A Religion is Plausible if it Tells You What to Do With Your Genitals

Last updated on: July 14, 2015 at 4:15 pm By Artur Rosman

Facebook blocked me from promoting my St. Paul talking shit piece yesterday because they think biblical religion is too vulgar. I thought I’d take it down a notch today with a post on theology and genitalia. There are breakthrough moments on two hour commutes home where you either find something that either keeps you from attempting a nap behind the wheel, or, otherwise you don’t end up writing blog entries. I’ve been listening to a four part series given by... Read more

St. Paul & Pope Francis Say SHIT to Their Congregations

Last updated on: July 13, 2015 at 12:48 am By Artur Rosman

Pope Francis has been talking crap about capitalism again. According to The Guardian, the pontiff reached for some pungent words, reminiscent of what Keith Michael Estrada wrote in his guest post several weeks ago: In one of the longest, most passionate and sweeping speeches of his pontificate, the Argentine-born pope used his visit to Bolivia to ask forgiveness for the sins committed by the Roman Catholic church in its treatment of native Americans during what he called the “so-called conquest...

10 Mind-Bending Theology and Philosophy Books for This Summer

Last updated on: July 12, 2015 at 7:20 pm By Artur Rosman

Maybe it doesn’t show from this blog, given how many TOP10 lists I’ve written, that I didn’t really start reading until my junior year in high school. Reading T.S. Eliot’s poetry, Dante, and A Canticle for Liebowitz is probably what did it in the end. Once you start on those books there’s no going back. I suppose I’ve always been playing catchup ever since. As in other areas of life I don’t seem to ever catch up. And so it... Read more

Chesterton: Capitalism Killed the Family

Last updated on: July 9, 2015 at 1:20 pm By Artur Rosman

You, no doubt, have heard it said (totally out of context) by Chesterton: Too much capitalism does not mean too many capitalists, but too few capitalists. But he also said in “Three Foes of the Family” (442-445): It cannot be too often repeated that what destroyed the Family in the modern world was Capitalism. No doubt it might have been Communism, if Communism had ever had a chance, outside that semi-Mongolian wilderness where it actually flourishes. But, so far as... Read more

NO JOKE: Pope Francis to be Tried by Re-Established Sanhedrin!

Last updated on: July 8, 2015 at 11:35 am By Artur Rosman

I found the weirdest piece of news on my day off from my new temp job. It’s ridiculous enough to write a post on it: A re-established and self declared Israeli Sanhedrin, the religious High Court composed of 71 sages, has declared that it is putting Pope Francis on trial unless he retracts his statement that the Jews have no right to the land of Israel or to Jerusalem. In February 2013, the Vatican officially recognized the “State of Palestine”... Read more

5 Leads for Celebrating Dependence Day (An Alternative Holiday)

Last updated on: July 4, 2015 at 1:27 pm By Artur Rosman

Independence Day is the quintessential holiday for lovers of liberty. But what if negative liberty is not really your thing? Some time ago reading atheist Julia Kristeva on John Paul II got me thinking about an alternative holiday: Dependence Day. Then Holly Taylor Coolman’s reading of the treasury of merit reminded me of it. And so, if you’re Catholic, and you feel like the news cycle has really kicked your butt, consider reading the following posts for ideas on celebrating... Read more

Is Christianity Secularization’s Best Hope?

Last updated on: July 2, 2015 at 1:29 pm By Artur Rosman

Savage Memory is an equally disturbing and humanizing documentary portrait of Bronislaw Malinowski, the Polish pioneer of modern anthropology. You might know Malinowski from used bookstore blushing perusals of titillating titles such as The Sexual Life of Savages and Magic, Science, and Religion. They are the intellectual’s equivalent of looking at dirty mags at the gas station–not that intellectuals aren’t ever caught doing the latter. The documentary, directed by Malinowski’s grandson, mainly focuses upon the family fallout of the Great... Read more
