By Peter Montgomery

…als as the creation of “thought police” in the name of “legal protection.” Irish Minister Aidan O’Riordan saw the same difficulties in view of the upcoming Irish referendum on marriage to be held in the Spring 2015. He blamed the ‘power of the religious institutions’ and committed himself to removing the ability of these institutions to ‘discriminate’ in their employment conditions. Ireland would be a ‘more productive workplace if LGBTI people cou…

By Cecilia Menjivar

…ew immigrants assimilate to US society as did the descendants of Italians, Irish, and Polish? A Country of Two Cultures? Samuel Huntington wrote that the most serious threat to US identity comes from the large and continued influx of immigrants from Latin America, because these immigrants will be unable to replicate the assimilation ‘success’ stories of immigrants of the past.

LGBTQ Group to March in St. Patty Parade… Good News, Right?

By Darnell Moore

…ibly LGBTQ. Imagine the backlash if LGBTQ pride organizers asked marchers to not carry along objects that celebrate ethnic or religious diversity. E.g. “We’d be happy to have you march in the pride parade, but you are forbidden from wearing or carrying any object with the word Irish, the color green, or a clover (even one with three leaves).” Maybe this little leap in the direction of constricted inclusion will encourage future organizers to heed…

Review: Jews in America: Anti-Semitism, Class Struggle, Secularism

By David Biale

…ependent, which recycled the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and generally promoted a vicious form of anti-Semitism. But Ford got his comeuppance when a Jewish labor lawyer in California sued him for libel; Ford collapsed in the face of this challenge, and issued an abject apology rather than taking the stand in his own defense. This incident deserved greater analysis, since it suggests the limits of anti-Semitism in the American context. Substant…

In order for their union to have the blessing of Shadia’s family, Jeff must convert to Islam; traditionally, Muslim women are prohibited from marrying non-Muslim men. Yet we find that our All-American Muslims are not the only ones concerned with tradition. As is typical in depictions of Irish-Americans in TV-land, tradition plays a central role in Jeff’s fam…

By Mary E. Hunt

…dy to find a ‘sacramental’ to do so.” Another wonderful reply came from an Irish priest, Brian D’Arcy, who put it well on an RTE radio show: “If I can bless a submarine going to war, I can bless same sex couples.” While many Catholics, myself included, recoil at blessing anything related to war, the man makes a good point. The Association of Catholic Priests in Ireland minced no words: “The ACP believes that the CDF document is unfortunate and unw…

Bishops’ Attempt to Deny Communion to Biden Will Backfire Even More Spectacularly Than Opposition to Same-Sex Marriage

By Mary E. Hunt

…all of this is that today’s Roman Catholic Church isn’t John F. Kennedy’s Irish Catholicism of sixty years ago. It’s the far more variegated, differentiated community that James Joyce labeled “Here comes everybody” in Finnegan’s Wake. Moreover, its institutional form has proved itself to be scandal-ridden, elitist, secretive, by turns criminal, and, in recent decades, the reason former Catholics number as many as current Catholics in the US. For…

Arrest the Pope: New Atheist Effort to Seek Justice in Sexual Abuse Crisis Should Be Applauded

By Frances Kissling

…edict was immune from suit because the Pope was “head of a foreign state.” Irish barrister Simon Kennedy, who represented sexual abuse victims in that country, was unable to charge the papal nuncio in that country in a sex abuse case he brought on the same grounds. Things may be quite different in the International Criminal Court (ICC) where charges can be brought against both states and de facto authorities. The ICC has already indicted one head…

Religion, Morality, and the Death of the American Soap Opera

By Katy E. Shrout

…undermining the war morale, distracting women with addictive stories that promoted destructive values. To label something a “soap opera” today still implies that what you are describing involves immature behavior, improbable plot twists, and/or unseemly sexual liaisons. Soap opera fans themselves have consistently been characterized as immature, psychologically weak, or missing something crucial in their lives. As a result, those who watch soaps…
