I'm Michael Peterson, a priest in the Anglican Church of Canada, currently serving a parish in the Diocese of Toronto. I'm also a retired Canadian Forces chaplain , hence the Padre in the title. Mad just means eccentric, and on that note, I also blog on toy soldiers, madpadrewargames.blogspot.com. I'm on X (what used to be Twitter) at @MarshalLuigi and I'm on Bluesky at @madpadre.bsky.social

BeastNews On The Religious/Political Fault Line
Interesting discussion on Beast TV this morning starts on whether the media are allowed to question a presidential candidate's religious beliefs on the role of women, and segues into a larger discussion on the "fault line" of mutual incomprehension between the media and traditional religious belief. Panelists ask some good questions as to whether the media can discuss the civic implications of belief (ie, questions on gender discrimination) while respecting the right to religious belief. No answers but good questions.
