American Missionary Could Face Genocide Charges, But Brazil’s Indigenous Communities Have a Bigger Problem

By Amy Fallas

…ogies, alliances, and affiliates. Eventually, Panama, Brazil, Ecuador, and Mexico terminated their contracts with SIL. Steve Campbell’s trespassing on native lands might not have been done with malicious intent, but it still contributes to the precarious outlook for Brazil’s native communities. Given the recent history of foreign and local infiltration into indigenous lands and violence against their people, American missionaries can at the very l…

You Can Take The Boy Out of the Crack House: MyPillow CEO’s New Book Promo Has Deep Roots in American Christianity

By Daniel Schultz

…Lindell nattering away about nearly getting killed over a gambling debt in Mexico as though it were the highlight of his career. Is it a rags-to-riches saga? Is it a story of amazing grace redeeming even the most broken soul? Is it a brag of celebrity friendship with the likes of Jerry Falwell, Jr., despite humble origins? It is apparently all of this and much more. Which sounds awesome, yet there’s something that doesn’t add up about it, somethin…

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

By Dianna Anderson

…is C.K. is an acerbic comedian from Boston who grew up speaking Spanish in Mexico and has made a career out of being an awkward and offensive comedian. Despite their differences, these two men have arrived at starkly similar situations in the #MeToo era, with jobs lost, reputations destroyed, and a trail of hurting women in their wake. Both, too, are depending on cultural narratives of forgiveness to revive their careers and rescue a bit of their…

It’s the Catholic Bishops, Not Those Who Toppled Junipero Serra Statues, Who Have Failed the Test of History

By Jacqueline M. Hidalgo

…ndigenous peoples from colonial abuse. St. Junípero Serra came to colonial Mexico in 1749 and, upon arriving in California, helped to found mission San Diego in 1769. During that time, he believed himself to be fulfilling the will of God by bringing the gospel to peoples in California who had not yet heard it. Compared to some of his contemporaries, certainly, Serra fought to protect indigenous peoples. For instance, as Archbishop Gómez underscore…

The Revelation of Kurt Andersen: With ‘Evil Geniuses’ a Media Mandarin Discovers Plutocracy

By Peter Laarman

…illions of borrowers; they shipped two-thirds of our manufacturing jobs to Mexico and China and then stripped away the pension benefits of the workers who remained; they even managed to turn public schools and public prisons into profit centers for the investor class. And these days: big-time private equity operators wringing billions from pain and suffering in disease-ridden nursing homes? Kids dying outright while the old and desperate lose thei…

Red Pop and Freedom: How (And How Not) to Celebrate Juneteenth, a New Federal Holiday

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…in the 1830s: keeping and enshrining slavery in territory that belonged to Mexico.” Just as their forebears a half-century earlier, white Texans sought independence from a colonial power that placed restrictions on the expansion of slavery within its boundaries. Juneteenth is, in essence, the celebration of the end of slaveocracy in Texas. Although Juneteenth may be a novel to some, it should not be considered a blank slate to those new to the hol…

Anti-Vaxx Cardinal Burke, Just Off the Ventilator, is Becoming a Living Anti-Abortion Martyr

By Karen E. Park

…e as pregnancy and the “human sacrifice” of the native people who lived in Mexico before the arrival of Catholic Spaniards is cast as equivalent to the “human sacrifice” of abortion. Burke chose Our Lady of Guadalupe as the patron of his shrine for this reason—his opposition to abortion is a key to his identity, and to his response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Early on, in a May 2020 address to the Rome Life Forum, Burke said “It is never morally jus…

Goodbye ‘Roe,’ Hello Violence and an Out-of-Control Judiciary

By Andrew L. Seidel

…he shadow docket to overturn Roe v. Wade, reinstitute the cruel “Remain in Mexico” policy, kill the eviction moratorium, and gut public health orders under the guise of “religious freedom.” It did all of that without full briefing, oral argument, or transparency. This is not just about Roe. They’re coming for contraception, too, as we pointed out here months ago. But it’s even more than that, as the tumultuous shadow docket shows. The planet is on…

…is power to force the Biden administration to reinstate Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. (Another Institute lawyer, Jeff Mateer, was nominated to the federal bench but his virulently anti-LGBTQ remarks that surfaced were apparently even too much for Trump and McConnell, and his nomination was pulled. He’s back at the Institute as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer working on this case.) The change in the Court’s personnel should ne…

‘Manufactured’ Smear Campaign Attempts to Intimidate Church ‘Fasting From Whiteness’— It Didn’t Work

By Frederick Clarkson

…s from the Lakota, and from the United Church of the Philippines, and from Mexico and on and on. It’s truly been marvelous. Because of the history of systemic racism, many of the songs we’ve been singing are in the public domain, meaning that we’re not compensating artists of color fairly for their work the way we do with, say, hymns by Ruth Duck or Marty Haugen. In response to this reality, we’re following a practice started by the United Parish…
