Why Won’t the President Say “Islamic Terrorists?”

By Paula Cooey

…President Obama won’t use the phrase “Islamic terrorism”: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/665896711685087237 Although the President and I have not discussed the reasons, I can think of several good ones, at least one of which I’d like to address here. While the meaning of the term terrorism is subject to debate, let’s take for a moment the basic definition of terrorism as a strategy meant to strike fear in an opponent in order to achie…

Why The Church Can’t Stop Gun Violence

By Daniel Schultz

…hat is unlikely to work on a national level. In the Missouri University protests, the students held a trump card. The administration couldn’t afford to lose the entire football season, and so was forced to concede to the protestors’ demands. This is not to say there is nothing that can be done. Advocates can work on a local level, perhaps protesting irresponsible gun shops, or through gun buy-backs. Those are relatively small-scale, but every bit…

The Pope and the Culture Wars

By Patricia Miller

…On the eve of the Pope’s address to congress, RD Senior Correspondent Patti Miller spoke with NPR partner station KPCC about the effect on the culture wars of “[t]he most politicized pontiff in contemporary history.” https://soundcloud.com/religion-dispatches/papal-politics-how-pope-francis-stirs-the-culture-wars-in-dc…

Pope Francis meets with bishop who blessed gay couple; Proposed NGO law in Uganda threatens LGBT groups, civil society; Interfaith sexuality organizing in Indonesia; global LGBT recap

By Peter Montgomery

…logues is always to put young people first, allowing them to search out grounds of commonality, negotiating religious values and issues of concern around sexuality and the LGBT community, without fear of judgement. The inclusion of religious authorities in debates on sexuality is a new phenomenon in Indonesia. The country has seen the emergence of interfaith organisations such as Interfidei in Yogyakarta in 1991, or the Regional Interfaith Youth N…

Perhaps Islam isn’t the Only Reason Donald Trump Didn’t Recall Muhammad Ali

By Sean O'Neil

…d cooperation, rather than conflict and competition. It isn’t surprising, then, that Obama’s use of religion and sports to highlight the kind of social interdependence required to combat the othering and demonizing of Muslims left Trump feeling a little foggy….

Watch John Oliver Satirize IRS’ Lack of Church Oversight

By Becky Garrison

…y Broadcasting Network can be designated as a church by the IRS. Trinity Foundation (no relation to TBN), which assisted Last Week Tonight’s researchers, has been exposing religious frauds for over three decades, such as televangelist Robert Tilton, whose mail-marketing scheme was exposed on Oliver’s show. While the televangelists receive the bulk of the media coverage, an examination of the finances of the now defunct Mars Hill Church reveals the…

Ignoring the Pope on Climate Change is Not Like Using Contraception

By Kevin M. Lowe

…e change as divorced from morality is, as I argued in a previous piece, a fundamental misunderstanding of Catholic social doctrine. This is unfortunate coming from any member of the Catholic church, but especially from those in public life. Nevertheless, Catholics are entitled to loyally dissent from non-infallible papal teachings, including this encyclical. The role of Catholic teaching, as expressed at Vatican II, is to uphold the demands of con…

What to Wear When Praying with the Pope

By Donna Schaper

…in quiet comments, in an exhilarating schedule, at age 78. “The family is under assault, internally and externally.” Instead of being a scold, he shows appreciation for those who try to stay in families assaulted by months too long for the money. Of course it would be great if he lifted a papal finger and allowed the ordination of women and gays. I’d be pleased if he engaged the matter of abortion with the same sophistication he uses on the envir…

The Moral Bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Asceticism

By Vlad Chituc

…aybe we will one day live in a techno-ascetic utopia, where parking lots become parks and power plants become museums because we all use solar cells and drink Soylent and have our clothes shipped to us (efficiently) by drone. But who will exist on the fringes? Rhinehart’s vision would have us invert the “haves” and the “have-nots,” letting the rich live lightly by offloading the messy business of consuming and owning to the poor. The solution to o…

Is Monsanto Satan? The Pleasure and Problem of Conspiracy Theory

By Alan Levinovitz

…les and a book. The accusations began almost immediately. Again and again, online commenters accused me of being paid by Big Food to spread propaganda. And while Big Food consists of quite a few multinational corporations, commenters most often blamed my corruption on Monsanto, the agricultural biotechnology giant. Monsanto’s legendary depravity goes back for decades—they made Agent Orange for the government—earning it the nickname Monsatan (see #…
