Audio: Samuel Gregg Revisits Regensburg
Samuel GreggOn Monday evening, Acton Institute Director of Research Samuel Gregg joined host Sheila Liaugminas on Relevant Radio’s A Closer Look to examine Pope Benedict XVI’s Regensburg address as we approach the tenth anniversary of its delivery. Greggemphasizes the fact that our understanding of who God is and what his nature is has important implications for how we understand human liberty and rationality, and argues that as western nations have gradually abandoned the Christian religious principles that formerly undergirded their...
North Koreans face new challenges after they defect
They faced potential starvation, imprisonment, torture, and made a dangerous journey to freedom only to discover new struggles that they never could prehended in their former lives. Stories and reports of North Koreans fleeing their country aren’t particularly unusual. There are dozens of books written by or about North Korean defectors. Last week, thirteen North Koreans who worked for a restaurant fled to South Korea. It’s also been recently reported that a high-ranking colonel from North Korean military’s General Reconnaissance...
Why We Should Oppose Both Skynet and Minimum Wage Increases
I oppose implementing Skynet and increasing minimum wage laws for the same reason: to forestall the robots. It’s probably inevitable that a T-1000 will return from the future to terminate John Connor. But there is still something we can do to prevent (at least for a time) a TIOS from eliminating the cashier at your local McDonalds. In Europe, McDonalds has ordered 7,000 TIOSs (Touch Interface Ordering Systems) to take food orders and payment. In America, Panera Bread will replace...
How a Cuban Ball Player Escaped Communism for the Majors (and Much More)
Three years ago, Dalier Hinojosa was making the equivalent of $5 to $20 per month playing baseball in the state-run Cuban league. Having nowdefectedfrom the country, escaping first to Haiti and now to America, Hinojosa will make $514,000 this season, playing for the Phillies. In a profile at , we learn more about the trials of his journey, which involved a high-risk, 12-hour escape at sea, joined by his wife and a smuggler in a small motorboat: You never think...
4 Reasons to Support School Choice from Pope Francis’s ‘Amoris Laetitia’
Pope Francis’s recently released apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitiahas received considerable attention because of the issue of divorce munion. But the 60,000+ word document has much more to say about family life than the dissolution of marriage. For example, it provides pelling reasons for all Christians (not just Catholics) to support school choice. The term “school choice” refers to programs that give parents the power and opportunity to choose the schools their children attend, whether public, private, parochial, or homeschool. While...
The God-Flies’ Big Conn
It’s been a while since your writer began reporting on religious shareholder activism in this space. The term “religious” is used here to describe the vocations of the priests, nuns, clergy and other religious involved in shareholder activism – rather than serving as an accurate descriptor for essentially progressive political and social activities. These shareholder activists pursue agendas having little to do with the true nature of the faiths they no doubt believe, but too often relegate beneath their pursuit...
Lex Luthor, Capitalist Villain
In an earlier post pared the political economy of superheroes in the DC and Marvel universes. And today I have a piece up at The Stream examining the figure of Lex Luthor, the crony capitalist villain featured in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. As I write in that piece, Luthor is certainly more than a crony capitalist, but he is not less than one, and it is this corruption of democratic capitalism that serves as a backdrop for his...
The Pope’s Limited Influence on Foreign Affairs
Pope Francis has made support for migrants and refugees a priority of his pontificate, and has encouraged nations to adopt an open-door immigration policy. But few countries, especially in Europe, appear interested in adopting his approach, underscoring just how limited an influence thepope has on foreign policy. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal highlighting the pope’s inability to stronglyaffect geopolitical affairs quotes Kishore Jayabalan, director of Acton Institute’s Rome office and a former Vatican policy analyst: Starting with...
50 Key Quotes from Pope Francis’s ‘Amoris Laetitia’ (The Joy of Love)
On Friday, Pope Francis releasedthe apostolic exhortationAmoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love), a lengthy (325 paragraphs, 256 pages, 391 footnotes) letterthat follows the Synods on the Family held in 2014 and 2015. The following 50 key quotes fromthe text are intended not to be the “best” quotes from the letter, but merely to provide a general sense ofwhat theexhortation is about: Introduction Since “time is greater than space”, I would make it clear that not all discussions of doctrinal, moral...
Are We Better Off If We Buy Local?
Does spending more money locally keep money in munity, creating jobs and improving the economic situation of our immediate neighbors? Probably not. EconomistDon Boudreaux shows that if we bought everything because it was “local” (rather than because it was the best product or service) we would just bevoluntarily making ourselves poorer. ...
