When it Comes to Societal Dominion, the Details Matter: A Reporter’s Guide to the New Apostolic Reformation, Part II

By Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné

…ousness and proportion? The NAR doesn’t merit our considered attention because some of the leaders may sound nutty to those outside the movement, but because it’s driven by theocratic notions of total societal dominion, including the end of democracy as we’ve known it; and it deserves our attention because it’s developed the political capacities to make these ambitions a lot less of a pipe dream than they seemed even five years ago. This ought to…

The Moral Bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Asceticism

By Vlad Chituc

…o-ascetic utopia, where parking lots become parks and power plants become museums because we all use solar cells and drink Soylent and have our clothes shipped to us (efficiently) by drone. But who will exist on the fringes? Rhinehart’s vision would have us invert the “haves” and the “have-nots,” letting the rich live lightly by offloading the messy business of consuming and owning to the poor. The solution to our problems isn’t to wildly deregula…

A Third Reconstruction? Rev. William Barber Lifts the Trumpet

By Peter Laarman

…aving this terrible sin of slavery at its beginning, then getting a little better with Jim Crow and a little better with civil rights. It’s too easy to say, “No, things aren’t perfect, but we’ve come a long way.” We cannot dismantle what we have not named. The truth is that black people in North Carolina had more political power in 1868 than they did in 1968. We had more political power after the Voting Rights Act in 1965 than we do today after Sh…

Lesbian Nuns: Still Immodest After All These Years

By Susan Henking

…didn’t know those terms. Yet scholars seem to be more rigid about similar uses of language related to sex. I would also make use of recent literature on aspiring saints and feigned sanctity, clarifying what seems to be less than obvious, that religion and sexuality are not either/or categories, but both/and. I have seen your book in quite surprising places: in women’s bookstores and big chain stores, on syllabi in religious studies, history, and…

The End of Roe Comes Courtesy of the Catholic Church — But From ‘The Dorothy Day Abortion Fund’ to ‘St. Vincent de Paul Vasectomy Clinic,’ Here Are Some Ideas for Catholics Looking to Make a Difference

By Mary E. Hunt

…ic feminist initiatives. Catholics, including President Joe Biden, need to use the word ‘abortion.’ It is primarily a medical procedure, not an ethical or political dilemma. Try to say it along with ‘transplant’ and ‘tracheotomy’ to get used to the fact that, like those medical procedures, it is necessary and helpful in terms of human health, not for everyone, but for those in need. Reluctance to use the term ‘abortion’ is a signal of how successf…

Christian Nationalists and the Holy Gun Crusade

By Thomas Lecaque

…the legitimate transition of power on those lines—and it hasn’t softened. Between Jericho Marches and the repeated use of medieval and explicitly Christian calls to violence, America is already there. Once you decide that violence is the appropriate solution to maintain theocratic dominance, the guns you’ve made holy and stockpiled become a threat. This is radicalization. And for every “lone wolf” narrative that gets word-vomited out every time t…

Innocent Until Proven Muslim — A Q&A with Dr. Maha Hilal

By Habiba Farh

…ached multiple times by Cuban government officials asking us not to go because it would cause trouble [with the U.S.] for them. It was a delicate place, because we were a group of Americans and didn’t want to cause trouble for the Cuban government, because Guantánamo is a U.S. naval base on their land without their consent.[5] We camped on a big hill where you can kind of see the naval base and prison in the distance. We did all our solidarity act…

Our Failure To Understand Ferguson: A Cognitive Explanation

By Andrew Aghapour

…sons. For Malle, we should be aware of this, so that we can “make slightly better use of the psychological mechanisms that [we] have and inevitably will use.” One problem, two maxims In our social universe, cause and effect occur across multiple scales. Individuals participate in groups, those groups create social structures like laws and values, and those social structures in turn affect individuals. Fault, too, travels in circuits. The violent p…

Religious Leaders Accuse Conservatives of Misleading Public on Contraception

By Katie Toth

…5 percent of all intended pregnancies every year, preventing abortion. The other 95 percent of unintended pregnancies happen to those who don’t use contraception, or use it incorrectly, the Institute said….

Telling the World a ‘Big Story’: RD in Conversation with Karen Armstrong

By Laurie Patton

…eople have written to me to tell me that they would like to burn down my house, because of my championing of religion); and I have had a lot of abuse from people because I write positively about Islam; some Christians in Holland objected vociferously when I was awarded the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Medal; Catholics in the UK have hated my work. But I am writing about contentious issues that arouse a good deal of passion. If I did not att…
