L.A. Times - Religious News ( Headlines from latimes.com )
Lawmaker apologizes after 'savage religion' remark Rep. Donald Manzullo (R-Ill.) says his remark about terrorism suspects did not refer to Islam generally. Also, the Senate avoids an effort to block spending for U.S. housing of Guantanamo inmates. An Illinois congressman who opposes the idea of moving terrorism suspects to a prison in his district issued a qualified apology Tuesday after a comment that critics viewed as insulting to Islam.
Gap's Christmas cheer makes a boycott backfire The American Family Assn. attacked Gap for not using the word 'Christmas' in its advertising -- but in fact it does, and in a big way too. The Mississippi-based American Family Assn. last week issued a fatwa against Gap Inc. -- the retailing giant whose brands include Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic -- calling for a "two-month boycott over the company's failure to use the word 'Christmas' in its advertising to Christmas shoppers."
Catholic bishops' influence on healthcare bill The church's support of Democratic healthcare efforts gave it a seat at the table during last week's healthcare vote -- and helped it add a controversial antiabortion amendment. For weeks, the Catholic Church has asked its U.S. parishioners to work toward ensuring that tough language restricting federal funding of abortion is included in healthcare overhaul legislation.
