Keep Jews Interesting: It’s Time to Stop Being Defined by Anti-Semitism

By Shaul Magid

…re that anti-Semitism remains at a low flame while we wait for the winning ticket. There’s an old Jewish-Hungarian adage that says, “Anti-Semitism is when the goyim hate the Jews too much.” I articulate this position not because I agree with it but because I think it underlies much of what we are struggling with, from the bedbug tweetstorm to Bari Weiss’ “greatest hits of anti-Semitism” book. The neo-Nazis are the anti-Semites we know; the progres…

By Mary E. Hunt

…all of the bishops were allegedly forced to tender their resignations, the numbers are plummeting. Ten years ago, 73% of Chileans called themselves Catholic. Today that percentage is 45 with reports that in Latin America as a whole numbers are down 20% in the same period. In Switzerland in November 2018, six prominent progressive Catholic women left the Church by filing the requisite papers that relieved them of contributing church taxes. Four are…

Heavenly Bodies Was the Most Popular Exhibit in the History of the Met—Here’s Why That’s a Problem

By Liz Bucar

…o go awry as soon as I arrived at the Met. I had pre-purchased my entrance ticket and the audio tour, only to find out that there was no audio tour. Things did not improve. I started in the Byzantine galley where five gold and silver metal mesh Versace dresses were on display, only they were placed above eye level, making it feel like I was peeking up the mannequins’ skirts. I see London, I see France, I see Versace’s underpants. The crush of peop…

All Of A Sudden, There’s Nazis Everywhere… And They Only Seem to Associate with One Party

By Daniel Schultz

…ois, there’s an actual goddamn Nazi running for Congress on the Republican ticket. To their credit, the Illinois GOP has disavowed Arthur Jones, former leader of the American Nazi Party, and like Nehlen, he’s not going to get anywhere near elected office: the district he’s running in is heavily Democratic. In fact, according to former Democratic campaign manager Dana Houle, Jones was probably able to slip in precisely because it is such a safe sea…

The Religious Right Has Come Out of the Closet

By Patricia Miller

…ssed serious Christian such as Pence even considering a place on the Trump ticket, but when it was offered, he didn’t think twice, yoking the Christian Right to Trump in exchange for a promise to appoint conservative judges and let the right have it’s way with anti-abortion legislation. While publicly Trump presented himself as an ally of the religious right, in private Mayer reports he gleefully mocked their most dearly held goal—banning abortion…

A: Pope Leo XIII promulgated Rerum Novarum, placing the Catholic church on the side of labor. Q: Who wrote The Social Gospel?

At Moms for Liberty Summit, ‘Mama Bears’ Declare Spiritual War on the ‘Radical Left’

By Annika Brockschmidt

…ork towards. And while some attendees had expressed interest in a DeSantis ticket in conversations earlier in the day, the ecstasy that swept the room when Trump appeared on stage felt different than even some standing ovations other candidates got. The crowd moaned and booed when he declared that “the Left” “wants to impose their sick creed of woke communism onto every man woman and child,” and roared in agreement, when he said, in response to ac…

A Pence Presidency Would Give Margaret Atwood’s Dystopian Vision a Run for its Money

By Diane Winston

…ates 24/7 surveillance of citizens. Ever since Mike Pence joined the Trump ticket, I’ve been haunted by Duvall’s character. What would that quiet, white, Christian male authority look like in today’s world, and what kind of society would Commander, oops, President Pence seek to build? As Trump’s troubles grow by the hour so does the urgency of these questions. Online and off, the term Christofascism is creeping into conversations. Christofascism,…

By Lauren Barbato

…ro became the first woman and Italian American to appear on a presidential ticket. A Catholic, Ferraro had ruffled the cassocks of some members of the hierarchy—specifically, then-New York Archbishop John O’Connor. Earlier in her congressional career, Ferraro worked with Catholics for a Free Choice in fostering discussions among her fellow Catholic members of Congress. Ferraro herself supported abortion rights but personally adhered to the Church’…

Radicalization Not Linked to Religion

By Julie Ingersoll

…eyer belt” toward radicalization is anything but a linear, one-dimensional process (if it can even be described as “a process.”) Summarizing the sociological literature, report author Faiza Patel finds no consensus that there is such a “conveyer belt.” She also finds that this faulty assumption serves as the basis to legitimize surveillance and infiltration of Muslim communities in ways that violate their rights to freely practice their religion….
