A Good Man Behind the Scenes 

So I won’t do a whole translation but I’ll sum up quickly that video.

So for the people who don’t know yet, Noémie’s next film is called A Good Man is it’s about a trans man who wants to stop his transitioning for a while to be able to carry the baby they want to have with his girlfriend because she can’t have a baby herself.

Noémie plays that trans man called Benjamin/ Ben. 

At the beginning Marie Castille Mention Schaar, the director, said she watched a documentary called Coby directed in 2017 by Christian Sonderegger that talked about his half brother who was a trans man. Then Christian says that MCMS was very moved by the film and was very interested in the dynamic of the couple between a trans man and his partner. And MCMS adds that being a trans man and wanting be a parent is something very legitimate and that’s why she wanted to do that film.

In the scene we see in the video, you see Noémie as Benjamin and Vincent Dedienne as Benjamin’s brother, Antoine. And his brother is basically telling him he doesn’t support the decision of Ben carrying the baby because he’s a man and it’s confusing etc. But Ben says he doesn’t have a choice.

And then MCMS said she love to work and invent with Noémie and she called her ‘Ben’ through the whole shooting because it was important for her that Noémie stays in character.

And Soko, who plays Ben’s partner, said they called Noémie, « No » and they would use the he/him pronouns because that’s what wanted MCMS. Vincent and Christian say the same thing. 

And Christian praised Noémie’s performance and said it was a tough thing to do and it was really about being in that character etc.

Then Soko said that they worked with a lot of trans men during the writing process so the relationship in the film would feel real.

Then we see the same scene of fighting between the two brothers.

In the next scene, Leo, the son of Antoine and Ben’s nephew, saw Ben peeing sitting down and said that his uncle was peeing like a girl.

And the blonde actress (don’t know her name), who plays Antoine’s wife talks about her character and how she’s opened minded and very supportive.

At the end MCMS said the goal of the movie was to show the story of that couple through something that a lot of different people can understand: the desire to be parents. And that help them to understand those characters and their journey. 

And at the very end Vincent Dedienne tells Noémie she was amazing.

première marche des fiertés à Alençon

 Créée il y a 13 ans, l’association Orn’en Ciel milite en faveur de la cause des LGBT. Elle se fait plus active depuis la loi sur le mariage pour tous de 2013 et plus visible depuis cinq ans, notamment lors de la journée de la lutte mondiale contre l’homophobie le 17 mai.  Présidée par une nouvelle membre depuis ce début d’année, l’association franchit une étape supplémentaire dans sa visibilité : en organisant la première Gay-Pride d’Alençon, samedi 19 mai.  Aussi, à la tête de l’association LGBT ornaise, Malou  Estenne a décidé « de se lancer » dans l’organisation d’une marche « militante » visant à « rendre visible notre association » mais aussi à défendre la cause et les droits des homosexuels dont le premier reste évidemment « d’exister aux yeux du monde car, en province, dans certaines zones rurales, on souffre encore trop d’avoir honte d’être LGBT ».  Soutenue dans sa démarche par la Ville d’Alençon, elle vient d’obtenir l’autorisation d’organiser cette marche au départ du haut de la Grande-Rue à 18 h et à destination du Parc des promenades où des discours auront lieu à 19 h avant deux spectacles à 19 h 30.  Un forum associatif s’y tiendra aussi de 17 h à 22 h. Une buvette et une marchande de crêpes compléteront le dispositif convivial.  Le défilé « pour dire Stop à l’homophobie » sera emmené par la Batufada de la Luciole depuis la place La Magdeleine jusqu’au parc des Promenades via la rue aux Sieurs. « La ville d’Alençon fait vraiment tout pour que, dans ce contexte de travaux qui paralyse les déambulations, les rues piétonnes soient accessibles pour notre défilé », se réjouit Malou.  L’association Ciné-Cité, également mobilisée, organise la projection de « Coby » de Christian Sonderegger, un film sur les trans-genres, au Planet’Ciné d’Alençon jeudi 17 mai à 20 h 30.  Le vernissage de la fresque réalisée par des élèves du collège Saint-Exupéry, encadrés par l’artiste Alexandre Marnat, et traitant de la lutte contre l’homophobie, aura lieu vendredi 18 mai à 14 h 30 au parc des Promenades avant un débat, à 19 h, à la médiathèque Aveline animé par des membres de l’association Contact de Caen, sur le thème « Quand l’homosexualité bouscule la famille ».  Et samedi 19 mai à partir de 18 h, Alençon fera la fête autour de sa première marche des fiertés, « ouverte à tous », appelle Malou Estenne.

Ratzinger on the Undiminished Trinity

Here’s a new book worth looking out for: The Theology of Benedict XVI: A Protestant Appreciation , ed. Tim Perry (Lexham, 2019). It’s just an interesting idea to call on Protestant witnesses to write about the theology of this very theological Pope, and Tim Perry pulled together a fascinating set of authors, including Kate Sonderegger, Kevin Vanhoozer, Ben Myers, Gregg Allison, Luke Stamps, and Peter Leithart.

I got to wrote chapter 8, entitled  “Undiminished, Transcendent, and Relevant: Joseph Ratzinger’s Teaching on the Trinity.” The chapter outline’s right there in the three-term title. Here’s a sample from the first part of the chapter:

Ratzinger’s approach to the doctrine of the Trinity makes the most sense when we consider as broadly as possible what he thought was at stake in Christian witness in the modern world. Ratzinger was motivated by a sense that modern theology was in danger of trading away all that was best in the heritage of Christian doctrine. On his view, the danger was not that modern theology would accidentally do this in one fell swoop; it was that an entire series of trade-offs, carried out one after another along a definite trajectory, would result in the loss of faith’s reality. Writing in 1968 in the preface to his Introduction to Christianity, Ratzinger said that “the theological movement of the last decade” had to remind thoughtful people of an old German folk tale, the story of Hans im Glück.

In the story, Hans is given a large lump of gold, but finding it hard to carry, gladly trades it for a horse. This horse he then trades for a less troublesome animal, and then trades a pig for a goose and so on, until he works his way down to his final trade, in which a scissor-sharpener convinces him to accept a whetstone. When Hans accidentally drops the whetstone into the river, he reasons that he hasn’t lost much and simply returns home, glad to be entirely free of obligations at last. “How long his intoxication lasted, how somber the moment of awakening from the illusion of his supposed liberation,” Ratzinger notes, is left “to the imagination of the reader.” But for his part, Ratzinger makes clear how the story works as a parable of modern Christianity:

“The worried Christian of today is often bothered by questions like these: has our theology in the last few years not taken in many ways a similar path? Has it not gradually watered down the demands of faith, which had been found all too demanding, always only so little that nothing important seemed to be lost, yet always so much that it was soon possible to venture the next step? And will poor [Hans], the Christian who trustfully let himself be led from exchange to exchange, from interpretation to interpretation, not really soon hold in his hand, instead of the gold with which he began, only a whetstone which he can be confidently recommended to throw away?”

There is something playful in the way Ratzinger makes his point: he uses a folk tale, allows that “such questions are unfair if they are posed in too general terms,” and admits that “it is simply not correct to assert that ‘modern theology’ as a whole has taken a path of this sort.” But he is in earnest when he warns that in the theological developments of midcentury Roman Catholicism, “there is widespread support for a trend which does indeed lead from gold to whetstone.”

To illustrate some of what worried Ratzinger, I call in as witness not Hans im Glück but another Hans, Hans Küng.  That these two disagreed about important matters is hardly a secret, but I try to show how their disagreement is grounded in their divergent ways of handling the doctrine of God. And toward the end of the chapter I also connect a few dots to trace why Ratzinger’s particular critique of liberation theology took the form it did.

Here’s a summary paragraph about Ratzinger’s attempt to resist the trade-offs that would result in diminishing the Trinity:

The primary way that Christian confession of the Trinity was  diminished in the twentieth century was by the loss of transcendence, and specifically the loss of a sense of God’s transcendence over history. The deep interest of modern theology in the reality of history repeatedly distracted theologians from the eternal triune life in itself. Theologians often drew the doctrine down so close to human experience and historical development that they ended by entirely submerging the triunity of God into the history of salvation. In many cases, this movement remained only a kind of tone or attitude, suggesting that any talk of God in himself was irrelevant and inert, but that the real action was in the history of salvation. But often enough the movement went further, from gold to whetstone, in explicit denial that the Trinity has any internal or immanent life. Ratzinger rightly sensed that the tendency of much modern Trinitarianism was reductionist and in danger of being merely historicist. The style of Trinitarianism he deployed was designed to arrest that downward movement, using all the resources at his command to do so.

Did Ratzinger succeed in keeping the doctrine from being traded away for smaller and smaller items? Did the final trade indeed fall into the river and issue that dreaded theological kerplunk, disappearing under the flowing stream of history? Did Ratzinger find a way to maintain both the transcendence and the relevance of the Christian teaching on the eternally triune God? Reader, you will have to get the book to find out. But you’re going to want it for all those other chapters, too.

  The post Ratzinger on the Undiminished Trinity appeared first on The Scriptorium Daily.

IN CELEBRATION OF PRIDE MONTH, FILM MOVEMENT PLUS PREMIERES COBY

“This story of a gender revolution takes place in the living room of an ordinary American family. It is difficult to find such a personal subject yet capable of touching and speaking to the whole society.” –Cineuropa

“Sonderegger’s film with it’s very happy ending and its emphasis on how the whole family is coping, makes an important contribution to the continuing dialogue on transitioning, and is also a throughly entertaining documentary.” –QueerGuru

In a small town deep in the American Midwest, Suzanna begins a gender transition to become a boy, named Coby. Throughout this period of transformation Coby and his loved ones must confront their own preconceived notions of gender and sexuality while facing difficult decisions and prejudice. Combining excerpts from Coby’s video diary with candid, heartfelt interviews from his closest friends and family, Christian Sonderegger’s debut feature is an intimate and sensitive look at this timely subject.

The doctrine of God in Christian dogmatics has often been stymied and cut short by this pious conviction that we should confess our ignorance and the Divine Mystery, forswear all empty speculation [narrative theologians nod their heads], and turn to those things we can know, the earthly and concrete. But we have not obeyed the First Commandment, in my view, as we ought, and as we have been permitted to do, when we plead only a knowing ignorance, and lapse into reverent silence. We must press on to know the Lord! But we must do so aright; we must not, when we do speak, say too much

Katherine Sonderegger, The Doctrine of God

" Christian faith is not an idea or thesis, not principally and at heart. Rather, faith is most properly a living encounter, a life with and before the Lord of heaven and earth."

Countdown, 12 days to go!

Last preparations made, counting down the days left to our departure to Switzerland! Next Thursday 8/6 we’re leaving, 9/6 Wavetrophy wil start. Some last information from Wavetrophy, taken from the Wavetrophy newsletter;

Teams

We are expecting 112 teams, including 9 electric motorbikes, 9 electric bicycles and 1 electric truck from Futuricum/Volvo Trucks. Teams are joining us from ten different countries, including Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Italy, Norway, Holland, France, Romania and Morocco.

Tour Manager Didi Klement

Didi Klement is appointed as the new tour manager of the WAVE. After having organised seven WAVEs in the last seven years, the WAVE has reached an extraordinary size and so has the amount of the daily work load. Therefore, the next WAVEs can be organised in cooperation with someone as experienced as Didi Klement. Didi Klement is a car journalist with a big network into the automobile industry, and a great knowledge and interest in electric cars.

WAVE Support Crew

The Wavetrophy crew is now complete:

For Group 1, Tamara Reinhard (SUI) will be the leader and Simone Rambaldi & Hansrudi Würsch (ITA & SUI) will play the role of electric support crew to assist with charging.
