Erin Straza, Patheos\/Christ and Pop Culture<\/em><\/a>: <\/em>\u201cIn the middle of relationship, I have the chance to work out my choices\u2014the good ones and the not-so-good ones\u2014while anchored in steady acceptance and love.\u201d<\/p>\n

George Neumayr, Real Clear Religion: <\/em>How Obama Bamboozled Catholics<\/a><\/p>\n

Mark D. Roberts, Patheos\/Mark D. Roberts<\/em><\/a>: <\/em>\u201cDavid\u2019s belief that he matters so much to God isn\u2019t wishful thinking, but rather a conviction based on how God has made himself known to David.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Goodwin, New York Post<\/em>: He Betrayed Us on Two Fronts<\/a><\/p>\n

Becky Hsu, Patheos\/Black, White and Gray<\/em><\/a>: <\/em>\u201cAristotle recognizes an important role for a sense of shame in a flourishing life. But, while he says that the virtuous person would feel shame if he or she did something disgraceful, an even more virtuous person would not do what is shameful in the first place. Shame is a good thing in imperfect humans, but it is not, in and of itself, a part of human flourishing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael F. Cannon, National Review Online<\/em>: Obamacare Is Still Vulnerable<\/a><\/p>\n

Peter Enns, Patheos\/Peter Enns<\/em><\/a>: \u201cA suffering God is a disorienting thought, if we let it sink in for a moment. It is also logically inexplicable. If true, however, it is, as Gunnar concluded, \u201cgood news.\u201d In our darkest moments, we are not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stephen Prothero, Belief Blog:<\/em> 7 Ways Religious Diversity Played in the Election<\/a><\/p>\n

Marc Barners, Patheos\/Bad Catholic<\/em><\/a>: <\/em>\u201cAny experience of love as finite would be disappointment. We clench our teeth when told \u201cI\u2019ll love who you become\u201d, \u201cI can\u2019t love you after that<\/em>\u201c, because we experience a lack of love. The language of love is not the language of finitude.\u201d<\/p>\n
