He says that pastors have shown a lack of understanding about married life because they are single, and that the married clergy of the eastern sects of Catholicism do a better job of it! In the replies given to the worldwide consultation, it b…

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s Legacy of Eugenics and Racism Can’t Be Ignored

By John P. Slattery

…the largest collection to date of Teilhard’s writings on the relationship between forced human perfection and cosmic theology, I have no doubt that there is more to be found.

The Best-Laid Plans of Mice and Humans

By Amina Wadud

…dy had printed out, has been changed. Instead of arriving in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at around 9:30 p.m., I arrive around 7:00 p.m. The travel agent said this change was required from the Saudi end; thus my flight into Jeddah from Paris had to be changed. But in order to make this two-hour adjustment, I lost my direct flight to Paris. The difference is, instead of leaving in the evening on Sunday, my departure time is 8:45 a.m. Not such a big deal or…

By Mohamad Elmasry

…n confronting extreme interpretations of Islam, he would start by rebuking Saudi Arabian extremism, which represents the ideological home for most Muslim extremists. On the contrary, Al-Sisi has embraced Saudi Arabia which, significantly, has helped finance Egypt’s return to authoritarianism.

This word can be taken either as a noun, “beginning,” or as a verb, “began.” If you read it as a noun, as the Greek and Latin translations did, then you take the bet as a preposition, “in,” and you get a simple declarative sentence familiar from the King James Version translation: “In the beginning God created th…

Falwell’s Fall Was Unrelated to the Anti-Science, Racism, and Patriarchy Trifecta that Built Liberty

By Rita Nakashima-Brock

…having a wisdom tooth pulled. They have sought to deny women our religious freedom as moral agents of our own lives and inflicted untold suffering on the colleagues, friends, and families of assassinated doctors and clinic workers, on their harassed patients, and on women without the resources to travel to states or countries that offer abortion services. The trifecta that Weyrich, Falwell, and their allies bet on appears headed toward major stumb…
