Resource Page on Pope and Environment Continues With Fresh Content
Resource Page on Pope and Environment Continues With Fresh Content
Dec 1, 2025 10:21 AM

While the 2015 papal visit to the United States has wrapped up, the Acton Institute continues to add fresh content to our webpage dedicated to the pope, the environment, the global economy and other issues of note.

Currently, the page features a Fox News video with Acton co-founder Rev. Robert Sirico, discussing the pope’s first U.S. trip, and his speeches and remarks during that visit. In addition, the page highlights Acton expert news analysis, including recent remarks by Samuel Gregg, Acton’s director of research, in the National Catholic Register, and Rev. mentary during the papal visit to the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia.

Further, the webpage includes an “Environmental Stewardship In-depth” section. This section currently contains more than three dozen scholarly resources, including material from Jewish, Catholic and Orthodox scholars and a section-by-section guide to the papal encyclical, Laudato Si’.

As we continue to cover these issues, this webpage will be updated; we hope it will be a rich resource of reasoned thought and informative material.

Audio: Samuel Gregg on the universal basic income
Last week, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg endorsed the idea of a universal basic e during mencement address at Harvard University. Samuel Gregg, Acton Institute Director of Research, joined host Drew Mariani on Relevant Radio yesterday to discuss the arguments for and against the idea, and whether it would even work as advertised. You can listen to the interview via the audio player below. ...
A rift with ‘Europe,’ or just the EU?
After last weekend’s G-7 and NATO summits, leading figures would have the world believe that transatlantic relations are rougher than ever, literally as well as figuratively. The media have highlighted such ephemera as President Trump’s allegedly pushing the prime minister of Montenegro and his white-knuckle handshake with French President Emmanuel Macron. European politicians, however, speak in starker tones about the twin threats of a Trump presidency and an impending Brexit. German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced her despair at a campaign...

The DeVos budget: Toward a new paradigm of public education
“If school choice effectively functions as a standing critique of public education as well as being a potential solution to problems evident in the current system,” asks Hunter Baker in this week’s Acton Commentary, “how can public school advocates ever approve of an appointee like Betsy DeVos?” That question leads to others. What is the mission of the Department of Education? And if that mission is defined as advancing public education in the United States in a particular way, then...
Did ‘inequality’ cause the Manchester bombing?
The mind boggles as it tries prehend what could drive someone to bomb a crowd of concert-goers, many of them children, in the name of his or herreligion. Some, however, believe they have the answer: economic inequality. In a new essay for Religion & Liberty Transatlantic, Fr. Peter Farrington – a Coptic priest in the UK – notes that this facile explanation for the darkness that lies within the human heart enjoys the patronage of some of the West’s most...
What are the arguments against international trade?
Note: This is post #35 in a weekly video series on basic microeconomics. Does trade harm workers by reducing the number of jobs in the U.S.? Is it wrong to trade with countries that use child labor? In this video by Marginal Revolution University, Alex Tabarrok discusses some of the mon arguments against international trade. (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...
The Importance of Incompetence
An illustration of the Peter Principle. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Public Domain. Today at Public Discourse, I argue that in addition to idealism and self-interest, petence needs to be recognized as a more important factor in politics: [U]nless we add petence as a category of analysis, we will tend to view every victory for our own team as a triumph of justice or freedom or equality (idealism), and every failure the result of deep and convoluted corruption (self-interest). This is not...

Charles Murray: ‘We need a cultural Great Awakening’
In response to increasing economic disruption and drastic social shifts in American life, Sen. Mike Lee recently launched the Social Capital Project, a multi-year research project dedicated to investigating “the evolving nature, quality, and importance of our associational life.” As I recently noted, the project’s first report highlights the connections between “associational life” and the nation’s economic success, stopping short ofspecific policy solutions. “In an era where many of our conversations seem to revolve around the individual and large institutions,...
