Review of The Wineskins: Shut Me Up Sundance. Songs for Now and Then

Last updated on: July 21, 2018 at 11:59 pm   By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

In Our Outrage Over Trump and Putin, Don’t Forget Immigrant Families

Last updated on: July 17, 2018 at 1:03 pm   By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

Let’s not forget that the reason we decided to resist Trump in the first place is not that he is anti-American or a traitor, but that he represents what have always been the worst things about us: our racism, nationalism, worship of violence, toxic masculinity, and acceptance of rape culture. Read more

Catholic Men Explain Me to Me

Last updated on: July 12, 2018 at 7:26 pm   By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

One serious problem is that religious men feel divinely entitled to have a privileged position in regards to the truth, even the truth about female persons and our bodies. Read more

The Pro-Life Movement Has Lost

Last updated on: July 12, 2018 at 12:23 am   By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

This is why the movement has lost: it no longer has a moral platform to stand on, no longer has any semblance of a claim to care genuinely for all lives, for women as well as babies, for the born as well as the unborn. Read more

SCOTUS Pick Kavanaugh Argued a Sitting President Shouldn’t Be Indicted, Will Respect Abortion Precedent

Last updated on: July 9, 2018 at 10:28 pm   By guest writer

Two years ago, as the November presidential elections loomed large, conservatives and pro-lifers were breathlessly assuring us all that it was necessary to hold our noses and vote GOP for the sake of those magical supreme court picks, and the promise of making abortion disappear once and for all.   In spite of legal experts’ assurance that simply overturning Roe is not the way these things work, and in spite of the fact that Roe was decided on with a... Read more

An Independence Day Reminder: We Are Not Free

Last updated on: July 7, 2018 at 11:50 pm   By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

It feels like surrealism to be celebrating freedom in America, particularly.  If I have any freedom, it's a freedom that is only possibly because of chance, and because of privilege. And within narrow parameters. Read more

Whatever Happened to Parental Rights? Alfie Evans and Immigrant Children

Last updated on: June 24, 2018 at 11:37 pm   By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

What Does the Gospel Teach Us About Property and Illegal Immigration?

Last updated on: June 22, 2018 at 12:17 pm   By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

There's very little sacrifice asked of us to welcome the stranger. We live in a nation of vast wealth and resources, even if we continue to squander them senselessly. Good stewardship of our wealth - as well as penance for having stolen it from others - would entail using it to give to others the bare essentials they need. Read more
