Paul Caldwell: Newest Duggar In-Law Under Fire For Controversial Views
If you watched the season premiere of Counting On last night, then you witnessed the beginning of the Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell’s courtship.
Joseph and Kendra married last month, but due to the lag in production time, vthe origin of their relationship is just now being documented on the show.
Kendra is considered by many to be a natural fit for Joe due to their similar backgrounds.
Both come from equally pious and strictly conservative backgrounds.
Both share similar views regarding relationships and child-rearing.
And both grew up with the church at the center of their lives.
That being the case, Joseph and Kendra are something of a power couple in their tiny Arkansas hometown.
Joseph’s family carries so much clout in Tontitown, that residents jokingly refer to the area as “Duggarville.”
And Kendra’s family also enjoys a place at the top of the social hierarchy, thanks to her father’s work as a local pastor.
But while Joe and Kendra may appear to be a match made in heaven (literally, in the eyes of their parents), the relationship has not been without its share of controversies.
For starters, there are reports that Kendra courted Jedediah Duggar before shifting her affections to his brother Joe for reasons that remain unclear.
On top of that, Kendra’s father, Paul Caldwell, is something of a divisive figure due to his ultra-conservative views on topics such as homosexuality.
Pastor Caldwell recently became a subject of nationwide criticism as a result of a pamphlet distributed in Tontitown by his church.
“Does God love homosexuals?” the pamphlet rhetorically asked, with Caldwell responding that it’s a “flawed question, [because] there are no such things as homosexuals.”
It’s a teaching that meshes with the Duggars’ homophobic worldview, but there’s been a considerable effort on the part of TLC and the family’s PR team to downplay that aspect of the family’s belief system.
Lately, that’s been an exceedingly difficult task.
On top of Paul Caldwell joining the Duggar ranks, Jill Duggar’s husband, Derick Dillard, recently sparked outrage as a result of his comments about fellow TLC star Jazz Jennings.
Seemingly unprovoked, Derickn attacked Jazz – who is a transgender teen – on Twitter, arguing that “transgender is a myth” and informing her that she stars in a reality show that “features a non-reality.”
All of this comes at a time when the Duggars can scarcely afford another scandal.
Many former fans wrote the family off in the wake of the Josh Duggar sex scandals, and many more are now outraged by the family’s views on the LGBTQ community.
Over the past year, ratings for the family’s reality show have declined steadily, and TLC execs have reportedly begun to wonder if the Duggars have a future on television.
The addition of Pastor Paul seems unlikely to do many favors for the family’s battered reputation amongst moderate and left-leaning viewers.

Kate Middleton: At War with Future In-Law Spencer Matthews!
Pippa Middleton may have landed her dream man, James Matthews, but the financier comes with a bit of baggage.
That baggage happens to be his younger brother, British reality star Spencer Matthews (Made In Chelsea, The Bachelor, I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!).
Spencer is your typical reality star. He’s bragged about bedding around 1,000 women by the time he was 27, has admitted to cocaine use and developed an addiction to steroids.
Spencer, 28, is also friends with James Middleton, the youngest brother of Pippa and the Duchess of Cambridge.
Speaking of Her Royal Highness, it’s rumored that she’s a bit weary of Pippa’s new in-law, and fears any association with Spencer with tarnish not only the good Middleton name, but the royal family as well.
“Kate has been complaining to Pippa about Spencer slipping up,” a source allegedly told Life & Style.
“But James [Matthews] has promised that Spencer will keep quiet and Pippa believes her fiancé, so she thinks Kate should keep her opinions to herself.”
The wedding will likely take place sometime next year (some reports claim that it will be held at the Middleton’s Bucklebury home), but Catherine is kind of freaking TFO about what kind of hell Spencer might raise.
“[She] will obviously be friendly, but she hopes she is not expected to pose for photos with Spencer,” a source said of Catherine.
“And William plans to ask that they be seated far from him.”
Spencer is the commoner equivalent of Prince Harry, so William should be used to the idea of a younger sibling who loves ladies and a good time (granted, Prince Harry has never been photographed or admitted to doing drugs aside from pot).
Spencer and his older brother could not be more different from one another, as he explained to me in 2012.
“You know, my brother is an extremely private guy and he just despises any mention of his name in any press,” Spencer revealed.
“He is the opposite of me, although we’re quite good friends.”
Everyone relax. No one is tarnishing the good name Windsor Middleton.
