Get Religion is a national and global journalism site focusing on how the mainstream press covers religion news in politics, entertainment, business and sports.
Alas, I am sad to report that there are no ghosts at all in Newsweek‘s much ballyhooed front-page exclusive look behind the secret curtain that hid the real President George W.

Many Orthodox Christians, at some point in their lives, claim a particular priest as their “spiritual father” and as a special source of inspiration in the faith.
