Michael Jackson, Perfect “God” for the Media Age

By Kathryn Lofton

…cond) and the subsequent payoff to the alleged victim? Are our celebrities free of sin? KL: I am unconvinced scholars of religion—or, indeed, anyone without legal training and familiarity with the case—should speculate about these proceedings or the payoff. The most difficult thing to do when studying celebrity is not to become suckered by the insistent truth claims of that most undocumented, disputed medium: the tabloid press. So without knowing…

Will House “Freedom” Group’s Core Racism Go Unchallenged?

By Peter Laarman

…ins of the welfare state. The corporate media let well-fed white guys like Freedom Caucus leader Jim Jordan talk about the need not to saddle his children and grandchildren with government debt, but they never ask about the debt and disadvantage that is already saddled on the backs of poor children and youth of color. And this gets me to the question we all should be asking at this moment in regard to the Caucasian Caucusoids. It’s the same questi…

The Risks of Remaining Neutral on Egypt

By Haroon Moghul

…amaging to our traditional allies in the region; especially Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia—something Mubarak is well aware of. Because Iran and the resistance it claims to lead has for now stymied our aspirations for Lebanon, we might be tempted to do whatever we can to preserve the “moderate” Arab regimes (here, “moderate” implies a secular dictatorship and nothing more) and make sure our interests suffer no further reversals.

By Monica Byrne

…There’s only one column, labeled “Destination.” It includes Vietnam, Peru, Jordan, Sri Lanka, Cuba, and Ireland. My life doesn’t feel long enough to possibly go to all the places I want to go.

I do admit—especially as I turn 40 this summer—sometimes I still feel haunted by the nature of t…

Straightening Up Cardinal Newman

By Mark D. Jordan

The Vatican agency that reviews cases for new saints has ordered Cardinal Newman’s body exhumed and buried elsewhere. Chief among the stated reasons is the need to place his relics somewhere better suited for receiving pilgrims. What church officials don’t say is that the move will separate Newman’s remains from those of his friend, Ambrose St. John. They were buried together because Newman insisted upon it. There’s nothing unusual in managing re…

Election Day: Hope, Heartbreak, Naiveté, and Studs Terkel

By The Editors

…In the idea of “natural law” (equality before the law, right to property, freedom of conscience) applicable to every individual, regardless of religion, they erected a common legality. In the idea of “natural religion,” the belief in God, Providence and immortality of the soul, which were thought to guarantee morality and be inherent in all religions, they proffered a common morality.
