Some Thoughts on Richard Dawkins’ Terrible Tweet

By Haroon Moghul

…the strange argument that “democracies do not attack each other,” consider Chile—not Muslim—and Iran—majority-Muslim. In both instances, the American government overthrew democratically elected leaders for fear of what they might do. In 1979, Russia ‘intervened’ to save Afghanistan’s fractious Communist government, which gesture led to the deaths of nearly ten percent of Afghanistan’s population. Afghanistan has still not recovered. Subsequently t…

The Evolution of Religion, According to Darwin

By Elizabeth Drescher

…e beginning of the end of his faith—Darwin tells a group of young women in Chile who are confused by his Anglican practice that he is “a sort of Christian.” You argue that rather than signaling an evolving loss of faith, such episodes hint at “a growing awareness that evolution was not just about physical forms but had religious and moral trajectories.” What do you mean by this? How did the voyage change Darwin’s view of religion? Today we’d prob…

Leadership Conference of Women Religious: No Retreat, No Surrender

By Anthea Butler

…her speech as she stepped down from her office was a phrase she learned in Chile during the Military dictatorship. “They can crush a few flowers, but they cannot hold back the springtime.” It is probably going to take a spring storm of sustained measure to stop the CDF and the Archbishop Peter Sartain of Seattle appointed to oversee the CDF mandate to carry out reforms in the LCWR. New President Franciscan Sr. Florence Deacon will lead the LCWR du…

How Does Mormonism Shape Romney’s Foreign Policy?

By Joanna Brooks

…demographics, but essentially values-neutral and centered on defending and promoting the interests of large institutions that reward loyalty. We’ve seen this institutional loyalty-centered approach to foreign policy from LDS people in decision-making positions before. It was Jay Bybee (a lifelong Mormon and returned Mormon missionary who served in Chile during the Pinochet coup) who supervised and signed the 2002 “Torture Memos” effectively author…

Gay Marriage Supporters Rally People of Faith for Washington’s November Vote

By Nicole Neroulias

…he had become “unfazed by rejection” during his two-year Mormon mission in Chile. “There are people out there that are ready to hear your message. You just have to find them,” he said, of both experiences. “There are people who have been preparing to become accepting, and it’s now time to harvest.” In his own faith community, a bisexual relative and a gay college friend have stopped attending Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gatherings…

Mormons Prepare to March in Seven LGBT Parades this Weekend

By Joanna Brooks

…ty, San Francisco, Houston, Seattle, Cleveland, Twin Cities, and Santiago, Chile. More than 140 Mormons are expected to march in Santiago alone. It is striking to think that it was four years ago this month that the LDS Church issued a letter to be read to California congregations urging members to full engagement in support of Proposition 8, setting into motion a headline-grabbing Mormon campaign to end civil same-sex marriage in California. Sinc…

Global Anti-Gay Forces Plot Against ‘Satanic’ Equality Movement

By Peter Montgomery

…n under investigation by the officials in the prime minister’s office for “promoting homosexuality” since mid-March. The organization has been trying to resolve the matter quietly, but activists in Uganda say privately the investigation could be the beginning of an ominous political turn they have long feared — that the law would work not only to destroy the lives of hundreds of LGBT individuals, but also would become a weapon used against critics…

…bility of its people,” he said. “The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.” In the early 60s, Kissinger wrote that “The West requires nothing so much as men able to create their own reality,” a vaunting empowerment fantasy inseparable from the implicit colonialism and nationalism. Kissinger imagined great statesmen imposing the triumph of Western civilization upon the globe through sheer force of…

Vatican Sexual Abuse Meeting Is Destined to Fail—To Stop the Problem or the Decline

By Mary E. Hunt

…ncreasing number of people, that boat of Peter has sailed. For example, in Chile where a major scandal unfolded such that all of the bishops were allegedly forced to tender their resignations, the numbers are plummeting. Ten years ago, 73% of Chileans called themselves Catholic. Today that percentage is 45 with reports that in Latin America as a whole numbers are down 20% in the same period. In Switzerland in November 2018, six prominent progressi…

Should We Believe ‘Bombshell’ Report on Pope’s Knowledge of Sexual Abuse?

By Daniel Schultz

…l abuse, but that a former Vatican Secretary of State “notoriously favored promoting homosexuals into positions of responsibility,” and that McCarrick somehow helped maneuver liberals into episcopal positions. The agenda becomes clear: Viganò and his supporters don’t want increased tolerance for gays in ministry, and they blame them for the sex abuse crisis. Viganò says as much directly: The homosexual networks present in the Church must be eradic…
