Explainer: Supreme Court Punts on Little Sisters Religious Liberty Case
What just happened? The Supreme Court avoided issuing a major ruling today in bined religious liberty case, Zubik v. Burwell. In a unanimous decision, the justices wrote that the Court “expresses no view on the merits of the cases” but were instead sending the case back down to the lower courts for opposing parties to work out promise. What is this case, and what’s it about? The case, Zubik v. bines seven challenges to the Health and Human Services’ (HHS)...
Don’t Politicize Transgender Issue
I want to be very clear from the outset that moral concerns surrounding transgender identity are not unimportant. But in the likely event that we e to any national consensus on that question any time soon, it is important not to overlook other moral and social concerns that are far more pressing. In particular, there are legitimate concerns regarding safety and privacy, no matter which side one favors, but resorting to the force of law will leave some real victims...

The Regulatory State Adds ‘Ten Thousand Commandments’ Every Year
In the Old Testament there mandments. Apparently,God deemed those to be enough to regulate almost every aspect of the lives of his people for thousands of years. You could read all of them in less than 30 minutes. The American federal government, however, is not so succinct. There are over 1 million restrictions in the federal regulations alone (i.e., not counting the statutory law). And thousands more are added every year. Each year the Competitive Enterprise Institute puts out annual...
Samuel Gregg on David Bentley Hart and Murderous Markets
Is the dominant economic system we have today, the market economy or patible with Christianity? Orthodox Christian theologian David Bentley Hart in a June 2016First Things article titled,”Mammon Ascendant: Why global capitalism is inimical to Christianity,” is skeptical. As you might gather from the title of his article. On Public Discourse, Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg takes a closer look at Hart’s curious economic postulates such as the one about the “purely financial market” and his rather overbroad claim that...
Sisters’ ExxonMobil Resolution More Gaia Than Catholic
Divination, bearing false witness and pantheism are three no-no’s of Christianity. You could look it up. I know from personal experience that many of my fellow pewsitters in the Catholic tradition fail in their attempts to obey the strictures of the faith by seeking out tarot cards, Ouija boards, horoscopes and the like. Many of us are guilty also of spreading deceit, bald-faced lies or even plete and unsettled facts as ontological truths. This has been a problem for some...

Michael Matheson Miller made an appearance on Fox Business Channel last week to discuss how his documentary addresses the issue of celebrity efforts at poverty alleviation, noting that often, such campaigns can do more harm than good.

The Power—and Danger—in Luther’s Concept of Work
“MartinLuther probably did more than any Protestant to establish thetheology of work many Christians embrace today,” says Dan Doriani. “Like no theologian before him, he insisted on the dignity and value of all labor.” Doriani highlights many of Luther’s positive contributions to the theology of work, but warnsthat it can lead to confusing “work” and “vocation”: There is occupation without vocation. One can earn bread as a cashier, cook, nanny, or salesperson without hearing a call to that life. A...
How Does the Economy Actually Work?
In every stage of my formal schooling – from high school to college to graduate school – I took courses in economics. Yet with all that education I struggled to understand a seemingly simple question: How does the economy actually work? Sure, I can still draw supply and demand curves or give the equation for GDP (Y = C + I + G + (X − M)). But when es to picturing a reasonably functional model of how it all...
Does Capitalism Exploit Workers?
One of the mon criticisms of capitalism is that the system exploits workers. It’s an old claim (dating back to at least Karl Marx). But is it true? Philosopher Matt Zwolinski argues that even if individual capitalists want to exploit workers the free market tends to prevent them from doing so. However, government interference in labor markets does allow some parties to gain at someone else’s expense. ...
