The comment has been made about contemporary modalities of protest that they are “loud, raucous and at times profane, but nonetheless ... righteous.” This paper argues that during the course of the social justice movement of recent years, the public assembly of bodies during protests, the ways in which the bodies of those assembled are marked through tattooing, and the activists’ speeches during protests, which have the character of the rhetoric of Confession, and are all ways in which the twenty-first century has birthed new constructions of sacred text – new ways of communicating divine truth authoritatively
