Drilling Wakes the Humanoid Reptiles: Doctor Who Part V

By Gabriel Mckee

…t has been in the news and, as Gabriel also notes, drilling in the Gulf of Mexico has led to a disaster of devastating proportions. In this episode, drilling by humans to an unprecedented depth impinges on an underground dwelling of Silurians, a race of bipedal humanoid reptiles who once dominated planet Earth, long before the emergence of humankind. Although this was only the first part of a two-part episode, we have already been given hints that…

Goat Head Found in Brooklyn. Who Cares?

By Joseph Laycock

…. In 2011, a goat head turned up on the porch of a fraternity house in New Mexico. Unlike countless other fraternity pranks, this one drew police investigation and made national news. And last year, a goat head was delivered to Wrigley Field—either to intimidate Tom Rickets, owner of the Chicago Cubs, or to lift a curse. (According to one story, the Cubs were cursed in 1945 by a man who wasn’t allowed to bring his goat into the ballpark.) Much of…

All Candy, No Jesus: Halloween in America

By Mary Valle

…orado, relayed a story told to him by a Protestant pastor. This man was in Mexico doing missionary work and had, for many years, refused to participate in annual Day of the Dead celebrations. He complained about the money that the people spent on candles and lamented their engagement with what he saw as “evil.” However, the year his father died, he reluctantly went to the cemetery. As the night went on, the pastor “lit candles, told stories of his…

The End of Roe Comes Courtesy of the Catholic Church — But From ‘The Dorothy Day Abortion Fund’ to ‘St. Vincent de Paul Vasectomy Clinic,’ Here Are Some Ideas for Catholics Looking to Make a Difference

…es for RD). She currently teaches at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Her very creative recent course on “How to Talk about Abortion” included a wide variety of perspectives and religious traditions. A university-based program to train future activist scholars in solid, well-founded arguments for justice developed in the crucible of theory and praxis will be a distinctly Catholic contribution. The Sister Donna Quinn Clinic Esco…

The Best Books Media of 2008

By Jeff Sharlet

…elknap/Harvard University, put all of its considerable prestige behind its promotion—in 2007, that is, when Harvard published the book. The fact that the Times slipped the book onto its 2008 list is a clue that such lists aren’t so much a reflection of the best as of what the editors read and cared about that year. That can lead to a certain amount of cronyism—books by Times contributors are especially well represented on the Times’ list—which is…

Catholics Are Facing a Very Real Emergency

By Mary E. Hunt

…rom Pennsylvania were sent to a treatment center for sexual abusers in New Mexico and later assigned to parishes, hospitals, and other institutions in that locale. The mind boggles at the extent of the abuse pandemic and bishops’ chess moves. To expect priests who have lived under the current way of doing things to have anything helpful to preach or teach about it is naïve. Without serious remedial courses on administration, public safety, duty to…

Wojnarowicz’s Ant-Covered Jesus: Blasphemy or Religious Art?

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…icz edited is silent. Much of the imagery comes from Wojnarowicz’s time in Mexico in the 1980s, and shot on Super-8 film. Mexican Day of the Dead ceremonies mix with Aztec statues; scenes of professional wrestling merge with cockfights and bullfights; strong crucifixion imagery merges with street scenes from Mexican cities and towns; a man masturbates, mummified bodies appear to come alive, butchers carry cow carcasses, and through it all a sombre…

Meet Arizona’s Even More Anti-Immigrant Bill

By Lauri Lebo

…hildren to school for fear that police would pick them up and send them to Mexico. Many refused to talk to me at all, fearing something they said could get someone they know deported. A pastor kicked me off the grounds of a church that ran a day labor site, saying that lawyers prohibited anyone there speaking to the press. What made the incident so sad was that the church, Southside Presbyterian, birthed the Sanctuary Movement in the early 80s. It…

Why Did the Pope Choose Cuba?

By Michelle Gonzalez Maldonado

…peaking Latin America, where the majority of Catholics live. The choice of Mexico, with the second-largest Catholic population globally, seems obvious. What isn’t obvious is the decision to visit this island nation where Catholicism has struggled for the past 50 years. The answer is found in the verb tense. The Church in Cuba is no longer struggling. The papal trip is getting significant coverage by the media because it’s Cuba, as opposed to, say,…
