By Cathleen Falsani

…e huge screens he helped imagine and create. The Forum morphed into a vast Irish wake as the band performed “40,” their perennial closer, for the first time on this tour. Bono told the story of an early live performance of the song, drawn from the words of Psalm 40 itself, at Colorado’s Red Rocks amphitheater many years ago. That night Mr. Sheehan had tried to get the audience to join in on the refrain, “How long to sing this song?” by singing it…

…Christian tradition, and he chose to have a religious marriage. “Northern Irish law does not recognise their marriage as a marriage, and that therefore denies them their right to manifest their beliefs.” He added: “My clients are not activists, not in any way, they are not trying to directly change legislation. Their aim is simply to have their marriage recognised as what it is. They did not want to do this, court is a last resort. Bolivia: Presi…

Are Michael Moore’s Films Inspired by His Catholicism?

By Rosemary R. Ruether

…these values, without advocating a radical alternative, such as socialism. Promotion of labor unions, laws guaranteeing a “just wage,” pensions and social security would have been the sort of policies promoted. This seems to be Moore’s perspective also, who speaks broadly of creating an economically and socially just democracy. While it is unlikely that Moore has spent much time poring over papal social encyclicals (which are not easy to read), h…

The Death of a Black Man at the Hands of Black Officers Unveiled Something More Complex Than Whiteness

By Willie Dwayne Francois

…chattel slavery. In fact, U.S. policing started in Boston to control poor Irish immigrants; in the South to maintain the slavocracy; and in the Midwest to intimidate Native Americans into a unique form of segregation. The anti-Black, anti-immigrant, anti-poor ethos of our policing keeps these histories alive on our streets as disempowered communities live vulnerable to what Achille Mbembe calls necropolitics. The death of Mr. Nichols unveils some…

…sation preparing to resist the ruling is the Core Issues Trust, a Northern Irish group that campaigns for Christian therapists who attempt to “treat” homosexuality and whose 2012 adverts stating, “Not gay! Ex-gay, Post-gay and Proud. Get over it!” were prevented from appearing on London buses by Boris Johnson after the Guardian alerted the mayor. In an online statement rebuking the ACC’s position, the Core Issues Trust said it was “a misapplicatio…

By Peter Montgomery

…f the UK where it is not legal for same-sex couples to marry. The Northern Irish Assembly backed equal marriage by a vote of 53 to 51 last year – but the DUP [Democratic Unionist Party] used peace process powers to override the democratic process and block equality for a fifth time. Earlier this year the DUP released its manifesto, or party platform, which states, “The DUP has stood by its commitment to family values and marriage and will continue…

Alienating Even the Sadistic Trumpian Right, How Did Kristi Noem Miscalculate So Badly With Her Puppy Killing Story?

By Annika Brockschmidt

…paign in 2007 when media reported that he’d transported the family dog, an Irish Setter on top of a car during a 12-hour trip, scaring the dog, leaving it to have diarrhea—washing down the car and then continuing the trip with the terrified dog still strapped to the roof of the car. Incidentally, Romney refused to compare his scandal to Noem’s, declaring: “I didn’t shoot my dog. I loved my dog, and my dog loved me.” While other former presidential…

Will Francis’ Statements on Women and Gays ‘Make a Mess’ Inside the Church?

By Mary E. Hunt

…golf partner with a kiss. We almost needed two ambulances on the course as Irish-American gentlemen of a certain vintage were not accustomed to such displays of public affection. So the sight of Francis kissing every baby in sight and hugging everyone else, while remarkable to those from more restrained cultures, was just the pope doing what comes naturally. Still, it left a good feeling, and religions rely as much on feelings as on doctrine. Braz…

Modernity’s Fraternity: What Dan Brown Gets Right

By Samuel Biagetti

…own sensibility. Not only do Brown and the Masons both love secrets and encoded symbols, but they believe that all of it must surely add up to some single great truth. It is a worldview that flourished in the Enlightenment, in which occult science and a deep sense of mystery surrounded the rise of modern rationalism. What today might appear to be a contradiction between reason and occult mysticism was once a natural relationship, and no other mov…

Blessed With a Dark Turn of Mind: Gillian Welch’s Spiritual Strivings

By Paul Harvey

…mbols of disturbance straight from the playbook of Southern lore and Scots-Irish ballads abound: I can’t say your name without a crow flying by. Conjurers and tricksters from black Southern lore, and traveling rounders as well as mountain women, desperate sharecroppers, and gospel singers from the white Southern tradition carry these narratives. These characters know that no answer will come on this Earth: We cannot have all things to please us No…
