These buried truths are oftentimes pregnant with meaning and lessons that when amplified on social media, could change the lives of women (and possibly men).

Christiaan De Beukelaer, University of Melbourne and Andrew J. Eisenberg, New York University Abu Dhabi Last year was a good one for the music recording industry. After years of decline 2018 marked the fourth consecutive year of growth in music industry revenues. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, this was driven by a significant rise in “digital” revenues which accounted for nearly 60% of the total.

But, amazingly, some still don’t have these rights. And women are still not making it to the top of any profession anywhere in the world. Why is this still the case? I would like to challenge every woman and ask: what would you be if you had no fear? To answer this,…

Reading 1 Nm 21:4-9 From Mount Hor the children of Israel set out on the Red Sea road, to bypass the land of Edom. But with their patience worn out by the journey, the people complained against God and Moses, “Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in this desert, where there is no food or water? We are disgusted with this wretched food!” In punishment the LORD sent among the people saraph serpents, which bit the people so that many of them died. Then the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned in complaining against…
Holy Humour Jesus returns The Pope is working in his office one day when a very excited priest comes rushing down the hall, robes flying. “Padre! Padre! I have news!” the priest pants as he skids into the room. The Pope looks up patiently from his work and asks, “What is your news, Father?” “Jesus is back! He’s coming here right now!

Joel Michael Reynolds, University of Massachusetts Lowell The U.S. hit a terrible and entirely preventable milestone this week: Measles cases are at a 25-year high. This alarming statistic is not due to changes in public health policy or medical practice, but the rise of the anti-vax movement. Researchers who study the beliefs of parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated have found they have both religious and political motivations. As a bioethicist who investigates how cultural and societal values impact medical care, I consider the position of anti-vaxxers to be morally indefensible. Here are three reasons why. 1. Failure…
