Yet when Christian wedding photographers express their own disagreements or beliefs, acting on one’s conscience somehow es a “sticky issue.” That’s how one student describes it in a series of interviews at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In their discussions with students, the Alliance Defending Freedom found total consensus that creative professionals should have the...
Explainer: What you should know about President Trump’s FY2018 budget
What is the president’s budget? Technically, it’s only a budgetrequest (and in this case, just a blueprint of a request). The budget request is aproposal telling Congress how much money the president believes should be spent on the various Cabinet-level federal functions, like agriculture, defense, education, etc. (The 62-page budget blueprintcan be found here.) Why does the president submit a budget to Congress? The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires that the President of the United States submit to Congress,...
What does natural law say about the power of judges in constitutional systems of government?
In a recent article for Public Discourse, Acton’s director of research, Samuel Gregg, speculates on the role of natural law — specifically New Natural Law Theory (NNLT) — in influencing, Neil Gorsuch’s exercise of judicial power in light of the constitution. Gregg asks two fundamental questions: No one can predict with certainty Gorsuch’s take on any question on which he might be called to deliberate if he receives Senate confirmation.

‘Instruction by which we may profit’: A guide to reading Tocqueville’s ‘Democracy in America’ (Part 1)
When Alexis de Tocqueville authored Democracy in America, a two-volume treatment of America, he wrote it “to find there instruction by which we ourselves may profit.” By “we,” Tocqueville was referring to his fellow Frenchmen, but although he may have written those words in 1835, we as Americans of the 21st century also have plenty to profit from Tocqueville’s wisdom, if we’ll but receive it. In the next several posts, we’re going to walk through Democracy in America methodically and...

Or at least they did. For years I’ve heard my vocation is on the list ofjobs where robots are already replacing humans(along with shepherds, telemarketers, and bartenders). But is that really...

Most typically, those blind...

5 ways the church can help the poor
munity includes people who are both materially poor and ‘poor in spirit’,” says Zachary Ritvalsky in this week’s Acton Commentary. “However, what exactly does it mean to say that people are ‘poor in spirit’?” To be “poor in spirit” is not the same as being economically poor, yet both kinds of poverty matter, and the church must address both. In mentary on Matthew, John Nolland interpreted the phrase like this: “The poor in spirit would be those who sense the...
