4:00 – Kresta Comments – Will Dissident Theologians and Cultural Leftists Regret Claiming Pope Francis as Their Own?
4:20 – “Christian privilege” Out – “Christian Bigots” In
It's settled, then: Christian conservatives use
religion as a justification for their discriminatory behavior, and Americans
will only enjoy true religious freedom when their so-called "religious
liberty" claims are defeated. That was the consensus at a panel discussion
recently sponsored by the Center for American Progress. We talk about how we
got here and what can be done about it with Joel
Gehrke of the Washington Examiner.
4:40 – What happened to Catholic & Protestant literature?
With much of the
world’s attention focused on Pope Francis, matters concerning the Catholic
Church and its teachings are attracting increased interest. Overlooked,
however, is the decline of Christian influence on American culture, especially
its literature. This, says Dana Gioia,
a celebrated poet and former chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts,
is not only a demographic paradox -- Catholics constitute the largest religious
group in America -- but it also marks a major historical change. “Sixty years
ago,” says Gioia, Catholics played a prominent, prestigious, and irreplaceable
part in American literary culture. Today, however, the only ones with
significant influence are lapsed Catholics or ex-Catholics hostile to their
former Church. Dana is here to discuss it.
