Evangelicals and Catholics Together?
Evangelicals and Catholics Together?
Feb 23, 2026 9:04 AM

The Making Men Moral conference at Union University is over, but there are some takeaways. This was a unique engagement of many natural law thinkers such as the Catholics Robert George and Francis Beckwith with Southern Baptists like Russell Moore and Greg Thornbury.

In that connection, Russell Moore delivered a message that I think would be considered a highlight of the conference by anyone who attended. He addressed the differences between Catholics and Evangelicals irenically without being ecumenical in any mushy way and spoke eloquently about the joint engagement by the two groups with the culture.

This was a wholly edifying address that shied away from nothing. For that reason, I’m linking the audio. It is well worth your time if you are interested in the relationship between the two traditions.

Let me underscore. Great address.

A Problem for Fighting Poverty: Fewer Than Half of American Adults Work Full-Time
The single best weapon against poverty in America is a full-time job. In 2014 the poverty rate among married couples was 6 percent; the poverty rate among married couples who both have full-time jobs was 0.001 percent.

No GMO for Fido?
As noted in the past posts, the tentacles of progressive environmentalism and fear-mongering against genetically modified organisms reach deep into the universe of religious shareholder activism. In fact, the connection between Green America and shareholder groups As You Sow and the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility reads like a tin-eared version of “Dem Bones” wherein the connective tissue is mutual involvement with US SIF: The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment and Ceres. Knowledge of plicated interrelationships of these investment...
The Full Text of the Joint Declaration of Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill
Last Friday, for the first time in history, a Roman Catholic pontiff and the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church met face to face. According to Vatican Insider, Metropolitan Hilarion said in a press conference prior to the event that the historic meeting between the Patriarch of Moscow and the Pope “had been in the making for about 20 years” but was speeded up by the “Christian genocide” being caused by terrorists. (You can read an explainer about ithere.) The...

The Executive’s Conscience: Where Work and Wage Meet
“The twin tracks of work and wage do not meet, and cannot be scientifically related. They are bridged by morality, not by mathematics.” -Lester DeKoster Low-wage workers continue to picket and protest around the country,demanding an increased minimum wage, improved access to benefits, and better working conditions. The political rhetoric hasfollowed accordingly, with Bernie Sanders calling for an increase in the minimum wage to $15 per hour, and Hillary Clinton arguing for $12 (due to differing magic potions, no doubt)....
6 Quotes: Antonin Scalia on Law and the Judiciary
When Justice Antonin Scalia died on Saturday, the Supreme Court lost not only one it’s most astute and brilliant legal mind, but one of the wittiest and most profound judges in American history. Here are six quotes about law and the judiciary to remind you of the rhetorical brilliance of Scalia: On Being a Good Judge: “If you’re going to be a good and faithful judge, you have to resign yourself to the fact that you’re not always going to...

Acton Institute President and Co-founder Rev. Robert A. Siricotook to the airwaves in Detroit this morning with guesthost Jason Vines on WJR Radio’s The Frank Beckmann Show to discuss the oft-overlooked fact that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was first and foremost a Christian pastor – theReverendDr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In many current day remembrances of King, his status as a Christian pastor seems to be downplayed or altogether ignored, instead portraying him as more of a generic “civil...
Politics and the Successful Businessperson Fallacy
Michael Bloombergand Donald Trump are both businessmen, both are politicians, and both are billionaires. Obviously, then,they must know a lot about economics, right? Not necessarily. As Don Boudreaux — a man who does know a lot about economics — correctlypoints out, success at business does not imply knowledge of economics: Knowing how to run a business is not the same thing as knowing economics. To assume that the two domains of knowledge and expertise are the same is an error...
