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? Oh, right, there’s goddamn Nazis everywhere: Matt Gaetz, a Republican congressman from Florida, gave the notorious troll, racist, and Holocaust denier Charles C. Johnson an invite to attend Pres. Trump’s first State of the Union address last week. Paul Nehlen…

What’s So Scary About the Inclusion of ‘God’ in the Russian Constitution?

By Katherine Kelaidis

…God in its constitution, many more liberal states absolutely do, including Germany, Canada, Ireland, Sweden, and Switzerland. In these instances, the constitutional reference to God is frequently a nod to a country’s shared religious heritage and does little to undermine the principles of secularism and pluralism upon which modern liberal democracy is built. Arguably, such references in fact enforce these values, by offering the seal of divine imp…

And the Violent Bear It Away? Disciplined Nonviolence and the Coming Election Emergency

By Peter Laarman

…f racist domination following the official overthrow of slavery: the Black Codes, convict leasing, widespread lynching and white terrorism, Jim Crow segregation, and ostensibly “race neutral” 20th century approaches to policing and mass incarceration that are, in fact, saturated with anti-Black racism from top to bottom. Every decent person understands how today’s challenges to every expression of white supremacy mark a long-delayed and long-suppr…

Can White Jews Still Be White if They’re Reviled By White Supremacists?

By SJ Crasnow

…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. According to Erbelding, as anti-Jewish pogroms took place in Eastern Europe, U.S. policy makers approved immigration laws that included a last-minute decision by the Senate not to provide protection for those fleeing religious and political persecution. Immigration laws were likewise enacted to limit and exclu…

The Vatican ‘Doubts’ Same-Sex Love, But More Doubt The Vatican

By Mary E. Hunt

…Germans’ good will. Georg Bätzing, president of the Bishops’ Conference in Germany, understated that there are “no easy answers” on these questions, noting that the document reflects current official teaching. True enough. What it does not reflect is current practice. In Catholicism, practice always comes first, then often a heavy-handed condemnation, then documents trickle out that confirm what is already the case. Of course this can take decades…

By Mary E. Hunt

…nce that Rome might notice. Priests and bishops in many countries, notably Germany, Belgium, and Austria, have voiced their support for LGBTQ+ people against what former Irish president Mary McAleese called a decision that is “gratuitously cruel in the extreme.” Theologians in large numbers have expressed their disdain. Protestant pastors have stepped forth and welcomed same-sex couples to their churches, offering blessings. I bet many would offer…

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…

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…

Does Violence Always Win?: Learning From René Girard (1923-2015)

By Martha J. Reineke

…e Sigmund Freud and René Girard.” Newspaper obituaries in France, Britain, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Spain acknowledged as much; and, in the country of Girard’s birth, French president François Hollande eulogized Girard as a “passionate intellectual” whose ideas now “mark the history of thought.” Girard’s profound impact on multiple fields is such that, upon his election to the Académie Française in 2005, he was hailed as “The Darwin of the Hum…
