Creativity in Quarantine: Photographing Solitude, Memory, Nostalgia

Last updated on: June 26, 2020 at 5:33 pm By Guest Contributor

This is the second article in a three part series by NYC-based photographer Felicia DiSalvo. Click here to read parts 1 and 3. The fact that I spend a lot of time by myself has surprisingly aided me in my journey as a photographer. It comes with being an introvert. But I’ve also come to value how this allows me to be more contemplative. I enjoy sitting awake until 3-5 am at night and looking through quotes, artwork, and photos... Read more

“I want to see everything”: Photography and Human Experience

Last updated on: June 25, 2020 at 2:22 am By Guest Contributor

This is the first article in a three part series by NYC-based photographer Felicia DiSalvo. Click here to read parts 2 and 3. Beyond clicking the shutter button of a camera, the real mission of my photography is to see. When I walk outside, I want to see the precise spot where the sun is shining. I want to watch the world around me evaporate into sparkles, shadows, and truth. Every single detail of our physical world has a story... Read more

The Bright Side of Gender Theory

Last updated on: June 17, 2020 at 2:59 am By Stephen G. Adubato

Gender theory is in part a response to the oppressiveness of socially constructed gender norms. A young boy who likes dancing and cooking, or a young girl who likes sports and comic books, should not be made to feel that they aren’t masculine or feminine enough. Forcing people away from their interests because it doesn’t fit into a narrowly conceived notion of what is normal is extremely damaging psychologically. This casts a light on the need to temper certain exaggerated,... Read more

FX’s Pose, Gender, and the Endless Consumption of Authenticity

Last updated on: June 11, 2020 at 6:35 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

Considering the greater anthropological and metaphysical issues at stake here, it’s important to examine the relativistic notion of freedom on which gender theory depends. To do so, I’d like to point to the examples put forth in the popular FX series Pose. The show features characters (and actors) who have transitioned, and who likely do experience Gender Dysphoria. Though it appears to promote respect and tolerance for people with GD, the show does much more than this. It presents a world... Read more

Gender Theory and the Vatican: 1 Year Later

Last updated on: June 11, 2020 at 6:36 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

I’ve been trying to keep up with the diverse array of responses to the release of “Man and Woman He Created Them,” the Vatican’s new document addressing gender theory and education. Predictably, liberal Catholic news outlets have criticized its lack of sensitivity to the trans community and conservative ones have praised its boldness in affirming traditional doctrine. Outside of the world of Catholic media, several friends and acquaintances have expressed a sense of confusion. With their commitments to embracing both... Read more

A Politics of the Person: Going Beyond the Duopoly with the American Solidarity Party

Last updated on: June 5, 2020 at 10:45 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

In his recent book Resisting Throwaway Culture, bioethicist and moral theologian Charles Camosy expressed his concern about our culture’s increasing disconnectedness from “the physical, the embodied, the real, and especially from authentic encounters with ‘the other.’” This ethos has heavily shaped our nation’s political outlook. “Far from being motivated by a positive vision of the good, the body politic in the United States is motivated by fear and hatred of people (tribes) assumed to be bad or dangerous…In the 1990’s...

Friendship that Surpasses Death: In Memory of Aris Aroutiounian

Last updated on: May 19, 2020 at 6:29 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

The news of my friend Aris’ death immediately brought the memory of our last encounter to the forefront of my mind. I was sitting at the dinner table with him and his wife in their Upper West Side apartment, overlooking the George Washington Bridge and the bottom tip of the Bronx. It was two days before Christmas, and the conversation focused on my plans for the next semester. I told Aris that I was considering moving away from the area... Read more

Viva San Rocco!: Living Social Distance with the Saints

Last updated on: April 17, 2020 at 3:52 am By Guest Contributor

By Guest Contributor Ian Schaefer It was a steamy August day in New York when I first saw the statue of St. Rocco. The rain fell in a hazy mist that soaked through everything and added to the mystical feel of the encounter. The statue was wrapped in plastic to protect him from the rain. Around his shoulders was draped a red ribbon with dozens of twenty-dollar bills pinned to it. I was probably fourteen- or fifteen-years-old at the time... Read more

Teaching in the Midst of Crisis

Last updated on: April 7, 2020 at 9:36 pm By Stephen G. Adubato

My latest on being a virtual teacher at Millennial Journal: The pope explained: “Teachers are the first ones who must remain open to reality-with minds still open to learning! For if a teacher is not open to learning, he or she is not a good teacher and isn’t even interesting; young people understand that, they have a ‘nose’ for it, and they are attracted by professors whose thoughts are open, ‘unfinished’, who are seeking something ‘more’, and thus they infect...

When Quarantined, Give Your Heart Generously: A Conversation with Paddy Gilger SJ

In addition to working as contributing editor for culture at America Magazine, he is pursuing a PhD in Sociology at the New School for Social Research. Fr.
