“Aspergers Me, Domine”: neurodivergents in religious spaces

Last updated on: April 4, 2023 at 12:07 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

For some reason, some people found it shocking—perhaps even scandalous—that I would point out the fact that a significant amount of people who attend the Tridentine Latin Mass in the US find themselves somewhere on the Spectrum. I’m not exactly sure how this assertion constitutes breaking news…especially for those who have attended a TLM. It shouldn’t be a secret the people on the Spectrum, especially those with traits associated with Asperger’s Syndrome, have an affinity for the rigid, predictable rubrics of... Read more

James Baldwin: Repressed Prophet

Last updated on: March 31, 2023 at 3:35 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

James Baldwin is a genius. His writing has tremendously shaped the way I look at race relations, ethnic identity, and the psychological and existential trajectory of American Culture. In particular, his essay Nothing Personal (an essential on the Cracks in PoMo Reading List) highlights the way that white Anglos, driven by their “Enlightened” principles, left their native lands for the Americas, left behind their “antiquated” ethnic, spiritual, communal, and moral roots to forge new atomized identities, aspiring to live lives...

What exactly does one do with white people?

Last updated on: March 16, 2023 at 8:57 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

on ‘You People’ and the banality of assimilated whites The most divisive force in America today is, ironically, precisely the “new class” of liberal and radical academics, media personnel, and social service professionals that thinks itself so moral. Perhaps out of guilt feelings—or for whatever reason—they have projected all guilt for “white racism” onto others. And, without undergoing any of the costs themselves, they take sides or plainly appear to take sides in the very sharp competition between lower-class people,... Read more

Benedict: The Postmodern Pope

Last updated on: January 24, 2023 at 4:30 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

0 Comments

After long await, here are some excerpts from my essay on Benedict, the postmodern Pope: For me, Benedict’s affect, style of thinking, and overall aesthetic was emblematic of Catholicism’s unique cultural vision. With his esteem for the arts, his affinity for engaging with intellectuals whom most would deem far from the Church’s tradition, and his campy flare, he was perhaps—despite his measured critiques of it—the pontiff most in tune with and capable of speaking to the postmodern tides that Western...

Kanye’s Concerning Compromise

Last updated on: October 26, 2022 at 2:09 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

on prophecy, subsidiarity, and the errors of expediency for its own sake I wrote in my article on the 20th anniversary of Lauryn Hill’s MTV Unplugged 2.0 album that Kanye West is (after Hill) the closest we’re going to get to a John the Baptist-type prophet today. What inhibits him from fully achieving prophet status is his overly friendly and naive attitude toward the Herod’s of our day: corrupt corporate and political elites. West indeed has prophetic proclivities: he is... Read more

Who gets/has to be white?: On Rick Caruso, the “latinidad” of Italians, and the feast of St. Gerard in Newark

Last updated on: October 19, 2022 at 2:41 am By Stephen G. Adubato

Just days after publishing an article about ethnic identity and racial identity categories, I see this news story. LA mayoral candidate Rick Caruso, an American of Italian descent, made waves for claiming not to be “white.” Moderating the debate on Tuesday night, the Telemundo journalist Dunia Elvir said: “And this question goes for the both of you. The next mayor of Los Angeles will be either an African American woman or a white man.” “I’m Italian,” Caruso said. “Italian American,”... Read more

Bad Bunny’s Big Gay Kiss: The Banality of Public Spectacles under Liquid Modernity

Last updated on: September 22, 2022 at 12:52 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

Reactions to Bad Bunny’s same sex kiss on the 39th annual MTV Video Music Awards have been painstakingly predictable, as if being read off of a script. From those celebrating his bold statement of self-acceptance and his disavowal of machismo and homophobia, to those highlighting his white-passing and cis-male privilege and those condemning the act as “queerbaiting,” most would not be alarmed were they to find out that the proliferation of news headlines and social media posts were generated by...

Notes on Trads: the latest in the trad Catholic wars

Last updated on: September 17, 2022 at 8:08 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

The latest at Trad parishes *I’m noticing that although some attend the TLM because they find the liturgy to be spiritually transformative, for most it appears to be mainly a form of reactionary performance art or tribal signaling. Most seem to be reacting to something they don’t like which they think the Novus Ordo Mass represents: something they don’t like about the Pope, the Synodal Path, the “masonic infiltration” at Vatican II, etc. *At the parishes I’ve attended (which is...
