Benedict: Economy Needs People-Centered Ethics
In a February 10 wire story by ANSA, it was reported that Benedict XVI has once again exhorted economists and leaders to place “people at the center of [their] economic decision-making” and reminded them that the “global financial crisis has impoverished no small number of people.” For those who follow Benedict closely in Rome, one might wonder why the Holy Father’s words, delivered during his February 10 general audience, even made national headlines. To be sure, it is not the...
Acton Commentary: Fracasos de la izquierda latinoamericana
My recent mentary, Latin America: After the Left, has been republished in a number of Latin American newspapers. For the benefit of our Spanish speaking friends, Acton is publishing the translation of the article that appeared today in the Paraguayan daily, ABC Color. The translation and distribution to Latin American papers was handled by Carlos Ball at . Commentary in Spanish follows: Fracasos de la izquierda latinoamericana por Samuel Gregg La izquierda confronta grandes problemas en América Latina. La reciente...
Pope Benedict and True Corporate Social Responsibility
In a private audience held this past weekend with Rome’s water and pany, ACEA, Benedict XVI expressed to local business leaders his priorities for improving true corporate social responsibility within business enterprises. Prior to the pope’s speech, there was the usual protocol, fanfare, and flattery. First was the thematic gift-giving. Benedict received a copy of the book “Entrepreneurs for the Common Good ” (published by the Christian Union of Entrepreneurs and Managers as part its series of short monographs “Christian...
Acton Commentary: Human Dignity, Dark Skin and Negro Dialect
Distributed today on Acton News & Commentary: Human Dignity, Dark Skin and Negro Dialect by Anthony B. Bradley Ph.D. Black History Month is a time not only to honor our past but also to survey the progress yet to be made. Why does the black underclass continue to struggle so many years after the civil-rights movement? Martin Luther King dreamt about an America where women and men are evaluated on the basis of character rather than skin color. The fight...
What Government Can’t Do
NJ Governor Chris Christie: “Today, e to terms with the fact that we cannot spend money on everything we want.” Lord Acton: “There are many things the government can’t do – many good purposes it must renounce. It must leave them to the enterprise of others. It cannot feed the people. It cannot enrich the people. It cannot teach the people. It cannot convert the people.” ...
There is No Perfect Fuel
When es to energy policy, there is no perfect fuel. But in these debates, as elsewhere, the imaginary perfect fuel cannot e the enemy of the good. And for the first time in recent memory, this means that nuclear energy, by all accounts a good alternative for the scale of demand we face, might be getting a seat at the table. Coal, which still provides more than half of the energy for the American grid, is cheap and plentiful, but...
Defining an Ethical Economy
Longtime Acton friend John H. Armstrong notes the recent discussion of Rowan Williams’ pronouncements on ethics and the economy here at the menting that “The archbishop of Canterbury is an extremely likable Christian gentleman, a first-class Christian scholar. He is also a leader who often fails to address some of the more difficult issues in our time with a straight, clear answer.” Armstrong’s description of Williams coheres well with the overall picture of theologians engaging economics presented by Susan Lee,...
Got a feelin’ for Eco-Justice?
It’s not easy being a global warming alarmist these days, what with the cascading daily disclosures of Climategate. But if you are a global warming alarmist operating within the progressive/liberal precincts of churches and their activist organizations, you have a potent option, one that the climatologists and policy wonks can only dream about when they get cornered by the facts. You can play the theology card! Over at the National Council of Churches Eco-Justice Program blog, writer “jblevins” is troubled...
Acton Commentary: Pope Benedict’s Defense of Authentic Equality
Distributed today on Acton News & Commentary: Pope Benedict’s Defense of Authentic Equality By Michael Miller Once again the mild-mannered but intellectually fierce Pope Benedict XVI has provoked criticism over remarks that challenge the secular establishment’s provincial understanding of the world. In his speech to the bishops of England and Wales in Rome last week, during their ad limina visit, the Pope encouraged them to fight against so-called equality legislation. He argued that such legislation limits “the freedom of munities...
Review: An Orthodox Christian Natural Law Witness
Like many, my first encounter with Orthodox theology was intoxicating. Here, finally, in the works of thinkers such as Vladimir Lossky, John Meyendorf and Alexander Schmemann and others I found an intellectually rigorous approach to theology that was biblical and patristic in its sources, mystical in its orientation and beautiful in its language. But over the years I have found a curious lacunae in Orthodox theology. For all that it is firmly grounded in the historical sources of the Christian...
