But a very recent study from Germany signals a more terrifying reality: three quarters of insect life there has disappeared in the last twenty five years. Because insects serve as indicators of healthy ecologies and biospheres, they’re using terms like “ecological catastrophe,” “environmental apocalypse,” and “Armageddon.” When you consider how little and mystified our knowledge of the insect world act…

The God of the Holocene Epoch Is Dead: Religion’s Fatal Flaw

By Daniel C. Maguire

…s hopeless and urges plans to migrate into space. Is There Any Hope? Hopeful scientists like Johann Rockstrom say we have the technical genius (shown by dramatic advances in renewable energy and agriculture in countries like Holland, Germany, and Scandinavia) to extend life for a few centuries—if the planet goes fossil-fuel-free in twenty-five years. If not, it’s doomsday. Bottom line: we may be able to slow the decline. But there is no deus ex ma…

By Daniel Schultz

…story goes), growled “I didn’t come ashore at Omaha Beach and fight across Germany to work for a goddamn Nazi.” He turned on his heel and walked out. Now, what could bring that story to mind?

By Eric C. Miller

…tles—which they had borrowed from these sort of Beatnik existentialists in Germany—was viewed as such a radical departure from how young men were supposed to look and to behave. There was a lot of talk about how tight their clothes were and how their hair was effeminate. But most of all, evangelicals, and some Catholics, had a pervasive fear about the hysteria that they inspired in young girls. In all of this, there was this view that teenagers lo…

By Mary E. Hunt

…clusive leadership. Within a year, no one would miss the bishops. Pivot to Germany where Cardinal Walter Brandmüller proclaimed that those who promote women’s ordination are heretics. German Archbishop Georg Ganswein assured the faithful that women would never be ordained during his lifetime, or, even “after his death.” Who knew that the gentleman also known as “Gorgeous George” had such amazing ability to foretell the future? No wonder he manages…

Author Responds to Criticism of Teilhard Eugenics Essay

By John P. Slattery

…shocking revelations of what took place in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. It’s true that I could have included entire paragraphs surrounding each quote (and my editor can attest to the fact that I tried!), but in the end we have what we have, and we must not look away lightly. Lack of scholarship Dr. Canzona writes, “my dissertation is the first sustained comparison of Teilhard with a Muslim thinker. I could just as easily ask why this h…

…d by white supremacists, came a decade before the Nazi Party took power in Germany” and they stayed on the books through the 1930s and 40s.

Immigration laws were likewise enacted to limit and exclu…

In a Time of Irrational Fear and New Media: The Deadly ‘Dance Plague’ at 500

By Ed Simon

…pocryphal accounts of mass armies of the Purgatorial dead rampaging across Germany, some holding their severed limbs, some holding their severed heads. Again, before we blithely dismiss the past as prone to paranoia, we’d be wise to recall the conspiracy theories of our present day, or the irrational beliefs which proliferate on social media that were mentioned earlier. Christendom itself was on the verge of mutilation, as Martin Luther had initia…

Teilhard’s Legacy Can’t Be Reduced to Racism: A Response to John Slattery

By Joshua Canoza

…faith in the “inevitability of human progress” despite the horrors of Nazi Germany. Once again, this is obvious in the excised portion of the source text, “Man,” he asserted, “to become fully man, must have tried everything . . .” Of course, he [Teilhard] added as a corollary, since the human species was still so young and still prone to fall into the dark from which it came, the persistence of such evil was to be expected. But since, unlike the l…

…logical liberalism and social democratic reform in early-twentieth-century Germany, saw it differently. He argued that Galatians 3:28 was at the heart of Paul’s radical social vision—even if his own nerves would not quite tolerate the fullness of that vision in real time.2 Today, most scholars do not deny the radical social and political implications of the saying, but they also do not assign the verse directly to Paul. To be sure, Paul wrote it i…
