    Episode 117: Storm on the Sea of Galilee: Palestinian Liberation Theology and the Fifth Gospel

    The stones on which our Redeemer walked are still charged with his memory and continue to “cry out” the Good News. For this reason, the Synod Fathers recalled the felicitous phrase which speaks of the Holy Land as “the Fifth Gospel”. How important it is that in those places there be Christian communities, notwithstanding any number of hardships! The Synod of Bishops expressed profound closeness to all those Christians who dwell in the land of Jesus and bear witness to their faith in the Risen One. Christians there are called to serve not only as “a beacon of faith for the universal Church, but also as a leaven of harmony, wisdom, and equilibrium in the life of a society which traditionally has been, and continues to be, pluralistic, multi-ethnic and multi-religious” Pope Benedict XVI, Apostolic Exhortation Verbum Domini  What is the Fifth Gospel?

    Episode 116: Kairos II: Palestinian Liberation Theology

    We are witnesses to the Resurrection and to the empty tomb from which the light of life burst forth. We believe that the final word belongs not to death, but to life. Not to darkness, but to light. Not to injustice, but to truth. We look toward the day when we shall live free in our land, together with all the inhabitants of the earth, in true peace and reconciliation — founded upon justice and equality for all God’s creation, where “mercy and truth meet, and righteousness and peace kiss each other.” Kairos II Kairos II is in the news after the Church of England General Synod voted to hear and engage with it, stirring controversy and earning a rebuke from the Chief Rabbi. Kairos II does not mince words. Let’s hear what Palestinian theologians have to say about: The Zionist project Ethnic cleansing Genocide Apartheid Settler colonialism Europe’s hypocrisy The erosion of international law Christian Zionism Sumud—costly steadfastness Holding war criminals to account Costly solidarity What does all this have to do with YOU? How can you help create a better world? Kairos 2 Palestinian Liberation Theology If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to leave us a 5 star review, and share it with a friend.

    Episode 113: A Land without a People: Zionism and the Church

    Today we’re continuing to look at why the phrase, “Antizionism is antisemitism” is completely wrong, an inversion of the truth. Last week we looked at what antisemitism really is. Now let’s consider Zionism, beginning with the phrase, “A land without a people for a people without a land”. We’ll look at how this slogan irrevocably brands Zionism as a settler colonial enterprise and at its bizarrely antisemitic nature. Terra nullius and the Doctrine of Discovery The Papal Bull Inter Caetera (1493) Requirimiento and Imperialism From the Right to Colonize to the Obligation to Civilize Racialization of Jews How the Jews, by proxy, take up the White Man’s Burden The promises made to Abraham as theological justification for war and conquest Decolonizing the Bible What about Catholic Christian Zionism?

    Episode 112: Antisemitism and the Catholic Church

    The Jews must not be persecuted, slaughtered, nor even driven out. Inquire of the pages of Holy Writ. I know what is written in the Psalms as prophecy about the Jews. "God hath commanded me," says the Church, "Slay them not, lest my people forget." Bernard of Clairvaux Let’s look together at the deep and abiding roots of antisemitism. What’s wrong with the ADL definition of antisemitism Why is the slogan '‘Antizionism is antisemitism” a misconception What is the role of the Catholic Church in two thousand years of persecution of Jews What is Supersession theology What about Deicide What is Blood Libel A throughline of appropriation of land, culture and religion How Vatican II changed the church’s relationship to Judaism Learn more about how the church saved Italian Jews Sign the petition to keep the ADL out of BVSD curriculum Antisemitism and Catholicism If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to leave us a 5 star review, and share it with a friend.

    Episode 111: Brihadaranyaka Upanishad Part 3

    ‘Maitreyī, my dear,’ said Yājñavalkya, ‘I am going to renounce this life.’ Allow me to finish between you and Kātyāyanī.[2] Thereupon Maitreyī said, ‘Sir, if indeed this whole earth full of wealth be mine, shall I be immortal through that?’ ‘No,’ replied Yājñavalkya, ‘your life will be just like that of people who have plenty of things, but there is no hope of immortality through wealth.’ Then Maitreyī said, ‘What shall I do with that which will not make me immortal? Tell me, sir, of that alone which you know (to be the only means of immortality) Brihadaranyaka Upanishad Ch 2 In what might be the most extraordinary episode in all the Upanishads, Sage Yājñavalkya shares the knowledge of the Self with his beloved wife, Maitreyi. His simple, direct and affective teaching style contrasts with all the dialogues we see with male disciples. Listen to Ma expounding this favourite passage.
