Ukrainian church marks 20th century ‘genocide’ Russia disputes

Warsaw (ENI). Ukraine’s largest Orthodox church has marked the anniversary of an early 1930s’ Soviet-engineered famine, in which millions died, by describing it for the first time as an “act of genocide”, a description rejected by the Russian government. “A crime like this could only happen in an environment hateful of God and man,” the holy synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is loyal to the Moscow Patriarchate, said in a statement following an 11 November Kiev meeting. “It will always painfully remind us of the time when the devil reigned over both Ukraine and other nations of the former munity.” [514 words, ENI-08-0944]

Should we treat Medicaid like food stamps?
Want to help the poor? Promote a free market in health care. That’s the argument made by John C. Goodman, author of the new book Priceless: Curing the Healthcare Crisis. Timothy Dalrymple talked with Goodman about the best approach for restoring free-market pricing mechanisms into the market for medical care and health insurance: Aren’t there some people, however, who have little of money and lots of time, and would prefer to wait in order to receive cheaper care? There are...
Entry, exit, and supply curves: Increasing Costs
Note: This is post #44 in a weekly video series on basic microeconomics. As industry’s output increases, what happens to costs? Alex Tabarrok of Marginal Revolution University look at three options: an increasing cost industry, a constant cost industry, and a decreasing cost industry. (If you find the pace of the videos too slow, I’d mend watching them at 1.5 to 2 times the speed. You can adjust the speed at which the video plays by clicking on “Settings” (the...
Is economic liberty necessary for human flourishing?
Note: A few weeks ago I asked why conservative Christian outlets areincreasingly promoting socialist ideas and policies. My friend Jake Meador weighed in to help provide some perspective on this trend. Jake himself is the editor of an online Christian magazine—Mere Orthodoxy—that would be described as traditionalist conservative. While he is not a socialist, he admits he is somewhat sympathetic to the “emerging leftism” of young Christians, especially those within Catholic and evangelical circles. Jake and I have been carrying...
Why the culture matters for economic flourishing
“Moral ecology is the new frontier of political economy: the culture in which the free society thrives — or destroys itself.” –Michael Novak In assessing and addressing the economic issues of the day, we tend to look first to tangible or mathematical solutions, cutting and re-cutting various economic pies as we ponder different policies and pathways to higher employment, better wages, and all-around material prosperity. Yet as the Heritage Foundation’s latest Index of Culture and Opportunityaptly argues and demonstrates, the broader cultural...
Video: Kishore Jayabalan on Anti-Americanism at the Vatican
Kishore Jayabalan, the director of Istituto Acton, Acton Institute’s Rome Office, recently appeared on EWTN Rome to discuss a controversialarticlepublished by La Civiltà Cattolica and approved by the Vatican. The article depictsAmerican Christians as “fanatics who are creating division”. Jayabalan explainsthat “the only reasons it has drawn so much attention are that its authors are known to be close friends of Pope Francis and thatLa Civiltà Cattolicais essentially vetted by, and therefore unofficially representative of the views of, the Vatican’s...
When is Tax Freedom Day 2017 in the EU?
Tax Freedom Day dawns in the U.S. earlier than 26 of the EU’s 28 member states. For two European nations, the date when employees stopped paying taxes and began earning money for themselves and their families came last week. Americans celebrated Tax Freedom Day shortly after they paid their taxes, this year: April 23, according to the Tax Foundation. Members of the European Union are not so lucky. A new report calculated Tax Freedom Day across every nation of the...
Unemployment as economic-spiritual indicator — July 2017 report
Series Note: Jobs are one of the most important aspects of a morally functioning economy. They help us serve the needs of our neighbors and lead to human flourishing both for the individual and munities. Conversely, not having a job can adversely affect spiritual and psychological well-being of individuals and families. Because unemployment is a spiritual problem, Christians in America need to understand and be aware of the monthly data on employment. Each month highlight the latest numbers we need...
The Burkean lessons of children’s lemonade stands
Every year when the air turns warm and green leaves bud, the same story seems to repeat itself: A motivated young person opens a lemonade stand, only to have police or a local zoning authority close it down because it lacks a business license. This holds true across the transatlantic sphere, from North America to Europe, summer after summer, like a nightmarish version of Groundhog Day. The most recent case of prominence took place in London last month. Police fined...
Should Catholics support a ‘ruthless’ sin tax on demon rum?
A pastoral letter recently read in Catholic pulpits across Poland highlights the real and pressing problem of alcoholism. In it, the bishop called for plete suppression of alcohol advertising and for a significant price increase to reduce consumption. But there are strong reasons to believe its proposed policies could make matters worse, writes Marcin Rzegocki, who lives in Poland, inhis most recent essayfor Religion & Liberty Transatlantic. “The great responsibility of the state is not only to make wise and...
Solving for inefficiencies: Why a law firm is hiring social workers
Growing up on the east side of Michigan, I still remember the jingle for the law offices of Sam Bernstein. How could I not? mercials were everywhere and so were the faces of him and, later on, his children who joined the law firm. Turn on the TV or radio and you will quickly encounter a similar sort mercial for a law firm in your area. Search the web and you will find dozens of local firms. petition is fierce:...
