By Lauri Lebo

…is taking advantage of this nation’s worst ever environmental disaster to promote his book. Black Gold espouses the baseless notion that oil is not fossil fuel after all. Rather, it’s a “bio-product of a continuing biochemical reaction below the earth’s surface that is brought to attainable depths by the centrifugal forces of the earth’s rotation.” “This (BP) well proves our theory,” says Smith. “It would be rather ironic if this was one of the l…

A Brief History of Olympic Flames

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…the heart of the excavated sanctuary of Olympia called the Altis, and they use a parabolic mirror to cultivate Olympic flame out of Greek sunlight. And then that fire is carried from its sacred Olympian source to the soon-to-be host city. This has been done in many different ways (perhaps the oddest being Montreal’s decision in 1976 to set up an electronic link and thus, merely by pushing a button in Greece, to kindle a fire in Canada). But who ca…

Louis C.K., Paige Patterson, and the White Male Forgiveness Charade

By Dianna Anderson

…e, would’ve been entirely aware of arguments against the theologies he espoused. He would’ve at least known of feminist arguments about abuse. And really, he wants us to believe his theology hasn’t grown or shifted in 54 years? It’s patently ridiculous on its face. But the truth is that they believe they can get away with it. Because we let them. We believe that the calling out of their misdeeds is punishment enough and that, by the time dust sett…

By Daniel Schultz

…l sweep away the elites in power and restore the rightful leaders” or “Because things have gotten so far off track, true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.” (Oddly, Hispanics are more likely than Whites to hold those views.) Their issue priorities are guns and immigration: They like the first, not the second. Skeptics and Rejecters are also much who you would expect them to be: Educated, liberal, loosely…

He suggested that immigration reform wasn’t an appropriate issue for the bishop to elevate despite the church’s long-time focus on the issue and consistent lobbying for pro-immigrant policies. “It’s not clear to me that the principles behind a Catholic approach to immigration reform have been well articulated at all,” he said, apparen…

Although this was only the first part of a two-part episode, we have already been given hints that…

Fr. John Dear, Dismissed from Jesuits: “It Is So Strange to Be Hated by So Many Church Leaders”

By Megan Sweas

…st scandal is Christianity, which should be the epitome of nonviolence because Jesus was the epitome of nonviolence. I think Christians are the problem because they’ve rejected the nonviolence of Jesus. I hope everyone will not throw out Jesus just because so many priests support war and injustice. In fact, what I am choosing to do is to stay very involved and try to help change the whole church for the sake of Jesus. I know that many young people…
