And even though Hinduism can and has supported a just war framework (Hume 1916;Subedi 2003;King 2022a;Brekke 2023), it is perhaps today best known for the pacifistic teachings of Mohandas Gandhi (King 2022b). Now, pacifism can be helpful in pointing out better approaches to the resolution of difficulties than resorting to war, and it can highlight the harms that occur even during just wars.…”

“Only a God Can Save Us Now”: Why a Religious Morality Is Best Suited to Overcome Religiously Inspired Violence and Spare Innocents from Harm

It is common to hear the refrain that religion is a major cause of violence today. And this claim is not without merit. Religious differences can fuel animosity and lead to societal conflict. On the other hand, scholars have increasingly recognized the role of religion in overcoming societal divides and helping people to heal and forgive. This paper will examine the latter capacity of religion to minimize the harms that occur during violent conflicts. It will be argued that secular ethical theories often fail to provide any principles or foundations that can help moderate passions, alleviate tensions, or provide frameworks for what is licit in war. In fact, the world views of terrorists and secular ethicists of war are often strikingly similar. Religious ethicists, on the contrary, have often encouraged practices (prayer for one’s enemies, forgiveness) and provided principles (dignity of every human, non-combatant immunity, just war theory) that can help moderate the violent tendencies of war and bring about a more peaceful and equitable resolution. While religion is not entirely off the hook for promoting violent conflict, religion can provide ethical frameworks and principles that help minimize the harms of conflicts and promote world peace.

“…Where secularism is considered to be a catalyst for gender and sexual equality, religion is perceived to be a hurdle for women's rights (Knibbe and Bartelink, 2019). During the last decades, an extensive body of scholarship has been developed by a wide range of scholars from different disciplines such as gender studies (Braidotti, 2008), sociology and anthropology of religion (Avishai, 2008;Mahmood, 2005), and feminist theology (Althaus-Reid, 2000;Daly, 1973;Fiorenza, 2011Fiorenza, , 2013King, 1995), all focusing on women in a range of religions. In particular, attempts have been made to argue the necessity of bringing together insights from these different disciplines (Bowie, 1998;Vuola, 2016).…”

Navigating the Catholic Church in Belgium: Catholic women on female authority, reforms, and sexual difference

Despite being denied access to ordained positions of power, and limited to occupying lay positions, women numerically outnumber men in the Catholic Church in Belgium. Furthermore, their involvement in the Church mostly takes place in what can be considered gender stereotypical domains, such as education and care-providing services. This article explores how Catholic lay women navigate the Belgian Catholic Church and how they reconcile their religion-based aspirations to be involved in the Church, on one hand, and their lack of ordained authority, on the other. Based on empirical research (including in-depth interviews, (online) observations, and informal conversations), this article foregrounds and analyses the narratives of Catholic lay women who are active in the Church. Drawing on difference feminism scholarship and on Braidotti’s postsecular analysis, the article argues that the narratives under consideration should not be read through a secular-liberal conceptualisation of gender equality, but rather through a lens that allows the subjectivities and everyday realities of religious women to be made visible and to be acknowledged.
