Amanda Palmer nails what’s wrong with Sinead O’Conner’s comments on Miley Cyrus

Last updated on: October 8, 2013 at 12:36 pm By Phil Fox Rose

Sinead O'Conner "open letter" to Miley Cyrus bothered me with its assertion that the world is a dark dangerous place where women should hide their sexuality. The great Amanda Palmer puts words to my unease and as a currently-relevant female musician and a brilliant articulate pro-sex feminist, has a right and a standing that I could never have on the subject.

“Never has the use of violence brought peace in its wake” — Pope Francis Calls for Day of Fasting

Last updated on: January 15, 2015 at 8:33 am By Phil Fox Rose

There is no simple solution for the situation in Syria.

(Lots of friends have shared this helpful overview of the situation from the Washington Post.) But does the absence... Read more

Pope Francis: “Who am I to judge” gay people? “Women in the Church are more important than bishops.”

Last updated on: January 15, 2015 at 8:39 am By Phil Fox Rose

Last week, Archbishop Chaput said "right wing" Catholics weren't happy Pope Francis hadn't talked about the hot-button issues yet. I think now they probably wish he'd kept quiet. Is it a 180? No, but a reversal of not just tone but also emphasis, away from attacking those in disagreement over dogma and towards holding up universal Christian values, will restore a culture in which conversation can occur, in which people of faith can discuss what's essential and what is not. In the long run, this may lead to substantial change. Read more

Will Pope Francis be a reforming pope?

Last updated on: July 19, 2013 at 9:32 pm By Phil Fox Rose

In light of Pope Francis' similarity in demeanor to Pope John XXIII, his admiration for the gentle, plainspoken pastoral leader, and his quick sainting of the Vatican II architect, you can't help wondering, as the new book Francis: Man of Prayer asks: will Pope Francis be a reforming pope? Will he, like John XXIII, instigate changes that will alter the course of the global church profoundly and extend beyond his own papacy? Read more
