“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.” (Luke 4:16-19) Are you prepared for the invasion of Zombie debt?

Known for elaborate and exciting production, the Metropolitan Opera in New York exudes drama. In a year that celebrates major anniversaries for both Verdi and Wagner, the MET launched new productions of classics like Rigoletto – in part reaching out to the Under-40 audience. With Rigoletto, they hit the jackpot, communicating the tragic injustice and complex layers of social sin and power Read more
Just wanted to alert our readers that I have written a response to America Magazine’s new article “Just Economics” by Dr. Stacie Beck. In which I conclude: If Beck is right, then the entire project of Catholic social thought is faulty. Her argument begins with a particular set of economic assumptions as foundational and not with the understanding of the human person. Read more
Guest Post by Christiana Z. Peppard, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Theology, Science and Ethics at Fordham University. Satire has been a salve for many Americans in the past week. Witness The Onion’s rapidly re-tweeted article,“Jesus, This Week,” which suggested that “Maybe next time we have a week, they can try not to pack it completely to the fucking brim with explosions, mutilations, death, Read more
Over the last month, as talk has returned to budgets and sequesters, deficits and debt, I found myself extremely frustrated every time I began to blog on economic justice – haven’t I already written extensively on the Ryan budget? (and the conversation hasn’t changed). It feels as if we are stuck in the movie Groundhog Day, repeating the same day over and over – Read more
Guest Blog By Hoon Choi, Assistant Professor of Theology & Religious Studies, St John’s University (NY) Bodily experiences are unique. They can be vehicles to an immediate knowledge of reality. The human body–and the sexual experience enjoyed in the body–can reveal to us “what is beyond our conscious rational apprehension,” according to Mircea Eliade. When I reflect on the experience of my body, Read more
Rape Culture. It’s a term that I used in my recent blog, in which I express my anger over the pervasive focus in the media on the effect the guilty verdict affects the “promising futures” of the perpetrators and not what all of this does to the promising future of the sixteen year old rape victim in the Steubenville rape case. What Read more
Is there a war on women? And as much as it pains me to say, it is very difficult to conclude that women and girls are not under attack in the United States of America in 2013. Upon graduation, 1 in 4 women will have been a victim of sexual assault. And if by chance they do report it AND their assailants Read more
As I walked off the plane and into Khartoum Airport, I looked around to see if the other women were covering their heads. I had a scarf ready; I did not want to stand out any more than I automatically did. From Ireland and Costa Rica to the Philippines, I was no stranger to waiting on passport control lines – but this Read more
One of my first blog posts was about the death of Osama Bin Laden. In Relief or Rejoice? Reflections on the Death of Osama Bin Laden, in which I concluded As Christians, it is appropriate to feel a strong sense of relief but not rejoice in the events of last night. Aside from rampant invocation of Bin Laden’s death as “trump card,” for Read more
