Smoke and mirrors: Our nation's image is marred by social injustices
Article Politics Social Justice
America’s inflated self-image doesn’t reflect our nation’s obvious flaws.
When Harry Potter looks at the magical Mirror of Erised, he sees what he wants to see: his heart’s desire (get it?), a happy and whole Potter family. Harry finds himself transfixed by the beautiful reflection. And that’s the danger of the wondrous mirror, the ever-wise Albus Dumbledore informs Harry: the distinct possibility of never being able to tear oneself away from its satisfying perspective.

Do you hear the cry of the poor? Liberation theology today
Article Scripture and Theology Social Justice
Though it grew up in Latin America, liberation theology continues to have lessons for the faithful north of the border.
People who think of "liberation theology" as a 1960s fad should get to know Fordham University Professor Michael Lee, one of a new generation of Catholic theologians.
Lee's faith was transformed when he put it to work among the poor after college, and liberation theology gave him a way to think about his experience. Now he uses it to help undergrads understand the connection between faith and the needs of the world.
