I would argue that a genuine pro-lifer has no home in either party, but can certainly work for a pro-life end in any party. Read more

there's a hint of western supremacy in these arguments, because the same people who dread any flirtation with the rituals of Eastern religion are usually quite happy to teach Greek and Roman mythology. Read more

misogyny and modesty porn

Last updated on: November 30, 2016 at 1:44 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

A group calling itself “Traditional Roman Catholic” recently posted, on Facebook, a picture of an attractive plus-size model in cardigan and trousers, followed by a lengthy denunciation of her look, and what it implies about “our grossly feminized society” and “the onslaught of immodest fashions which have sadly been marketed through the once respectful fashion industry.” Here’s the link, if you want to start your day with a jolt of rage. A modest woman, according to Traditional Roman Catholic, is... Read more

advent, our season of eros and discontent

Last updated on: November 29, 2016 at 3:39 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

is “pro-life” supposed to refer only to abortion?

Last updated on: November 20, 2016 at 12:27 am By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

Was the term “pro-life” specifically coined to mean “anti-abortion,” without reference to other issues of life and justice? Many seem to think so, and argue that using the term in a consistent-life-ethic sense betrays both the goal of the movement, and the intention of the term (see this curious little piece from the EWTN library). “Oh, but terms change,” one could argue. Indeed, they do. And in this case, it might come as a surprise to some, to find... Read more

Last updated on: November 16, 2016 at 3:24 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

Our literary trend is now dystopian, and the fact that so many teen and YA novels deal with dystopian scenarios indicates that the younger generation has achieved a political cynicism still lacking in many of their elders. I find this hopeful, actually. Read more

I regret to say, it is not as exciting as you think. We never were approached by shadowy figures bribing us to subvert the faith. There is no secret lair where we meet to cackle maniacally over our sinister plots. All we did was read church documents, and talk to people who had experienced injustice and marginalization, and pay attention to the example of luminaries like Dorothy Day Read more
