By Haroon Moghul

…ve of Islamic brutality, there is a Middle Easterner or South Asian who links Iraqi sanctions, Condoleezza Rice’s cruel “birth pangs of a new Middle East,” and ongoing drone strikes to paint a parallel picture of an essentially violent West. The sad fact is, many people are untroubled by violence or extremism, except if it affects them, their interests, or those considered “like” themselves.

“Make The Mass Latin Again”: The Pope Francis Backlash Comes Home

By Kaya Oakes

…nish, Tagalog, and multiple Asian and African languages. Yes, at one point Latin was a universal language in the church. But that point is long gone. If “Make America Great Again” was based on a return to a glorious but largely mythological past, “Make the Mass Latin Again” is likewise a callback to a mythological past of Catholicism. There’s beauty in mythology, to be sure. But there is also grave danger in believing mythologies can save broken i…

…’t support the initiative. “Why,” he asked, “do something that makes us look like we are completely out of touch?” Circumcision: Not Only for Jews Negative reaction to the San Francisco initiative was not limited to local politicians and Jewish groups. Jews represent only two percent of the American population, but over sixty percent of American males are circumcised—and Jews are not the only religious group that practices circumcision.

By Juliane Schober

…withdrawal from political engagement. In adopting Gandhi’s strategies, Suu Kyi looks for ways to translate his model of satyagraha into a Buddhist context. Strikingly, she represents perhaps the first modern female Buddhist ascetic to engage in civil resistance. In her view, modern Buddhist ethical conduct must ameliorate social, economic, and political injustice. From this ethical premise, Suu Kyi has articulated an encompassing vision of politic…

Shocked by Aung San Suu Kyi’s Insensitivity to Ethnic Cleansing? Don’t Be.

By Michael Jerryson

…ned that her government has tried to diplomatically work with Myanmar to take back the refugees: “But the Myanmar government is not responding to the calls. Rather, Myanmar is laying landmines along the border to stop the return of Rohingyas to their homeland.” Three years ago, Nicholas Kristof identified the IDP camps as the modern equivalent of concentration camps. Yet, Aung San Suu Kyi expressed ignorance over why close to half of the one milli…

Queering Easter: The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Redefine Sainthood

By Susan Henking

…r, April 4, 2010, they will celebrate their 31st anniversary in Dolores Park in San Francisco—with the traditional Hunky Jesus and Easter bonnet competitions. Founded in 1979, the order’s official history (a.k.a. “sistory”—see this site) begins with their resistance to conformity within gay culture: On Easter Weekend, during the time of the “Castro Clone,” three men went out into the streets to challenge the world. They went in full, traditional h…

By Lygia Navarro

…onks from San Jose. “The Dalai Lama always says don’t be violent,” said monk Sangyal Dhondub through a Tibetan interpreter. But those protesting Chinese treatment of Tibetans must not be judged too harshly, he continued, even if they disrupt Olympic activities: “As human beings, they cannot control their emotions.” “I’m in support of protest happening here, so people know that Tibetans still exist,” said his translator, Losang Tsarang. “We don’t h…

…seph Ratzinger) recently placed liberation theology in context with the work of the “great Doctors of the Church like St. Augustine and St. Thomas.” Cardinal Müller also edited a collection of essays on liberation theology—including one by its founder, Peruvian Gustavo Gutiérrez—published with a preface by Pope Francis and presented to the public this past February. Pope Francis welcomed Gutiérrez to the Vatican during his stay in Rome for the pre…

By Michelle Gonzalez Maldonado

…l-intentioned. Over sixty Roman Catholic Churches collapsed in the earthquake in Haiti, killing over one hundred nuns and priests. As the Haitian Catholic Church tries to rebuild, it worries about how the Haitian exodus to rural provinces (where, in some cases, Protestant denominations are more entrenched) will affect the future of Catholicism in this nation. International money and support will flood into Haiti on behalf of every Christian denomi…

Pope Francis’ Concern for Jews is Genuine — But Until This Doctrine is Abolished He’ll Have Trouble Convincing Them

By Paul Knitter

…ent rabbis in Israel, Rome, and the US to remind the Pope that this is the kind of talk that throughout the history of Christianity has led to “contempt for the Jews.” Coming to the Pope’s defense, Catholic journalist and editor of Crux, John Allen called the whole affair a “kerfuffle” and attempted to smooth it over by scolding the rabbis and critics, and “reminding them” that: “…while Pope Francis may not always express himself with the theologi…
