The Plot to Turn the Synod into a “Plot”

By Patricia Miller

…gives the pontiff latitude over the composition of the synod in Articles IX and X: In choosing those who are to represent the episcopal Conferences of one or a number of nations and the religious institutes in the Synod of Bishops, great attention should be paid not just to the general knowledge and wisdom of individuals, but also to their theoretical and practical knowledge of the matter which the Synod is to take up. The Supreme Pontiff may, if…

A Monumentally Different Kirk Cameron

By Julie Ingersoll

…old Cameron. With a new film Monumental about to be released, there is a new, more extreme Cameron who is increasingly connected to Christian Reconstruction and dominion theology. When evangelicals go to the theaters next week to see the star of the popular Christian films mentioned above, what they’ll get is the “providential history” of RJ Rushdoony and David Barton. In fact, during a recent interview, Cameron, once the Christian pop-culture e…

Country Trumpkins

By Daniel Schultz

…f responsibility shown by “the darks.” As well, there are people who have explicitly chosen not to live in The City. Expats from the city, some wealthy, some less so, settle in the country. Most of these folks carry that “responsibility” frame of reference, which they link to the downsides of living in a city: noise, crime, asshole neighbors. There are also many people who grew up in the country and have decided to remain, or return after a few ye…

‘Soul Murder’ in the American Workplace

By Peter Laarman

…e dinner parties with seemingly inexplicable rants over NAFTA, I could be expected to wax wroth over the big yawn with which the corporate media greeted the August employment numbers on Friday (the commonest headline: “Job Losses Smaller Than Expected”). And wax wroth I shall. Okay, corporatized newsies: You say that “only” 216,000 jobs disappeared last month? Folks, we’ve got 15 million people without jobs and in desperate shape out there. Toss i…

Catholic Voters No Longer Beholden to Bishops and Abortion

By Mary E. Hunt

…eing a range of issues as “life” issues, including war, poverty, racism, sexism, heterosexism, and environmental destruction. That Catholics will vote their consciences is not in question. That they have informed them on more than matters of abortion is a welcome change. Catholics of Tomorrow The first test of this new consensus will be in the presidential election itself. My crystal ball is out of commission, the polls can be wrong, and anything…

Capricology: Divine Madness

By Salman Hameed

…religious complex will get more interesting .It is not the religious complex that is complex, rather, the existence of Zoe and Tamara offer more interesting questions about what composes one’s personal “essence” In other words, what is it that makes you, you? And if a dog, in this case, Zoe’s dog, can recognize Zoe, what is it then that makes her dog be able to see her, even through all of the metal her essence is encased in? I know Dog is GOD spe…

Hillary Clinton Feeds the Trolls

By Michael Schulson

…tion is currency and anonymity is easy to come by. A version of this paradox exists in the realm of mass shootings, too. Acts of random violence often seem, in part, to function as dramatic plays for attention or celebrity status. The Orlando nightclub shooter reportedly checked his phone for news about the shooting during the actual event; the man who murdered hostages at the Hyper Cacher kosher grocery store in Paris last year filmed the attack…

#OccupyWallStreet and the Antichrist

By Sarah Posner

…d by liberals. More recently, conservatives marshaled media outlets like Fox News and the editorial pages of The Wall Street Journal to their cause. . . . [T]he left must realize that when progressives achieved success in the past, whether at organizing unions or fighting for equal rights, they seldom bet their future on politicians. They fashioned their own institutions — unions, women’s groups, community and immigrant centers and a witty, anti-…

A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Unemployed from being a Burden to
the Rich

By Lauri Lebo

…so sponsored another bill, which was recently signed into law. As Argento explains: He pushed a law through the Legislature that codifies something called “The Castle Doctrine” which, in essence, makes it easier to legally shoot people, the reasoning apparently being that it should be easier to legally shoot people. Actually, he explained that the bill would remove your legal obligation to retreat in the event of an attack so you wouldn’t have to…

How Much is a (Progressive) Pastor Worth?

By Preston Davis

…s of moving mountains. With that line, things got political real quick. Braxton hit the climax of the sermon, and, channeling the voices of Fosdick and Coffin, he urged his congregants to fight against immigration injustice, fight sexual bigotry, support civil unions and gay marriage, fight against Christian imperialism—and most provocatively, he urged those at Riverside to be on the side of promoting condom use to curb the spread of AIDS in Afric…
