A point of confusion and, sometimes, contention within the Christian religion is the role of saints in the life of the Church. In some branches of Christianity, such as Roman Catholicism and Anglicanism, saints occupy an important place, as is evidenced, among other things, by the names of their churches—St. Luke, St. George, St. Cuthbert, and so on. In some other traditions, particularly within evangelicalism and fundamentalism, the word “saint” is used rarely and with a different meaning. Some people in these traditions actively oppose Roman Catholic and Anglican ideas about saints and sainthood, but it seems that many, perhaps most, are unfamiliar with these issues and have questions about saints. What is a saint? Do some Christians worship saints? In this post I hope to answer some of these questions and give an overview of the role of saints in the ancient tradition of the Church.

Sen. Patty Murray Takes Stand For Infanticide
Democratic Washington Senator Patty Murray has moved to block a measure that would have outlawed infanticide. The bill, presented by Republican Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse, was titled the "Born-Alive Survivors Protection Act" and would have offered medical care and legal protections to infants who survived attempted abortions. Patty has essentially killed the bill.
