Why (Almost) Everything (You Think) You Know about Pornography Is (Probably) Wrong.

If the harm done by pornography and the social threat it represents are so clear and obvious, then why are the arguments made against it so uniformly bad? In this lecture, Religious Studies professor and sociologist Doug Cowan explores the social construction of the porn threat. And what he says may surprise you. The size of the pornography industry, for example, is regularly over-estimated by at least an order of magnitude.

Pope Francis and the Jews: A Friendship Revisited

PROF. MICHAEL HIGGINS is a world renowned expert, columnist, and CBC consultant on Vatican affairs. Formerly President of St. Jerome’s University, he is currently vice president for Mission and Catholic Identity at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut.
What is the attitude of the current Pope Francis toward the Jews? 
Where does he stand in relation to his immediate predecessors — John Paul II and Benedict XVI — on both theological and political grounds regarding such existentially crucial issues as the State of Israel, rising anti-semitism, and the Vatican’s own relationship with Jews and Judaism?

Religious Freedom at Risk? Islam, Europe and the Right to Act on Faith

Speaker: Dr. Melanie Adrian, Dept. of Law and Legal Studies, Carleton University

Description: Religious freedom has been increasingly under attack in France in the last 10 years. In 2004, religious symbols were banned in public high schools, and in 2011, covering the face in public spaces was prohibited. These measures were largely a response to, and have disproportionately affected, Muslim communities – especially Muslim women. They may also be jeopardizing pluralism, democracy, and certain conceptions of freedom.
