Red Riding Hood Arouses Man’s Inner (Were)Wolf

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…more wolf-like than the wolves are. More predatory, more violent, more dangerous. There’s some confusion about the etymology of ‘were-wolf’ which appears to derive from the linkage of the words for “man” (vir) and wolf. But we hear a vague echo of “true” (wahr) in the name as well. The werewolf as a man-wolf. The werewolf as a true wolf. And the truest wolf of all is, precisely, a human being. Isn’t this perhaps the telling linguistic and mythic i…

The Myth of the ‘Lone Wolf’ Shooter Blinds Us to the Reality of White Supremacy

By Ivan Strenski

…ual shooters themselves. We need to move beyond the mythology of the “lone wolf” to root out the “wolf packs” behind these mass killings. Thinking of these killers as “lone wolf” actors makes it easier to dismiss them as demented individuals, hapless victims of bad parenting, self-destructive misfits, or erratic evil doers. It also makes it easier to believe that “it can’t happen here,” or that it only happens to “other people.” Instead, we need t…

The Myth of the ‘Lone Wolf’ Terrorist Continues with New Zealand Attack

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…impress other right-wing racists around the world, so he is hardly a lone wolf in any meaningful sense of the term. Nor does the “lone wolf” characterization fit many of the other individual terrorist attacks in recent years. In 2018 the vicious assault on a Jewish synagogue in Pittsburgh by Robert Gregory Bowers was characterized as an act of “lone wolf” terrorism. So was the 2015 massacre in a Charleston church by 21-year-old white supremacist…

Francis Now and Then: The Ecological Politics of Saints

By Beatrice Marovich

…ble to control the natural world. Francis’ solidarity with both humans and wolf brings about a kind of human-animal political harmony. But, as David Salter points out in Holy and Noble Beasts, Francis’ particular method is taming, or domestication. He is not protecting the wolf from the ravages of human technology so much as he is intervening after other technologies have failed. In the wake of this failure, Francis brings the wolf into the fold o…

Pricey Tickets, Cranky Citizens, and Priests Behind Bars as Philadelphia Prepares For Papal Visit

By Anthea Butler

…to continue to shrink into the insularity and disorganization that caused the Philadelphia Archdiocese to decline so precipitously? It remains to be seen. Meanwhile, faithful Catholics and others who want to see the Pope may be losing heart. 10,000 tickets for the Pope’s Speech at Independence Mall sold out in two minutes on Tuesday, with 394k people trying their best to get a few. Tickets are already being scalped at $100 and up on craigslist. I…

Atheist Asked By Wolf Blitzer If She Thanked the Lord After OK Tornado Honored

By Becky Garrison

…mother living in Moore, Oklahoma who became a viral sensation after CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked her if she thanked the Lord for saving her life during a deadly tornado, to which she responded, “I’m an atheist.” The AAA chose to reward Vitsmun for her courage in coming out to her family and the nation by awarding her a “Grace Under Pressure” award, as well as giving her son a toy microphone. In her talk and subsequent interview, she debunked Time col…

The Anglican and the Evangelicals: Insights from the Sudanese Genocide

By Frederick Clarkson

…n to the Hague and tried.” Brad Phillips said he agreed “100 percent” with Wolf. Wolf’s tirade underscores the hard truth that the international system has little capacity to prevent mass atrocities, or to stop them in the early stages. The pioneering work of the privately, but seat-of-the-pants-financed, Satellite Sentinel Project has shown what can be done to document and expose aggressive military postures and on the ground horrors, notably mas…

Mile-High Identity Politics: What We Can Learn From the Same-Sex Seating Controversy

By Eboo Patel

…, not the fourth century … You’re not free to practice your religion in my airline seat.’ ‘This is male entitlement .. the height of male arrogance.’ One comment referred to this as a ‘back of the bus’ issue; as in, women being asked to move in such circumstances was tantamount to assigning them a lesser status as citizens and lower dignity as human beings. Other readers proposed that airlines set aside special seating for men requiring such accom…

The Key to Understanding the Federalist Society Isn’t Originalism — It’s This 800-Year Old Tradition

By Peter Schwartz

…notions of “human dignity” and “human flourishing,” Catholic natural law—an 800-year-old tradition dating back to Thomas Aquinas—is a lens that offers utter clarity to conservative Catholic jurists, activists, policymakers, and scholars as they observe, describe, and engage the world. The power and sharpness of this lens allow them to confidently snap every human movement—every human desire and motive and act—into its divinely appointed and proper…

Atheist Nazis? The Pope’s Cheap Atonement

By Susannah Heschel

Adam Clayton Powell called it “cheap grace,” but we might call it “cheap atonement”: the effort by sinners to select which sins to acknowledge and repent. Pope Benedict XVI ended his heavily protested visit to England with a heartfelt apology for German bombings of England during the Battle of Britain; though he refused to accept Christian responsibility for the Holocaust, blaming it instead on pagans and atheists. Given that Cardinal Walter Kasp…
