Beyond the Miniskirt-Wearing Nun: What Catholic Reform Looks Like

By Colleen McDannell

…d in the book, beginning with my great grandparents’ ancestral villages in Germany and ending with Blessed Trinity in Ocala, Florida. Hours were spent in local libraries and interviewing parishioners. Frequently what I thought provided colorful historical background merely served to distract the readers from the story of the reception of the Council. Since The Spirit of Vatican II is not a memoir, the family details often got the axe. What are som…

Today We Pray for Women for Whom Pregnancy is Not Good News …

By Kiera Feldman

…he Liberty Counsel proclaimed, was “comparable to the religious leaders in Germany who supported Adolf Hitler.” Of course spirituality already exists in abortion clinics. Kromenaker estimated that over 80% of the women who come to the RRWC grew up going to church. One of five states with only a single abortion provider, North Dakota is primarily Catholic and Lutheran. Even though women might worry that God will never forgive them or that they’ll g…

What Will Romney Do about Bryan Fischer’s Gloating Over Grenell?

By Sarah Posner

…s chic in some homosexual circles for individuals to wear replicas of Nazi Germany uniforms, complete with iron crosses, storm trooper outfits, military boots, and even swastikas.” Republican politicians have had many opportunities to declare Fischer out of bounds, or at least put some distance between them. But they have declined to do so, for the most part, except for Romney’s rebuke at VVS. Recall what Romney said then: Poisonous language does…

Chris Caldwell Sees Muslim Bogeymen. Again.

By Bruce B. Lawrence

…governments that have created Islam councils, whether in France, Britain, Germany, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, or Belgium. These councils, still in their infancy, have helped a new generation of Muslims feel that they can, and should, be both Muslim and European. The Islam councils attract, engage and sustain a robust Muslim leadership that argues within its ranks but also with the larger society that Islam and Europe must craft a shared des…

The Redemptive Power of Jewish Self-Hatred

By Gordon Haber

…ks “the language of self-help.” And Reitter emphasizes that both employed “freewheeling” logic. I would add they also put a lot of responsibility on Jewish shoulders. Why should the Jews have served as a “crucial example” for anybody? They had enough problems in interwar Germany. But Reitter’s goal, thankfully, is not to resurrect these idiosyncratic notions of Jewish self-hatred. Instead he wants to correct misconceptions about “terminological di…

Olympic Committee Opposes Memorial for Israeli Athletes Killed in Munich

By Jay Michaelson

…ity but also the US Senate, President Obama, the governments of Canada and Germany, and, most recently, Bob Costas in shouting a collective, outraged “WTF” at the International Olympic Committee for refusing to hold a minute of silence in memory of the eleven Israeli athletes murdered at the 1972 Munich Olympics forty years ago. I have yet to hear any rationale for the IOC’s intransigence on this point. Whatever one thinks of Israel, Palestine, an…

Electionpocalypse, Part I (Christianity)

By Sarah Posner

…en a man and woman, protect the sanctity of life, and defend our religious freedoms.” We heard from Chuck Colson—from the grave—as Timothy George, who insisted in a Christian Post opinion piece that, “Chuck’d be proud of Billy.” Would Chuck be proud of his successor, Eric Metaxas, who defended the “sanctity of life” by making fun of the liberals and government while peoples’ lives, homes, and livelihoods were destroyed in Sandy? On Monday, Metaxas…

From Confusion to Kardashian: Misreading the Middle East

By Haroon Moghul

…l, against the rest of the planet (a world map only underlines this). Even Germany, a historically strong supporter of Israel, chose to abstain instead of voting no, as it was expected to. Hence an undisputed Israeli military victory was also a diplomatic defeat. Writing for the London Review of Books, Adam Shatz explained Israel didn’t win the short war. (How Gazans saw it deserves consideration.) Britain and France have even mooted withdrawing…

A Long History of Blaming the Jews

By Gordon Haber

…n counter-narratives to Exodus began to appear, in which the Jews were not freed through divine agency but were expelled due to their “nastiness,” as Nirenberg puts it. Many such narratives feature a Moses figure, a rigid leader of a rebellious people; Josephus himself recounts a third-century story about an isolationist group that conquered Egypt, “attacking the temples and mutilating the divine images.” Greek and Roman scholars would treat these…
