#ProudBoys Santos Sérgio e Baco

 

 

 

Hoje, 7 de outubro, a Igreja celebra a festa dos Santos Sérgio e Baco.

 

Embora esse fato seja evitado pelos católicos conservadores, há teses e indícios históricos de que os dois eram gays e formavam um casal. Viveram no século IV e eram oficiais do Exército Romano. Sendo descobertos como cristãos homossexuais, foram martirizados juntos, 

no ano de 310, na Síria.

Que os Santos Sérgio e Baco, vítimas da homofobia, roguem por nós!

 

Today, October 7, the Church celebrates the feast of Saints Sérgio and Bacchus.

 
Although this fact is avoided by conservative Catholics, there are theses and historical indications that the two were gay and formed a couple. They lived in the 4th century and were officers of the Roman Army. Being discovered as homosexual Christians, they were martyred together,
in the year 310, in Syria.

 
May the Saints Sérgio and Bacchus, victims of homophobia, pray for us!

What is happening in this country at this moment is that a lot of people are having an intuitive sense of something else happening. In a way, the world views that are represented by the extreme nationalism of this country are being de-juiced very slowly by the intuitive hearts of the people. That's not just true in this country, it's true in the world. And television has helped it and travel has helped it and mobility, all these things have helped.

It's as if there is a kind of consciousness growing that is ahead of the structures and myths that we are still living out. And we are part of an edge of that process, just by the nature of why we would gather here for this reason. How you manifest in your jobs, in your marriages, in your suffering, in your politics, in your marketplace, in your voting... all of that is part of the way the individual human hearts start to transform the process.

President Trump has once more tried to cast himself as an ally of the Christian right — this time, by nominating Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. This week, On the Media explains how the religious right goes beyond white evangelicals and the persistent allure of persecution narratives in Christianity. Plus, we examine the overlooked religious left. And, we explore how the image of Jesus as a white man was popularized in the 20th century, and why it matters. 

1. Andrew Whitehead [@ndrewwhitehead], professor of sociology at Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, explains how Christian nationalism holds the religious right together. Listen.

2. Candida Moss [@candidamoss], professor of theology and religion at the University of Birmingham in the U.K., on how false claims of persecution date back centuries, to the early Christian church. Listen.

3. Jack Jenkins [@jackmjenkins], national reporter at Religion News Service, explains why the religious left is harder to define, and its influence more difficult to measure, than its right-wing counterpart. Listen.

4. OTM reporter Eloise Blondiau [@eloiseblondiau] examines how "White Jesus" came to America, how the image became ubiquitous, and why it matters. Listen.

 

Music from this week's show:

Ave Maria — Pascal Jean and Jean Brenders
Amazing Grace — Robert D. Sands, Jr.
I Got a Right to Sing the Blues — Billy Kyle
What’s That Sound? — Michael Andrews
Wade in the Water — Charlie Haden and Hank Jones
For the Creator — Hildegard von Bingen
Walking by Flashlight — Maria Schneider (The Thompson Fields)

 If I view [everyday chores] as tasks to rush through on the way to something more important, they become a crushing waste of time. But from the perspective of Buddhist teachings, each of these activities is a golden moment, an opportunity for full awakening.
