Is orthodoxy radical? Revisiting G. K. Chesterton and John Robinson
That orthodoxy can be radical might be thought a rallying cry from the 1990s. But in fact it was already being made in the 1960s by John Robinson, and before him by G. K. Chesterton, at the start of the twentieth century. This tradition of radical orthodoxy – the idea that orthodoxy is both rooted and uprooting – is here recalled, and it is further argued that its possibility and practice are founded in the Eucharist, in the performed story of a …
Them and us: A reply to Teofilo Pugeda
A response to the article ‘A reply to Gerard Loughlin’s “Catholic homophobia”’ by Teofilo Pugeda highlighting the dichotomy between the welcome and rejection of LGBT people within the Catholic Church
Catholic homophobia
Understanding homophobia as a discursively constituted antipathy, this article argues that the culture of the Catholic Church - as constituted through the Roman magisterium - can be understood as fundamentally homophobic, and in its teaching not just on homosexuality, but also on contraception and priestly celibacy. Moreover, in this regard, the article argues for a hermeneutic of continuity from the pontificate of John Paul II to that of Pope Fr…
Ecstatic Morality and Sexual Politics: A Catholic and Antitotalitarian Theory of the Body – By G. J. McAleer
The Long Take: Messianic Time in Andrei Tarkovsky's Nostalghia
This article invokes Giorgio Agamben's discussion of messianic time in his 2005 book The Time That Remains in order to explore Andrei Tarkovsky's late film, Nostalghia (1983). Agamben is wandering in a foreign land, as also Tarkovsky; Agamben in Christian theology and Tarkovsky in Italy. In St Paul Agamben finds an event without precedent and the arrival of a time that is time beside itself, an excess of temporality that opens possibility. Tarkov…

Sexing the Trinity
For George Batailie (1897-1962) the world is ‘purely parodic'. Each thing we see is ‘the parody of another, or is the same thing in a deceptive form’ (Batailie 1985: 5). For Batailie, everything in the world is ultimately relatable to everything else, everything can be substituted for another thing, in a ceaseless process of metaphoric exchange. It is the circulation of language that makes this possible; and since it is possible in language it is…

Prefacing Pluralism: John Hick and the Mastery of Religion
See-Saying/Say-Seeing
Noumenon and Phenomena
How is Christian theology, as the self-understanding of the Christian life, to understand the world religions? How is it to understand them in relation to itself? In recent years Professor John Hick has proposed a pluralist paradigm of the world religions which would, if acceptable, answer these sort of questions. In this article we are going to consider the acceptability of Hick's paradigm to Christian theology. The question we want to put to it…
