‘Pro-Life’ Theater, Open White Nationalism, and Virility Fear — Day 3 of NatCon

By Annika Brockschmidt and Ben Lorber

…hild after child after child to “delight” in, or, like the women on stage, promote path #1 to other women. It’s inconceivable that some women might not want that life because to them, the central feature of womanhood is the desire to have children. Recalling the “pre industrial era where lots of children were necessary to be running the farm,” Waters encourages us to see children as “your team members, playing a necessary role.” Endorsing “trad-wi…

Conservative French Catholics a ‘Rightwing Patriarchal Bunch’?; Indonesian Prez Decries Anti-LGBT Discrimination; Romanian Prez Warns Against ‘Religious Fanaticism’; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…xel University’s Phillip Ayoub: Ayoub said populist politicians in Poland, Hungary and other European countries were presenting gay rights as a threat to family values. “That’s been promoted by key figures around the globe including the Russian state and the Orthodox church,” he said. As tensions with Brussels spiralled over Ukraine in 2014, some of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s supporters took to calling Europe “Gayropa” and promoting Russia…

Forget “Nasty,” Trump’s Got a “Disgusting” Problem

By Karen E. Park

…issed a leper he met on the road. St. Catherine of Siena, St. Elizabeth of Hungary and many other saints cared for the sick, those who were too disgusting to touch, and brought themselves into intimate contact with the physical realities of infection and cancer. They understood that disgust for human beings has no place in the Christian life. Donald Trump seems to live in a near permanent state of disgust. He finds not only the human body but huma…

‘America First’ and the Origin of the Modern Jewish Conspiracy

By Eric C. Miller

…e use phrases like America First in the United States, Christian Nation in Hungary, or phrases like “cosmopolitan forces,” they are invoking language that has a long-standing relationship with racism and with anti-Semitism. So the first step is recognizing that. The second thing is to realize that these ideas have always expressed anxiety about the security of borders, fears about migration, loss of national and cultural sovereignty, and that thes…

In Sexual Abuse Hearing UN Calls Holy See on Girls’ Reproductive Rights

By Angela Bonavoglia

…hat “abortion is even more serious.” Soon after, another committee member, Hungary’s Maria Herczog, brought up a situation from Nicaragua, where the Catholic Church vigorously supports a ban on all abortions. The situation involved “a ten-year-old girl forced to give birth after being raped, with the full support of the Catholic Church and the local community. How do we challenge these unbearable situations in the name of the church?” she asked. A…

Politics in a Time of Crisis: Sandy? Blame Socialism

By Haroon Moghul

…the advertisement historically absurd—the U.S. is not a client state like Hungary was during the Cold War—the advertisement was also contextually absurd. If there is one thing people need during a national disaster, it is functioning and effective government. If there is one time we need redistributive justice, it is during a crisis. Much of politics perhaps just comes down to what is, and is not, a crisis—a hurricane I hope we can all agree on….

You’re Either Committing Ethnic Cleansing or You’re Not

By Haroon Moghul

…le and places. Jolie used regional actors, and the dialogue is in Bosnian. Hungary, where the film was shot, is a near approximation of Bosnia, though it subtly lacks in local color and feel (too much Austro-Hungarian and not enough Ottoman). But it is the intention here that matters, and such quibbles are minor. The bigger problem is that Blood and Honey seems to be several movies, few of which fit together, or even know what to do with each othe…

Killing For Religion, Not God

By Haroon Moghul

…tly, the Boston Review covered the rise of a worryingly far-right party in Hungary, and its attendant anti-Semitic impulses, whether explicit or implicit. Breivik’s screeds link Marxists and multiculturalists and blames both for a defense of Muslims; “Marxist” is often a stand-in for Jewish, as the rootless population that, in this case, enables an imagined Islamic conquest—Jews as the ultimately rootless, Muslims as rootless (migratory) but also…

Palin Cries ‘Blood Libel’: Can Words Harm Us?

By Susannah Heschel

…ania in the early modern period, and into the Middle East, Greece, Russia, Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire by the nineteenth century. The famous so-called Damascus Affair of 1840, which saw Jewish leaders from Western Europe defend Syrian Jews from the blood libel, stimulated treatises by anti-Semitic agitators, along with scholars who defended Jews and pseudo-scholars who falsely claimed that Jewish texts support ritual murder. The blood libel wa…

Magic v. Science: Doctor Who Part III

By Gabriel Mckee

…apparently based on Elizabeth Bathory, the historical “blood countess” of Hungary, who would have been twenty years old in 1580 when the episode is set. Bathory was accused of murdering young women and bathing in their blood, just as Calvierri preyed on the daughters of Venice. Calvierri even wears an Elizabethan reticula collar, consistent with many depictions of Bathory. The Doctor also explains that Venice was a favorite city of Lord Byron. By…
