In Pentecost at Tepeyac? Orlando Espin develops a Latinx pneumatology, or theology of the Holy Spirit, by exploring the image and enduring popular devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe.He argues that all symbols are cultural creations, and furthermore, the Spirit being divine is beyond all cultures. Therefore, no one symbol--whether dove, flame, breath, or any other—can be the only symbol possible. The feminine too can culturally symbolize the divine.To experience and express their faith in God non-European cultures can and must culturally symbolize the divine, in their respective ways.By focusing on the empowering action of the Spirit among the indigent and marginalized majority of humankind and their cultures, Espín provides a clear and compelling vision of the Holy Spirit's subversive, empowering role in human history, societies and cultures.

In the early days of the church, death by crucifixion was still seen as something scandalous and shameful. It is generally believed that the cross was not widely used as an image of the Christian faith until the fourth century. Today, however, we have grown quite comfortable with using different representations of this torture device as a sign of our religious identity. We have grown comfortable, too, with the idea that Jesus' death on the cross was good, necessary, and willed by God. But what if it wasn't? Did Jesus really have to die on the cross? Was it absolutely necessary for someone to die, in order to atone for humanity's sins? Was this the only way God could work out the salvation of God's creation? Or might there be other ways of thinking about Jesus' death on the cross, without imagining it as an unavoidable sacrifice, the only chance to appease an angry God? On this episode of the podcast, hosts Emily Sanna and Rebecca Bratten Weiss discuss this question with theologian Elizabeth Johnson. Johnson is a Distinguished Professor Emerita at Fordham University and the author of numerous books, including She Who Is: The Mystery of God in Feminist Theological Discourse, and Creation and the Cross: The Mercy of God for a Planet in Peril, which explores the idea of cosmic redemption in light of ecological crisis. Johnson has served as president of the Catholic Theological Society of America and has been called one of the most “prominent and respected” living Catholic theologians. She is a member of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Brentwood.

Religious difference is integral to life in the United States. Each religious tradition and community exists within a mosaic of cultural, historical, social, ethnic, and racial contexts. Trying to find the balance and create an urgency for interreligious pluralism is not a mission that many would choose to take on willingly, but this week we speak with a person who works for such an organization that has made it their goal to do just that. Heather Miller Rubens is the Executive Director and Roman Catholic Scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies (ICJS). She is responsible for advancing the organization's vision to build an interreligious society in which dialogue replaces division, friendship overcomes fear, and education eradicates ignorance. The Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies (ICJS) believe engaging religious difference is necessary and transformative. The ICJS works to dismantle religious bias and bigotry to foster an interreligious society in which dialogue replaces division, friendship overcomes fear, and education eradicates ignorance. Through courses, fellowships, online events, and scholarship initiatives, ICJS builds learning communities where religious difference becomes a powerful force for good. ICJS is an independent 501c3 nonprofit organization.

Preaching for Pentecost, M. Shawn Copeland offers a reflection on 'Spirit of God Different': "At Pentecost, Spirit God Different missions us to live out the command of Jesus to ‘love one another.' Spirit God Different opens us, teaches us to live in and live out active compassionate, loving solidarity with those whom our society chooses to oppress––those whom our society exploits and alienates, marginalizes and dominates, rejects and denies, attacks and assaults, represses and crushes, murders and destroys. By creating these blessed fleshly differences, Spirit God Different nudges us to reach out to one another, to communicate, to meet one another, to enjoy one another, to act in love for and with one another. Spirit God Different urges us to defend and protect one another from oppression and violence of body and soul, mind and heart; to respect and honor, welcome and embrace one another in all our fleshly difference––for our shining and beautiful fleshly differing bodies are dwelling places of Spirit God Different." Dr. M. Shawn Copeland is Professor emerita of Systematic Theology at Boston College and Theologian-in-Residence at Saint Katharine Drexel Parish, Roxbury, Massachusetts. She is an internationally recognized scholar and award-winning writer. Copeland is a former Convener of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium (BCTS).

This episode is the second in our series on economic justice, this time featuring Daniel Finn. We start with a recording of Dan's presentation from our January panel, in which we asked four scholars to respond to the prompt: “What Does a Christian Vision for Economic Justice Require of United States Policy Regarding Taxation and Government Spending?” Dan's response is also available in print in the Spring 2021 issue of Faith & Economics, and is titled “Four Myths Concerning Taxation and Government Spending.” After his presentation, which lasts about just under 12 minutes, we jump right into a conversation, recorded after, about the arguments that Dan raises. Dan is the is a Professor of Theology and a Professor of Economics at St. John's University in Minnesota. He is a former president of the Catholic Theological Society of America, the Society of Christian Ethics, and the Association for Social Economics. He is the author or editor of 12 books and numerous articles most of which operate at the intersection of theology, moral philosophy, and economics. I have been learning from his work for years, and have often used his essays in class, so it is a real pleasure for me to be able to have this conversation with him. Our conversation starts out by talking about the nature of individual moral obligation in the economy and then delves into public policy, pragmatic and ideal priorities, and how we should think about the welfare state. Dan stakes out a progressive position but is keen to always hold to both our individual obligations to be virtuous and also our call to create a just society in which people's basic needs are taken care of. “Four Myths Concerning Taxation and Government Spending.” Faith & Economics, Spring 2021 Daniel Finn's Page at St. John's University --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/faithfuleconomy/support

Preaching for Palm Sunday, Dr. Nichole Flores offers a reflection which names the words and feelings of woe and abandonment, but calls us to focus on words and actions of healiing and mercy: "As we approach this Holy Week, May we find comfort in the words of mercy poured out Even in the midst of trial. May we pour our mercy to those around us, Especially as we all continue to walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death of this pandemic.

Catholic Engagement with the Black Lives Matter movement has been hesitant, at best. At worst, Catholic leaders deride it with virulent opposition and denigration. As the Movement for Black Lives claims Malcolm X as one of their inspirations, this presentation will examine Merton's engagement with Malcolm X and radical Black thought to suggest how Catholics should engage the contemporary movement for racial justice.

Today's guest is Dr. M. Shawn Copeland, professor emerita of theology at Boston College and one of the most distinguished religion scholars of our time. Dr. Copeland has written and spoken widely on a range of topics from theological anthropology to Black Catholicism to political theology. Her most recent book is "Knowing Christ Crucified: The Witness of African American Religious Experience." Dr. Copeland is a former President of the Catholic Theological Society of America, and she was the first Black theologian to hold that role. She is also recipient of the Society's highest honor, the John Courtney Murray Award. Host Mike Jordan Laskey asked her for her take on the rise in anti-racist protests around the country and beyond. They also discussed the ugly legacy of racism within the American Catholic Church, and how we can all work to make the church more just and equitable. Then, after their conversation, stay tuned for a fabulous new spirituality resource titled “An Examen for Racism" (46:30). The examen is one of the signature practices in Jesuit spirituality, and it typically involves reflecting on the events of your day, searching them for God’s presence and asking for the grace to grow in faith, hope and love. This particular examen invites us to search our hearts to reflect on how we participate in systemic racism. It also invites us to look forward to see how we might take a stand against racism in our own lives. Two Jesuits, Patrick Saint-Jean, SJ, and Christopher Alt, SJ, collaborated on this project.

Welcome to episode 23! The latest installment of the Daily Theology Podcast features Mike Avery’s conversation with Dr. Charles E. Curran of Southern Methodist University. In their conversation, the two discussed Curran’s vocation as a diocesan priest and his initial skepticism towards being a teacher. The episode then ventured into such topics as Humanae Vitae, Curran’s investigation with the CDF and the necessity of dissent in response to the sign of the times. To conclude, Curran laments the narrow focus of his scholarship, even admitting to not being radical enough, but takes heart in theology’s renewed shift towards those on the margins. Prof. Charles Curran is the Elizabeth Scurlock University Professor of Human Values atSouthern Methodist University. He holds STD degrees from Academia Alfonsiana and the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, an STL from the Gregorian, and a BA from St. Bernard’s College in Rochester, NY.

Elizabeth Johnson, a former president of both the Catholic Theological Society of America and the ecumenical American Theological Society, argues that interfaith dialogue has made clear that each religious tradition has its own distinctive contribution to make. In this Burke lecture, she explores one line of thinking peculiar to the Christian tradition, namely, the meaning of Jesus Christ. Her question is whether the central, organizing figure in Christian faith also has anything intrinsic to do with the natural world.
