pope francis goes medieval on “bloodsucking bosses”

Last updated on: May 19, 2016 at 1:48 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

While repeatedly, throughout history, lust for wealth and power has driven humans to clever interpretations and evasions, even in the name of God, Christianity as such has always been intimately connected with a preferential option for the poor. Read more

Last updated on: May 18, 2016 at 6:32 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

another oil spill? we need to change our lives

Last updated on: May 18, 2016 at 1:35 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

Crews are working to clean up over 88,000 gallons of oil that spilled into the Gulf of Mexico as a result of a leak in a flow line connecting four wells owned and operated by Shell. The leak was discovered on May 13, when a two by thirteen mile sheen on the water was spotted by helicopter; since then has been contained, and drilling stopped at the site. By the 15th, the Coast Guard reported that over 50,000 gallons had... Read more

an alternative to the fantasy of domination: eco gardening as religious devotion

Last updated on: May 10, 2016 at 12:49 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

Travel into space: a Cartesian trip, a technological escape of the mind (real or artificial) from all this nasty muck. Meet extra-terrestrial intelligences. They will, invariably, be smarter than we are, as they are not rooted in the murky earth. Everything is clean, spare, white, futuristic. Read more

what will republican catholics do now?

Last updated on: May 4, 2016 at 1:02 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

If you are supporting Trump because of his stance on the economy, immigration, Muslims, or war, you are supporting him for reasons that run counter to Catholic thought, and at times, even counter to basic natural law ethics or humanitarian principles - and without even the slender excuse of a pro-life stance to justify it. If you defend this support because it is “practical,” you are jettisoning our Christian principles of defense of personal dignity even when it is not convenient. If you start contorting yourself to defend Trump now, we are watching you, and wondering what the hell you are thinking. Read more
