Cornel West, Using His Powers for Good

By Edward J. Blum

…people; it is a “manipulative marketing tool” that dupes all Americans to buy into the agenda of the wealthy 1%. Smiley and West are seeking to appeal both to the down-and-out inner-city person of color who struggles to find a job and to white folks in rural Kentucky who shout about the evils of government spending at Tea Party rallies while riding around in their motorized wheelchairs purchased with Medicare money. Readers who may not want to re…

Easter: The Underdog Holiday

By Mary Valle

…hyped than Halloween and “the Holidays.” It doesn’t really demand that you buy gifts for anyone or send cards—unless you want to. For people with small children, it’s a chance to enjoy a holiday which has remained strictly for children in its childish ways. There are no embarrassing costumes or horrifying office parties. Adults with no children may not even celebrate at all. What does Easter even mean? Apparently the English term for the season h…

It’s Time To Ordain Women—Again

By Elizabeth Drescher

…that Paulist Press, your publisher, provided an opportunity for readers to buy copies for the US Catholic bishops. Do you expect that they’ll read the book? Phyllis Zagano (PZ): I think they will. My own bishop asked for a copy, as did two US cardinals. There is a huge groundswell of support on this issue. For example, the Cleveland-based group FutureChurch has been running a postcard campaign for a year or so, and through FutureChurch thousands o…

Zeroes and Sums: Is It Wrong to Praise Paul’s Positions?

By Peter Laarman

…m for sane positions on some matters could prompt less discerning folks to buy into the whole package. Nor am I asking us to imagine that because we all fall short of God’s glory we cannot make distinctions between the merely flawed (Anthony Weiner, say), the more deeply flawed (Paul), and the truly fallen (Hitler): those who actively pursue evil and who must accordingly be stopped cold. But really, are we incapable of even hearing Paul on the so…

Romney Shovels Walks to No Avail

By Joanna Brooks

…h his advisors proclaiming confidence in their deep pockets and ability to buy airtime, even though the campaign’s ground game is not as strong as it may seem. That ground-level weakness reflects the foundational flaw of the Romney campaign. Romney banked on the idea that conservative Christian voters would come around—with enough time, good will, and hard work. With just enough walk-shoveling. That was always a risky bet for a wonky Yankee Mormon…

Marriage Equality in WA Already Under Attack

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…one is ﬁghting for their right to never worry about ﬁnding enough money to buy a gift for a same-sex wedding. That vast money machine must work quickly, however, or there will be a lot of June marriages in the State of Washington. For the moment though, marriage equality supporters are glowing over the news that their state joins six others, and Washington, D.C. in recognizing same-sex couples. “No matter what the future holds, nothing will take t…

A Report from America’s “Sacrifice Zones”

By Chris Hedges

…in mind when writing? No. Joe and I never once asked ourselves who would buy it or if it would sell. We focused only on producing the very best work we could, a work we were proud of, a work that spoke to us and hopefully would speak to others. Are you hoping to just inform readers? Give them pleasure? Piss them off? I am hoping they will wake up to the corporate forces arrayed against them, forces that if left unchecked will doom the future o…

American Buddhism: Beyond the Search for Inner Peace

By Joshua Eaton

…h Occupy Faith and the Rolling Jubilee campaign, which is raising money to buy and abolish defaulted medical debts. After the talk I lingered for a while, talking with old professors and classmates until hardly anyone was left. I finally approached Ven. Bodhi to introduce myself—we’d been exchanging emails—and to thank him for his social justice work. He was leaving the next day but agreed to an interview. Below is our conversation about Buddhist…

Catholic Health System Releases New Rules for Contraception

By Frances Kissling

…o prescribe because they don’t have personal prescription pads. Go out and buy one for God’s sake! It will be interpreted as extreme. Tulsa Public Radio described it as a “clamp down on contraceptive prescriptions” when a week ago people were wringing their hands that doctors had been told they couldn’t prescribe at all. Orthodox Catholics, however, are likely to be outraged that the hospital is actually acknowledging the moral agency of doctors t…

Just Your Average Teenage Muslim (Shapeshifter) Girl From Jersey
