2 Possible Questions About Rod Dreher’s “Orthodoxy, Catholicism, & the State”

Last updated on: June 17, 2015 at 4:16 pm By Artur Rosman

I am thankful Rod Dreher took up my piece “Why Doesn’t Holy Mother Russia Remain Orthodox?” in his “Orthodoxy, Catholicism, and the State.” The following passages from Dreher’s post pick up on themes I thought about addressing in my original piece but left hanging instead: Well. I can agree with Rosman that the “Murray Project” — broadly speaking, the idea that one can be both a good Catholic and a good American — is dead, or at least on its last... Read more

Playing Mad Libs with Laudato Si’ & the Politics of Identity

Last updated on: June 17, 2015 at 1:16 pm By Artur Rosman

What if you took recent articles and replaced some words as you would in Mad Libs? Remember playing Mad Libs when you were a teenager? The blanks tended to spillover with health class lingo to generally hilarious results. I’m reminded of this immaturity as I scan the wasteland of responses to my interview with Catholic climate expert Anthony Annett on Laudato Si’. Half of the Catholics I know be like: I’m no expert on environmental issues, buuut . . .... Read more

He is a frequent contributor to Commonweal and has published a programmatic essay on an economy of inclusion in Radically Catholic in the Age of Francis.

Draft of Pope Francis’ /Laudato Si/ Encyclical Leaked Today

Last updated on: June 16, 2015 at 2:30 pm By Artur Rosman

I once made a joke of using Benedict XVI quotes as leaked pieces of the upcoming encyclical by Pope Francis. This time it’s no joke. As a perceptive reader who doesn’t know Italian notes, “Since Benedict and JP2 comprise 85% of the footnotes (that’s how good my Italian is), you weren’t far off.” Hermeneutic of continuity anyone? A draft was made available today by Repubblica.it. You can read it here, that is, if you know Italian. If you don’t, run... Read more

McGilchrist: Your Brain, You Didn’t Read the Instructions, You’re Using it Wrong

Last updated on: June 12, 2015 at 1:07 pm By Artur Rosman

Iain McGilchrist, the philosopher, neuroscientist, and literary critic keeps popping up everywhere. I’ve seen his book The Master and His Emissary pop up in the following places: Silence: A User’s Guide (Maggie Ross), Hegel and Religious Faith: Divided Brain, Atoning Spirit (Andrew Shanks), the interview I conducted with Kevin M. Johnson on silent contemplation, and tangentially in Michael Martin’s The Submerged Reality (which critiques “left-brain theologies”). Take a look at the following video for a summary of McGilchrist’s The Master... Read more

Bet You an Arm & a Leg You Haven’t Heard of Transability!

Last updated on: June 11, 2015 at 9:01 pm By Artur Rosman

Forget Caitlyn Jenner. The National Post reports about the next big trend in nominalism: When he cut off his right arm with a “very sharp power tool,” a man who now calls himself One Hand Jason let everyone believe it was an accident. But he had for months tried different means of cutting and crushing the limb that never quite felt like his own, training himself on first aid so he wouldn’t bleed to death, even practicing on animal parts...

Why Doesn’t Holy Mother Russia Remain Orthodox?

Last updated on: June 10, 2015 at 1:25 pm By Artur Rosman

This is an experiment in extending the #whyremaincatholic brush onto a wider canvas in order to get a bigger picture of the state of Catholicism in America. The thoroughgoing wisdom in some accounts of how to combat secularization is that conservative churches retain most of their members. They retain them, because a conservative theology supposedly demands more of their members. Since the cost of participation is greater, the conventional wisdom goes . . . those who get in, stay in.... Read more
