But in both IL and GA priests and other religious tell me to vote Democrat. It isn’t just that I disagree with them. They do not understand the economics of Robert Reich or Elizabeth Warren or Janet Yellen, all of whom disagree with me. They have mythologies unique to Catholics.
In contrast, Protestant Calvinists religious understand Calvinism and the rise of Capitalism. Protestant Wesleyans understand Adam Smith. Joel Olsteen types understand the Christianity of wealth building. Many Protestants understand the Dave Ramsey approach to economics.
I’m sure there must be Catholics who understand; but beyond 1 prof and DePaul U, where? Does Notre Dame have a Dean Clarence Manion? Not any more.
The Acton Institute is the hangout of Catholics who understand Austrian economics.
