KOMMENTAR. Kristna vĂ€ljare har lĂ€nge lutat Ă„t höger men i Ă„rets Valu vann vĂ€nstern tydligt. Det Ă€r knappast resultatet av nĂ„gon charmoffensiv. FrĂ„gan Ă€r om vĂ€nstern förstĂ„r varför vĂ€ljarna kommit – och klarar av att behĂ„lla dem, skriver teologen @joelsh. flamman.se/vanstern-har-fatt

đŸššđŸŽ™ïž USA:s krigsminister Pete Hegseth vill genomföra en direktsĂ€nd offentlig avrĂ€ttning. Planerna har utlöst en ny debatt om amerikanska vĂ€rderingar. đŸŽ™ïž @joelsh och jag pratar om Hegseths planer, Trumps roll och hur bĂ„de anhĂ€ngare och motstĂ„ndare motiverar sina positioner. Vi pratar om dödsstraffet, den kristna högerns perspektiv – och om hur Trumpadministrationen Ă„terkommande klĂ€r statligt vĂ„ld i ett kristet sprĂ„k. I senaste avsnittet av LoungePodden.

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty

Replying to @joelsh
@joelsh har lĂ€st JD Vance bok, Communion, som har blivit vicepresidentens smygstart pĂ„ sin valkampanj för 2028. Vi pratade nyligen i LoungePodden om de kĂ€nslor som genomsyrar Vance egna berĂ€ttelser – men ocksĂ„ vilken position han kommer att försöka ta i presidentvalet 2028.

Does evangelical faith inevitably lead to nationalism, authoritarianism, and the political right? The American story may suggest so. Sweden’s Christian voters tell a very different story joelhalldorf.substack.com/p/

In 1998, 38% of regular churchgoers in Sweden supported the Christian Democrats. By 2023 that figure had fallen to 8%. As the party moved right, many Christian voters moved left. Why Sweden’s evangelicals took a different path from their US counterparts joelhalldorf.substack.com/p/

En gĂ„ng var KD ett kristet parti. Men det finns nĂ„got mĂ€rkligt nĂ€r dagens KD talar om kristendom. Sverige Ă€r ett kristet land, hĂ€vdar man – men sjĂ€lva Ă€r man inte nĂ„got kristet parti. Hur gĂ„r det egentligen ihop? Det gör det egentligen inte vitrok.substack.com/p/en-gan

Detta Àr tredje gÄngen som Birgitta Ed Àr föremÄl för tillsyn av domkapitlet i StrÀngnÀs, sedan hon anstÀlldes som prÀst januari 2023. Joel Halldorf, professor i kyrkohistoria, tror inte att Domkapitlets pÄgÄende tillsyn kommer att leda till nÄgon pÄföljd för Birgitta Ed. #svpol

”If we want reading to endure, tossing our smartphones into the nearest river will not be enough. Good readers are formed by a bookish culture, and it is this culture that we must try and rebuild.” Beyond the postliteral society, @lithub lithub.com/did-smartphones-r

JD Vances nyligen lanserade bok Communion och har soft launchat sin valkampanj. @TuckerCarlson har blivit med politisk rörelse. Vad sÀger hans tiopunktsmanifest för USA:s framtid? @AbdulElSayedkan bli USA:s första muslimska senator, medan Hillary Clinton Àr tillbaka med sina vinnande rÄd. Jag och @joelsh pratar i LoungePodden. Ratta in rÀtt poddkanal och lyssna.

We need to rediscover books not only as containers of information, but tools for contemplation. The point of reading is not to extract information as efficiently as possible. The greatest gift books offer our time is that they cultivate attention and create space for reflection.

“I came without a speech, because I’m hungry. “I’m hungry for justice, hungry for authentic charity, hungry for a Church that truly knows how to open the doors, welcome, receive everyone, where there is love for all and where no one is an enemy.” — Pope Leo XIV at lunch with 200 migrants, refugees, and homeless persons.
