An Architect Reimagines the Synagogue as Ark, Shelter, Floating Fortress

By Kathryn Joyce

…ght from Columbia to New York that ran out of fuel as it was held circling JFK airport awaiting permission to land, killing 73. In the midst of a subsequent council meeting, the mayor of Glen Cove sequentially cited the heroics of local emergency workers for responding to the crash, and then lamented the presence of immigrant Latino day laborers in the town streets. “I couldn’t resist responding to the irony, and I stood up and said, ‘It seems to…

The Conservative Christian Case for Separation of Church and State

By Jimi Jobin

…the favor of the pastors—like Mr. Howie is promising to do today. What if JFK had been endorsed by the Pope, what might he have done to protestants? What if Billy Graham had used his crusades to call for the reelection of his close friend, Richard Nixon? Pastors needn’t remain neutral when it comes to social change. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. championed civil rights, Rev. Charles Finney fought to abolish slavery, and many more contributed to all…

Looking at Death: Images of 9/11, Before, During, and After

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…e in recent years. From her books on photography and the Holocaust, to the JFK assassination, and on to 9/11, Zelizer has continually demonstrated the ways images affect a collective consciousness. Remembering to Forget, for example, shows how photography became the medium of collective memory for the events of the Holocaust in the 1940s: images of Nazi concentration camps affected people across the world, as powerful photos surpassed the written…

How America’s Charismatic Christianity Helped Fuel the Fantasyland Presidency of Donald Trump

By Eric C. Miller

…d a conspiracy covered that up; that Ted Cruz’s father was involved in the JFK assassination; that five million illegal immigrants voted against him in the 2016 election; and on and on and on. The fact that he is so indifferent to empirical reality and so willing to stand up and embrace explanations that simply confirm his pre-existing ideas or are convenient for him because they make him seem better or his enemies worse—it’s somewhat unkind, I un…

Dumping Satan: It’s Time to Let Go

By Emily Manuel

…ve to watch out for him.” You see that stirring now. Not as strong as when JFK was running for office, but it hasn’t gone away. Do you think the demonization of the other is built into American DNA? It definitely undergirds our politics and how we see the world, but I don’t want to limit this to just America—it’s just very visible right now in this society and this culture. My Spaniard ancestors, for example, demonized Native Americans and committ…

A High Wall, A Sacred Canopy, A Conversation

By Linell Cady

…in a highly publicized speech last December to follow in the footsteps of JFK in explaining to the American public why his religious affiliation should not be an obstacle to his candidacy. But quite unlike Kennedy, Romney did not appeal to an absolute wall of separation between religion and secular politics, a position that has lost much of its resonance in broad segments of the American public in the past fifty years, most especially among his c…

The Missing Religion in the Debate

By Julie Ingersoll

…emed designed to show us how much the country has changed) that he thought JFK erred too far on the side of separating his Catholicism from his politics. Yes, there were “family values” discussions about young women being protected from HPV and, of course, the whole “Christian alternative science” thing was behind the global warming discussion. Herman Cain joked about the biblical tithe, while Rick Perry defended biblical law in the form of his st…

Lincoln and Obama: A Precarious Parallel

By Susan Henking

…it new to equate presidents that promise hope with Lincoln—we did it with JFK (another president in whom many invested hope as we elected our first, and only, Catholic president). Yes, as we recognize the 200th year of his birth, this is a year filled with Lincoln celebrations. Obama has, of course, been self-conscious in his construction of such parallels: from his announcement of candidacy on the steps of the Illinois State House to the title o…

RD10Q: How the Democrats lost the Catholic vote

By Michael Sean Winters

…in China. How do you feel about the cover? Hate it. I wanted a picture of JFK with nuns in full habit. We forget how greatly the world has changed in 50 years and there is nothing like seeing a nun in full habit to remind us. Is there a book out there you wish you had written? Which one? Why? Someday I would like to write about the anti-Catholicism of the Founding Fathers. My friend Alan Wolfe wants me to write a book about why I think the Reform…
