Isn’t that just the USCCB?
“Cardinal Rodríguez Maradiaga and likeminded thinkers, stuck as they are in the hopelessly 19th-century distributist model of economic analysis, apparently are incapable of thinking through the implications of their own dogma.”
Stuck in distributism? No, I don’t think so.
Just yesterday I warned of the “Christian Left” loose in Texas, particularly out of San Antonio Catholic seminary and bishops, wholesale.
On a thread trumpeting Texas conservative certainty in their future, I beg to differ. I was wondering if Texas Republicans leaders and strategists have even noticed this quiet source of socialist thought.
This is the second time in a month I find articles from National Review that could have been written by Politico.
One of the many blessings of the Catholic faith is that the only “truth” comes from the Catechesis of the Catholic Church. nothing outside of this is church doctrine.
What anyone else says is personal opinion, or possiblly intentional slander. personal opinion all really depends on how you define capatalism. The crony capitalism we have today is NOT Christian. That said the problem isn’t “capitalsim” or private business, The problem is having a government that functions under the guise of Democracy, but is actually beholden to Fat Cat bankers and hedge funds managers who launder money for cartels. It is taxation without representation, which is tyranny. A government funded by enemies of its’ citizens is treasonous. The message of the Catholic Church is distorted daily, because the criminal cartels are in charge.
Afghan poppy fields are at record production under US military protection, and we have an opium epidemic in the country that exceeds alcohol and car accidents in accidental deaths. World markets are being flooded with pure heroin, and world citizens are bring deceived beyond most people’s comprehension. Our complicit government has the blood of American children on its hands, along with the enabling “media”. God will take care of them, everyone else take care of your families.
Also note that the extreme right (and not just Catholics) have always declaimed against "usury," bankers, and "the money power."
What we need to do is to go back to the cave man days and start over, Since there will be no one getting paid for sitting on their butts and whining, they will have to get busy doing something.
It would be my guess that the socialist whiners would be some of the first to put capitalism to work.
The problem is the lack of differentation between small business and multinational corporations.
Calling them both “capitalism” - which is commonly done - is absurd.
As a result, we live in an absurd world.
This isn’t making sense to me. Most of the businesses in America were started by Catholics and other believers in God.
