Anthony Bradley discusses cultural moral failings
Anthony Bradley discusses cultural moral failings
Dec 27, 2024 6:39 AM

Anthony Bradley has written a thoughtful and mentary titled, “John Edwards is the Real World.” Bradley discusses the moral bankruptcy and sexual infidelity that plagues our culture, and further highlights the seriousness of sin and its consequences. Bradley notes:

In the decades e, stories like this will be the American social narrative because Americans are not inculcating virtue in children. Are parents today raising children to be women and men of prudence, courage, justice, and self-control? Or are we raising the kinds of children who will be the self-focused, egotistic, and narcissistic, believe they are invincible and are morally accountable to no one? That is, “successful,” but lacking integrity.

This is a mentary that discusses an important topic that will determine much about the future stability and ethical health of our nation.

Ralph Baer and the Art of Innovation
In the video below, Ralph Baer, the “father of video games,” explains why he still invents at 90 years old. “What do you expect me to do?” he asks. He likens invention to the work of a painter. Would someone ask why a painter doesn’t retire? It’s what they love to do! Indeed, it is a calling. In The Entrepreneurial Vocation, Fr. Robert Sirico writes, Entrepreneurs, as agents of change, encourage the economy to adjust to population increases, resource shifts,...
Orthodoxy and Natural Law: A Reappraisal
At Ethika Politika today, I examine the recent critique by David Bentley Hart in the most recent issue ofFirst Things of the use of natural law in public discourse in my article, “Natural Law, Public Policy, and the Uncanny Voice of Conscience.” Ultimately, I offer a measured critique—somewhat agreeing with, but mostly critical of Hart’s position—pointing out Hart’s oversight of the vital role of conscience in classic natural law theory. What I find so bizarre, and have for some time...
Creating a Culture That Lasts: Matthew Lee Anderson on ‘Radical Christianity’
I recently expressed my reservations about David Platt’s approach to “radical Christianity,” noting that, outside of embracing certain Biblical constraints (e.g. tithing), we should be wary of cramming God’s will into our own cookie-cutter molds for how wealth should be carved up and divvied out. In this month’s cover story inChristianity Today, my good friend Matthew Lee Anderson of Mere Orthodoxy does a nice job of summarizing some additional issues surrounding the broader array of “radical Christianity” books and movements....

Architecture, Human Flourishing, and Health Care
In a recent issue of Metropolis Magazine, Thomas de Monchaux tells the story of an amazing lesson about innovation that Americans can learn from Rwandans. This is no surprise, but readers will learn that burdensome government regulations stifle innovation and undermine human flourishing. De Monchaux recounts the story of Michael Murphy, executive director and co-founder of the Boston-based MASS Design Group, and Alan Ricks, MASS cofounder and COO, attempting to take what they learned from building health care facilitates and...
Sirico: The Drama and Reality of Choosing a New Pope
In today’s The Detroit News, the Rev. Robert Sirico seeks to set aside some of the rumors, skewered Hollywood depictions, and media predictions that swirl around any papal conclave. Of course, this time is decidedly different, as the cardinals ing together not after the death of a pope, but one’s retirement. There is much talk throughout all the Church as to whom the next pope will be, and as Fr. Sirico points out, “[n]o one, not even the most well-informed...
Rand Paul Knows What We Know: Power Corrupts
After nearly 13 hours of speaking in an attempt to stall the confirmation of CIA Director nominee John Brennan, Sen. Rand Paul ended his filibuster. The filibuster is a grandiose method of legislative stalling, requiring the speaker to hold the floor, talking the entire time and not sitting down. In essence, one tries to talk a bill to death. The most famous fictitious depiction of the filibuster is probably is Frank Capra’s Mr. Smith Goes To Washington. Paul Rand, as...
Jayabalan: Possibility of a Non European Pope
Update: Video Interview with Kishore from Rome. Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith As the world awaits the beginning of the conclave, many are looking at non European Cardinals as potentials for the next pope. Channel News Asia points out that “68 per cent of the world’s Catholics currently from Latin America, Africa and Asia, there are increased calls for the next pope to be a non-European.” They asked Kishore Jayabalan, director of Acton’s Rome Office, to offer his thoughts on non Europeans...
Welfare Spending Equals $47,000 and a Ford Fiesta Per Family
When es to proving support for those in poverty, a significant number of economists, politicians, and pundits support direct transfer of money—just giving the poor cash. There are many moral and practical reasons I think that option is a suboptimal means of aiding the poorest of our neighbors. But it does have one substantial benefit: It’d be much cheaper and efficient than current welfare programs. As Daniel Halper at The Weekly Standard points out, the Senate Budget Committee finds that...

Samuel Gregg recently spoke with Marie Stroughter from African-American Conservatives. They discuss Gregg’s new book, ing Europe: Economic Decline, Culture, and How America Can Avoid a European Future. Stroughter asked Gregg about the dichotomy between “cuddle capitalism” (the European social model) and a dynamic market economy.
