Why Crux‘s Knights of Columbus “Partnership” is Problematic

By Kaya Oakes

…members, stepped up to support Crux. Allen and Vatican correspondent Inez San Martin would remain on staff, and Allen joked to Nieman Lab that the Knights’ buyout was a “corporate resurrection. We died and rose again on the third day.” Allen was insistent that the Knights’ interest in Crux did not mean they would assert editorial control over the site; he told Neiman Lab that “they’re getting into because they like what we do and they want to sup…

I Was a Stranger: New York Activists Stage a Lenten Action for Sanctuary

By Kaya Oakes

…other.” He added that the church should be “true to its values” and offer sanctuary in the event of mass deportations. Even San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, widely known as an ultra-conservative “culture warrior,” promised that immigrants in his diocese would “know their rights” and be “protected.” The Matthew 25 activists in New York hope Dolan will offer the same. One source I spoke to, a housing attorney and lay Catholic, told me…

The Heart of Texas Ain’t Hateful: An Open Letter to Lawmakers From a Texan Trans Queer Latinx

By Robyn Henderson-Espinoza

…try that picked me up every week for Sunday School and worship service. In San Antonio, I was reminded of the power of community when neighbors, loved ones, and strangers stopped by to see how we were doing—just because. And in college, I experienced welcome through a wide variety of student ministry programs. My teachers at Hardin-Simmons University taught me that my own pursuit of what is right stems from a deep-seated sense of awareness of diff…

I Know Why a Rain Dance Won’t End The Drought

By Johnny P. Flynn

…t to the west moves east to encounter the Coconino Plateau (7000’) and the San Francisco Peaks (13,000’+) the hot air off the desert and the cool air of the high mountains cause thunderstorms to form. These storms move from the southwest to the northeast right toward the Hopi reservation in north-central Arizona. The weather pattern, called the ‘monsoon’ in Arizona, is predictable (monsoon actually comes from the Arabic word for season). Arizona’s…

Cuba Opens its Doors to the Catholic Church

By Michelle Gonzalez Maldonado

…The significance of Wenski, Castro, and Ortega together at the Seminary of San Carlos and San Ambrosio, a symbolic trinity of Cubans’ and Cuban-Americans’ negotiations between identity, land, and religion, is not lost on me. For the Catholic Church globally, this opening is a public testimony of the survival of Catholicism in spite of increasing clergy shortages throughout other parts of Latin America. While many are heralding this as the beginnin…

It’s the Catholic Bishops, Not Those Who Toppled Junipero Serra Statues, Who Have Failed the Test of History

By Jacqueline M. Hidalgo

…ism and ethnic discrimination), toppling a statue of St. Junípero Serra in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. The next day, activists shouting, “this is for our ancestors,” pulled down another iconic Serra statue, this time in the heart of Los Angeles at Placita Olvera. The California Catholic Conference of Bishops (CCCB) responded with more empty support of anti-racist movements, yet they refuse to grapple with the ways that racism and colonial vi…

RD10Q: Spiritual Survival for LGBT Christians

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…aying she thought it was a warm and inviting cover. “But, see, you live in San Francisco,” I told her. “I live in South Carolina. In San Fran that may be warm and inviting, here, that’s called porn.” The only good thing was that the font had changed to what it presently is on the book, making it look a bit more like a book about faith and not a whodunit. She agreed, grudgingly, to once again go back to the drawing board. The next pass was the stee…

Amid Growing Legitimacy Challenges from its Right and Left, Vatican Seizes Control of the Supernatural — to Prevent ‘Abuses’

By Emma Cieslik

…pope. In fact, the updated Vatican guidance comes just three months after San Antonio priest Father John Mary Foster claimed he received three prophetic messages directly from God stating that Francis is a “usurper,” and that left-leaning Church leadership is a sign, as Galassini argues, of the End Times. In God’s second message, titled Time to Join My Army—A Call to Priests and Bishops, God told Foster that: You have not only let the smoke of Sa…

McCain’s Prosperity Preacher

By Sarah Posner

…of that God-given message. As one former Hagee follower told me, when the San Antonio Express-News published an exposé of Hagee’s excessive compensation in 2003, she read the article but “would not look at his tax returns. Out of respect to him. And I wrote the reporter a scathing letter, telling her—I invited her to church—to tell her how wrong she was.” Because churches are not required by the Internal Revenue Service to file tax returns, and n…

Hagee Hangs On

By Bill Berkowitz

…ity.” One of Hagee’s more vigorous defenders is Rabbi Aryeh Scheinberg, of San Antonio’s Congregation Rodfei Sholom, who wrote on CUFI’s Web site that it was “ironic and absurd that when Pastor Hagee was lecturing on one of the Jewish perspectives of the Holocaust that his words were twisted and used to attack him for being anti-Semitic.” Scheinberg also called Hagee “a world leader in his support of Israel.” Hagee and Scheinberg go way back. In a…
