‘Catholic Feminist’ Isn’t an Oxymoron, and Other Tales From a Beleaguered Tradition

By Celia Wexler

…nine exceptional women I profiled are the heart of the book. They include high-profile Catholic activists such as “Nun on the Bus” Sister Simone Campbell; Barbara Blaine, herself a sexual abuse survivor and the founder of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests; Marianne Duddy-Burke, the executive director of DignityUSA, which advocates for LGBT Catholics, and Frances Kissling, who served for 25 years as the head of Catholics for a Free…

Sex, Violence, Art, and Religion

By Kent L. Brintnall

…t to all subjects in our culture. Even if we are positioned differently vis-à-vis having attained a self, most of us have given into the temptation that acquiring selfhood, in a particular fashion, is the endgame. This, I think, is a genuinely dangerous conception, and I try to sketch an alternative vision found in the work of Bataille and Kaja Silverman. And, of course, because I describe the project’s politics as, in part, feminist, some people…

Dear Scientists: Please Stop Bashing Free Will!

By John Horgan

…more free will than adults my age suffering from schizophrenia or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Try telling prisoners or paraplegics that there is no free will, and that choices are illusory. “Let’s change places,” they might respond, “since you have nothing to lose.” We also need the concept of free will, much more than we need the concept of God. Our faith in free will has social value. It provides us with the metaphysical justification for eth…

Simple Answers To Simple Questions*—Newt Gingrich Edition

By Daniel Schultz

…Newt Gingrich that doesn’t involve the words “sleazy, warped, lying, bottom-feeding, power-mad, quasi-sociopathic, hypocritical, or serial adulterer”? A: Yes. “A sinner different from the rest of us only in the scale of his brokenness.” Also, his wives seem to be better persons than him, therefore “bottom-feeding” doesn’t really apply. So there’s that. *Or, “moderately complex answers to moderately complex rhetorical questions.” But that doesn’t r…

Encyclileaks: Was the ‘Laudato Si’ Leak a Sin or Just a Scoop?

By Kaya Oakes

…g forward to a sleepless night of encyclical reading followed by the bleary-eyed composition of hot takes and appearances on talk shows and radio on the morning of June 18, when the Vatican officially released it to the world. Then something weird happened: the encyclical leaked three days early. The journalist who wrote an introduction to the leaked draft in the Italian magazine L’Espresso, Sandro Magister, quickly was stripped of his Vatican pre…

Evangelical Prof’s ‘Biblical Comma’ Tweet Exposes Paradox of ‘Respectable’ Evangelical Anti-Intellectualism

By Chrissy Stroop

…f gender, marriage, and family is based on a strict patriarchal order. His new book resists any examination of the American social body’s structuring, labeling ‘Whiteness’ an imaginary category. Read in this context, the ‘biblical comma’ tweets reflect a desire to put clear borders and boundaries around the biblical text, just as he has sought to do with marriage, family, and the nation. For him, the Bible is scary if it offers permeable categorie…

“I Can’t Defend My People”: Opting Out of Evangelicalism, Post-Election

By Anita Little

…974210?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Pastor and author Skye Jethani expressed on his website: Look at what you have become—little more than a political identity with a pinch of impotent cultural Christianity. You’ve become a category for pollsters rather than pastors, a word of exclusion rather than embrace…What was admirable about your name has been buried, crushed under the weight of 60 million votes. I am no less committed to Christ, his gospel, and his…

Pussy Riot Members Sentenced to 2 Years for Offending Russian Orthodox Church

By The Editors

…sm. If Medvedev gave his presidency the slogan: “Freedom is better than non-freedom”, then, thanks to Medvedev’s felicitous saying, Putin’s third term has a good chance of being known by a new aphorism: “Prison is better than stoning.” I would like you to think carefully about the following reflection by Montaigne from his Essays written in the 16th century. He wrote: “You are holding your opinions in too high a regard if you burn people alive for…

Occultism and New Age Take Off in Iran: An Interview with Alireza Doostdar

By Alireza Doostdar

…ly I won their consent and hired a professional photographer to take a high-quality shot of the painting, which is held in Layla Diba’s private collection in New York City. I’m thrilled with the final result. The painting (most likely by Kamal al-Molk or someone in his circle) was executed in a realist style common at the turn of the twentieth century, but it also depicts tiny mischievous spirits dancing and playing around the exorcist as he tries…

Rage Against the New Age Machine: Three Days at the Osho International Meditation Resort

By Diane Winston

…adrenaline surged. I knew Citibank could be unreliable, but why was a peace-and-love retreat tormenting me? Returning empty-handed, I vented loudly in the crowded check-in area. Eager to calm my rising and very public ire, the registrar allowed us to check in and told me to come back in the morning. But before we could go to our rooms, we were taken to the Galleria, Osho’s one stop shop for toiletries, souvenirs and mandated resort wear—long maroo…
