  The Albigensian Crusade -...

  The Albigensian Crusade, which took place between 1209 and 1229, was a significant and brutal religious conflict that marked a turning point in medieval France. It was launched by the Catholic Church under Pope Innocent III to eradicate the Cathar heresy, a dualistic religious movement that flourished in the Languedoc region of southern France. The crusade is often remembered not only for its religious motivations but also for its political and social implications. This chapter aims to introduce the Albigensian Crusade, its causes, key players, and lasting consequences. 
  The roots of the Albigensian Crusade lay in the growing tensions between the Catholic Church and the Cathars. The Cathars, also known as Albigensians due to their strong presence in the town of Albi, held beliefs that starkly contrasted with orthodox Catholic teachings. They viewed the material world as evil, emphasizing a stark division between the spiritual and material realms. This dualism, along with their rejection of Catholic sacraments and clergy, was seen as a direct threat to the authority of the Church. Over time, the Cathar movement spread rapidly in southern France, a region that was politically independent and had a long history of resistance to royal and papal authority. 
  At the time, southern France was under the control of various noble families, the most powerful of which was the House of Toulouse. The Count of Toulouse, Raymond VI, was a key figure in the Albigensian Crusade, as he was accused of harboring and supporting the Cathars. While Raymond’s motivations were complex, his apparent reluctance to persecute the Cathars made him an easy target for the papacy, which saw him as an obstacle to its desire for religious unity and control over the region.

  The Transgender Issue - Trans...

  An incisive case for trans justice from a powerful new voice 
   
   
   
  In this brilliant introduction to trans politics, journalist Shon Faye gives an incisive overview of systemic transphobia and argues that the struggle for trans rights is necessary to any struggle for social justice. 
   
   
   
  So often, Faye argues, trans people are understood as a "side issue," the subjects of a toxic and increasingly polarized debate which generates reliable controversy for newspapers and talk shows. This media frenzy conceals a simple fact: that we are having the wrong conversation, a conversation in which trans people themselves are reduced to a talking point and denied a meaningful voice. 
   
   
   
  With skill, rigor, and heart, Faye uncovers the reality of what it means to be trans in a transphobic society. In this compellingly readable study, she explores issues of class, family, housing, healthcare, sex work, the prison system, and trans participation in the LGBTQ+ and feminist communities. What she finds, ultimately, is that when we fight for trans liberation, we fight for a better world for us all.

  Permian Period The: The History...

  Among the most interesting of the prehistoric eras is the Permian age, the most extreme period in the planet’s history. It spanned 47 million years, beginning with an ice age, warming, and ending with the most cataclysmic volcanic episode in the planet’s history. The great bulk of all life on the Earth was almost immediately snuffed out, barely crawling back over the following 10 to 30 million years, and it set the stage for the “Age of Dinosaurs.” 
  	What is termed by some as the “Pennsylvanian” or “Carboniferous” period prepared the emergence of the Permian age. Named for the abundance of rocks from the period found in the state of Pennsylvania, many prefer the term “Silesian” or “Carboniferous” era. In the preceding “Mississippian era,” warm, shallow seas disappeared causing serious upheaval to marine life in a tendency toward glaciation.  
  	“Significant glaciation” marks the beginning of the Carboniferous immediately preceding the Permian. Carboniferous glaciation began in the late Ordovician Period long before. The eventual Andean-Saharan glaciation, a minor ice age, occurred later in the Silurian Age. These were all remnants of the “Snowball Earth” period of the Cryogenian. 
  	The resultant sea level drop as the Carboniferous ice age set in produced conditions much like that of today, with ice on both poles, wet tropics near the equator and temperate regions in between. Despite similar conditions, the Carboniferous lacked the output of greenhouse gases produced by humans. 
  	Fragments of plates collided as continents were still fusing into the supercontinent Pangea. During glaciation, “latitudinal climactic belts were widespread.” Permian rocks have been found on all the continents and some have been displaced “considerable distances from their original latitudes” in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras that followed the Permian.

  Practice the Pause - Jesus'...

  These days, many of us live in a state of overreactive fight-or-flight response and chronic stress. The demands of modern life pull us in all directions and can often put the meaningful connections in our lives at risk—connections to our deepest selves, to others, and even to God. 
   
   
   
  But there is good news. New developments in brain science have recently proven that an intentional practice of pausing for a few minutes of meditation, prayer, or other contemplative practice actually rewires our brain in ways that make us calmer, less reactive, and better able to see the bigger picture. 
   
   
   
  In Practice the Pause, spiritual director and writer Caroline Oakes offers easy-to-understand explanations of how this new brain science is confirming what every spiritual tradition has been telling us for millennia: by practicing the pause, we become more self-aware and better able to understand others. We become more "God aware." With a refreshing focus on the Eastern Christian understanding of Jesus as a master of wisdom, Oakes shines a spotlight on Jesus's own centering pause practice as a transformative path for personal and social change. We learn that even a seven-second pause practice can move us beyond the fight-or-flight responses of our ego in our daily lives and actually equip us to cultivate the common good in the world.
