Christian Nationalism Hurts the Children It Claims to Protect — As Author Lillian Smith Understood 80 Years Ago

By Matthew Teutsch and Emma Williams

…e threat it poses to democracy by linking it directly with fascism in Nazi Germany. Smith’s work grapples with conflicts of race and systemic inequality that are intertwined in American society. During Jim Crow, Smith examined the influence of Christian nationalism on the issues of her time, and her work continues to speak to us today.

…tire democracies under threat. Sure, the recent right-wing coup attempt in Germany had no real chance of actually succeeding. But that can’t be the only way to measure dangers to democracy—because then, we might as well hand over our democracies to the Right as we speak. It’s comparable to a common response to the “fascism” question: If the only fascism we recognize is one that looks exactly like in the 1930s, with an openly fascist government and…

By Mary E. Hunt

…acquiesced. Likewise, leaders of the Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School in Indianapolis, Indiana, recently rejected that Archdiocese’s demand that they fire a longtime teacher who is civilly married to a person of the same sex.

By Mary E. Hunt

…he delict of sexual abuse of minors.” Theologian Doris Wagner-Reisinger of Germany accused Mr. Geissler of trying to kiss her in the confessional in 2009; she was told that he had admitted it and been punished. That was several years ago, and he has been on the loose and employed in the very office dedicated to deal with similar incidents. It is hard to make up these cases. Another jaw dropper of late is a report that Argentine Archbishop Gustavo…

By Robert Bartholomew and Anja Reumschussel

…ile President Franklin Roosevelt had harsh words for Hitler’s treatment of Germany’s Jewish population, his words alone were little comfort to those who were fighting for their very survival, and that of their families. The United States even put pressure on European countries not to take them in, because they supposedly posed an imminent threat to their national security. This tragic episode took place amidst charges that many Jewish asylum-seeke…

Will Istanbul Ever Be a Part of the European Union?

By Haroon Moghul

…orth, probably Dubai in the south, central Europe in the west and probably India in the east to get this kind of economic power. It doesn’t deserve to be second fiddle to anyone, and with Turkey’s rise, I can see it playing a global role, in the near future, commensurate with its historic one. At the moment I’m overlooking the last stop on the European rail network. From here, you can go all the way to London. There’s another rail station on the A…
