Jesus & the Fig Tree (Credit: Screen Shot from Catholic Answers Magazine)

Why Does Jesus Curse the Fig Tree?

. . .the fig tree isn’t a moral agent.  It’s not self-aware.  & it’s not being punished.  Rather, the fig tree is an obvious reference to Israel’s spiritual sterility. . .

It Doesn’t Work (Credit: Mary Constance from Flickr via The American Conservative)

The Feminization (& Decline) Of Religion

. . .if females lead congregations, it changes the way you think about God.  This is one (but not the only) reason why traditional Christian churches oppose female clergy.  God is revealed to us in the Bible as a Father.  Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity, is a man.  Mary, the mother of the Messiah, plays an important symbolic role too.  You lose the male & female aspects of the story, you lose sight of why these things matter theologically. . .

Spanish Easter Procession

Make Christianity Weird Again

. . .in the past few decades, some parts of the church that tend to reject the trappings of religion have tried desperately to appear “normal”. But for a generation that prizes authenticity, maybe that’s just a turn-off. Rather than being just a slightly rubbish version of the rest of the world, with slightly rubbish coffee & slightly rubbish music, maybe Christianity needs to embrace its difference, its strangeness, its weirdness, its mystery. Christianity as a norm, gone for good? Maybe that’s good news for everyone (Peter Ormerod of The Guardian, slightly edited). . .
