5 questions with William Cavanaugh on torture

http://youtube.com/watch?v=DVtEwlmnhqo

U.S. Catholic magazine interviews University of St. Thomas (St. Paul, MN) professor of theology William Cavanaugh on torture. Cavanaugh is author of Torture and Eucharist: Theology, Politics and the Body of Christ, Theopolitical Imagination: Discovering the Liturgy as a Political Act in an Age of Global Consumerism, and the recently published Being Consumed: Economics and Christian Desire. Torture and Eucharist is, hands down, one of the most important works of theology that I have read in years.
