Cloverfield: Sin & Redemption, with Monsters

By Gabriel Mckee

…onds, people have lined up in front of it to take pictures with their cell phones. They’re distanced from what’s happening around them, oblivious to what it really means.

…amous Christian in the world.” He told me that last week in a great, great phone call. Oh, and Fred Douglass. I need to get his input, too.

By Alana Massey

…ave only carried so many bullets with him. Americans knew how to watch the number of reported casualties go up, but we lost our collective minds when we watched the number of confirmed active shooters in Paris go up. The images coming out of Paris in the immediate term were of a city devoured by chaos and fear rather than the stillness of carnage, more terrifying for their uncertainty. There was a brief lull in the digital noise when an official g…

…osmopolitan, successful, happy, and above all, “lucky” man, who got out of Europe in the nick of time, ending up in western Massachusetts with a successful medical practice. But you discovered, through your indefatigable sleuthing, that things were not easy at all: that he was destitute, struggled to establish that medical practice, and was haunted by those who weren’t so lucky to get out, and for whom he didn’t have the means to help. Did that ch…

With his eye on the secularism that has engulfed Europe, Pope Benedict hopes that the roads of science can lead back to Rome. The Vatican might agree with Dan Brown in this respect more than it would like to admit. By allying with Templeton, the Church has begun (or, rather, continued) to embrace what Brown’s zealous priest-villain fears most of all: “spiritually-bas…

A Tiny Little Mecca for
the West

By Haroon Moghul

…ded by tourists from all over the world, apparently arriving in increasing numbers. It’s possible that, with European Union membership, all three “constituent people” would be too small to indulge their anxieties. The idea of civilizations colliding is less genuine than cultures overlapping, opposing flags rightly transformed to markers of reference, not destinations or prohibitions. An historic openness could be rediscovered, for its outlines sti…

…e Nazi rise to power and the subsequent worsening situation of the Jews of Europe made the implementation of Zionist aims all the more urgent. Protestant groups in the United States reacted in different ways to this threat.
