Liberation Theology is Alive and Well

By Mary E. Hunt

…a, part of the Amazon region which occupies a space four times the size of Germany, with Greece tossed in for good measure. More than two thousand indigenous people came for the Forum, some travelling a week on the Amazon. Apparently, CNN does not do mosquito nets or endangered rainforests, preferring the picturesque ski runs of Davos for winter holidays. So, news on this remarkable gathering was scarce. You read it first here. Bodies Don’t Lie Th…

The King of Irony

By Laury Silvers

…nation in films of racist hate rallies, whether in anti-Semitic rallies in Germany in the 1930s, in Alabama in the 1960s, or in Yorba Linda this February. What kind of “cooperation” does King want? In reporting instances of planned violence, Muslims have been not just cooperative, but proactive. The Nigerian would-be airplane bomber was reported by his own father. The attempted Times Square bomber was first identified by a Muslim street vendor. Wo…

The Devil’s Music: How Christians Inspired, Condemned, and Embraced Rock ‘n’ Roll

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…

Trump Pulls a Huckabee on Religion

By Sarah Posner

…His suggestions that Americans should arm themselves (or that Jews in Nazi Germany could have saved themselves from the Holocaust by being armed with guns) conflict with Adventism’s non-violence. And his opposition to a Muslim becoming president, while in agreement with almost two-thirds of Iowa Republicans, is at odds with the Adventist dedication to religious freedom (not to mention the Constitution). It would seem that evangelicals might be sur…

God Makes an Independent Film

By Eric Zassenhaus

…nors, with the promise of millions more to come from a mysterious donor in Germany. Their task: to produce a visionary film for the spectator on high—as Gazowsky constantly reminds us—“an audience of One.” And so the members of Christian WYSIWYG Productions set off, a ragtag troupe of family members, church members, and volunteer actors plucked from Craigslist, along with a couple of professional technicians and a largely invisible independent fil…

Teilhard’s Legacy Can’t Be Reduced to Racism: A Response to John Slattery

By Joshua Canoza

…faith in the “inevitability of human progress” despite the horrors of Nazi Germany. Once again, this is obvious in the excised portion of the source text, “Man,” he asserted, “to become fully man, must have tried everything . . .” Of course, he [Teilhard] added as a corollary, since the human species was still so young and still prone to fall into the dark from which it came, the persistence of such evil was to be expected. But since, unlike the l…

The Religious Lives of Soldiers

By Jonathan Ebel

…campaign. The revival coincided with America’s declaration of war against Germany and Sunday, not one to miss an opportunity, turned up his anti-German rhetoric to extreme levels, even for him. It struck me as I was reading excerpts from Sunday’s sermons and articles in the New York Times that we know a great deal about Sunday’s thoughts and the thoughts of clergymen and editorial boards of denominational periodicals, but that little was written…

Sex Work: In Bed with the Religious Right

By Dagmar Herzog

…my prior book, Sex after Fascism: Memory and Morality in Twentieth-Century Germany (2005), which offered a major revision of our assumptions about the Third Reich’s sexual politics and its aftermath, including close attention to the complicity of the Christian churches under Nazism. In his book American Fascists, Chris Hedges had drawn direct parallels between the religious right in the United States and the Nazis, but I thought that was not the p…

Earth to Planet Catholic: Francis Papacy is no Picnic

By Mary E. Hunt

…clusive leadership. Within a year, no one would miss the bishops. Pivot to Germany where Cardinal Walter Brandmüller proclaimed that those who promote women’s ordination are heretics. German Archbishop Georg Ganswein assured the faithful that women would never be ordained during his lifetime, or, even “after his death.” Who knew that the gentleman also known as “Gorgeous George” had such amazing ability to foretell the future? No wonder he manages…

MRI Jesus, Bush’s Reading List, Ahmadinejad & the Pope…

By Michael J. Altman

…ld a ban on religious Christmas carols in a New Jersey school district. In Germany, a group of Catholics want to take the Santa out of Christmas. They want to replace the consumerist Claus with the selfless St. Nicholas. Druidry is now recognized as a religion by Great Britain. That only took a few thousand years. A priest at St. Vincent College in Pennsylvania was fired when pornography was discovered on his computer. The story takes an interesti…
