By Jae Han

…see his appeal to interiority for what it is: obfuscating rhetoric in the service of public rehabilitation. Or, we can take another step back and ask, who is allowed to have self-contradictions? Who gives and possesses the privilege to have a redeemable private-self and an unimpeachable public-self? Who gets to be “individual” and who must always represent something beyond themselves?

Pope Francis’ Love Letter is an Opportunity Lost

By Mary E. Hunt

…’ about the many ways there are to live morally or you don’t. There is lip service to enculturation, the idea that general principles will be lived out variously in different cultures. But there is virtually no hint of how, for example, a same-sex couple in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA, might see itself as morally equivalent to its heterosexually coupled next door neighbors despite the fact that state and federal laws, tax codes, and neighborhood…

A community that experiences a sense of collective belo…

By Cody J. Sanders

…cremated without the family seeing the body of their loved one and with no service or ceremony. The death rates are so high in Italy that many funeral homes are becoming overwhelmed and unable to meet the demands for postmortem care. It’s a disturbance of our Good Death status quo to recognize that this will happen to many of those we love, to many of us, in the coming months―not to the ancient Greeks or the poor souls of 1918 or to people in far…

By Mary E. Hunt

…with Geraldine Ferraro, John Kerry, and other liberal Catholics in public service. In the fall of 2020, the current president of the USCCB, Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez, the first Latino head and a member of Opus Dei, set up a committee to consider how to respond to a Catholic president who doesn’t interfere with the law of the land when it comes to abortion. How do you solve a problem like Joe Biden? was their hit tune. They reprised it on…

By Kristin Kobes Du Mez

…rendering a conservative view of the news,” along with a conservative wire service and chain of newspapers. Rush Limbaugh stepped up to meet this need. Limbaugh rose to prominence after the 1987 repeal of the FCC’s Fairness Doctrine, which had mandated honest and equitable on-air treatment of controversial issues. The repeal ushered in the era of conservative talk radio, and Limbaugh’s bombastic style set the tone. The election of Bill Clinton in…

The Christian Right’s Main Moral Argument Against Abortion Rights Completely Ignores This Critical Issue: It’s Time to Raise It

By Elizabeth Freese

…ontrol of female sexuality and capacity for biological reproduction—all in service to patriarchal ends and capitalist wealth. It’s useful, then, to closely examine, through this labor lens, exactly what Douthat is saying when claiming that “life begins at conception,” following a willing sexual engagement. A “conception”—the joining of sperm and egg that sometimes results from the sexual act—is in many ways just that, a “concept,” somewhat analogo…

Good News: Religious Outreach Works On Vaccine Hesitancy. Bad News: We Need It.

By Daniel Schultz

…ou’re not sure you trust the vaccination, it’s hard to see it as an act of service to your neighbor. Another angle may prove more fruitful. As the study notes, Americans who say that religion is very or somewhat important in their lives are nearly four times [sic] as likely as those who say religion is not too important or not important at all in their lives to agree that God always rewards those who have faith with good health and will protect th…

By Welton Gaddy

…good news,” which moves me to share my faith lovingly and devote myself to service for others. Never am I comfortable religiously, conscientiously, or constitutionally when I am confronted by ugly laws aimed at diminishing the LGBTQ+ community—including Stella and young people like her—especially when routinely and disingenuously these laws are proposed in the name of religion. Of my religion. Twenty-eight states are currently considering anti-tra…

Battle of Antisemitism Definitions is Actually a Proxy War For Criticism of Israel

By Joshua Shanes

…d even celebration of violence and oppression if deemed necessary tools in service of Jewish power. For others, the lesson is universal, “never again to anyone,” with a particularly keen awareness that Jews are no different than anyone else and are therefore just as likely to abuse their power in the name of nationalism and “self-defense” as anyone else. This division has serious ramifications in terms of Jewish political choices. For the universa…
