  • 74. A Better Kind of Politics - Fratelli Tutti Chapter 5 - Belief Street

    Welcome to Empathy Media Lab’s Belief Street where we’ll be exploring religious concepts through text and scripture, interviews and profiles, and documentaries and films.  

    So why do I want to explore religious concepts even though I haven’t been a practicing Catholic for over two decades?

    Well, first, I’m appalled at the hypocrites who have hijacked Jesus’ teachings to love our neighbor and treat people the way we want to be treated. 

    And as an outsider looking into the internal politics of the Catholic Church, it appears to me that there is civil war raging between a progressive Pope Francis and a very dangerous reactionary faction that sides with the hypocrites previously mentioned.

    Ultimately, the outcome of this battle will determine whether it is fear or love that organizes the Holy See.

    Fratelli Tutti

    For this series of Belief Street, I’ll be reading Fratelli Tutti, which is Pope Francis’ Encyclical subtitled "on fraternity and social friendship.”

    The encyclical calls for more human fraternity and solidarity, and is a plea to reject wars.

    The document was signed on  October 3rd 2020, on the occasion of Pope Francis's visit to the tomb of his namesake, Saint Francis of Assisi, and was published the following day, on the saint's feast day.

    The Catholic Church I went to growing up in Muskegon, Michigan was called St. Francis De Sales and it is one of the strangest concrete structures I’ve ever seen. 

    The Sunday experience in that brutalist architectural design made a lasting impression on me that I plan to discuss in coming episodes.

    Almost twenty years ago, I also had the pleasure of visiting the town of Assisi in Italy during a solo backpacking trip across Europe at the beginning of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

    After a day of exploration, I found a modest campsite at Fontemaggio Assisi not far from the town center, ate a delicious pasta meal with some local red wine, and I still remember that night sleeping on the side a mountain on a clear evening, looking up at the sky and thinking about the deeper questions of our life.

    So with an interest in getting back to my roots, for this installment, I’ll be reading Fratelli Tutti, Chapter 5 A Better Kind of Politics.

  • 71. A Heart Open to the Whole World - Fratelli Tutti Chapter 4 - Belief Street

    “...no one people, culture or individual can achieve everything on its own: to attain fulfillment in life we need others. An awareness of our own limitations and incompleteness, far from being a threat, becomes the key to envisaging and pursuing a common project. For man is a limited being who is himself limitless.”

  • 70. Dan Golodner of Tales from the Reuther Library - Labor Radio Podcast Member Spotlight Series

    “...the klan almost took over Detroit..not only was Detroit a mecca for industrialists who wanted to keep power to themselves and one way to keep power is to produce hate but you have so many immigrants coming in the [19] 20s and 30s that they mistrust each other and to mistrust each other you use hate against each other. And one thing to use is also terrorism…”

    Tales from the Reuther Library is a production of the Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Host, Dan Golodner is an Archivist at the Walter P. Reuther Library, Wayne State University. 

    The Reuther Library is the largest labor archives in North America and is home to the collections of numerous unions and labor-related organizations. Its collection strengths extend to the political and community life of urban and metropolitan Detroit, the civil rights movement in Michigan and nationally, and women’s struggles in the workplace. 

    The Reuther Library is also the home of the Wayne State University Archives, established by the Board of Governors in 1958 in recognition of the importance and permanent value of the University’s official files, records, and documents.

    The Reuther Library was established as the Labor History Archives at Wayne State University in 1960, with the goal of collecting and preserving original source materials relating to the development of the American labor movement. In 1975, the Walter P. Reuther Library was constructed with funds given to Wayne State University by the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, and through a supplementary grant from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. A later gift from the UAW funded the construction of the library’s Leonard Woodcock Wing, completed in 1991.
