Fr. James V. Schall (1928-2019): Generous heart, towering intellect
The first time I met Fr. James Schall it was around 1984 when I was a seminarian at the Catholic University of America in search of a spiritual director. We met and although Fr. Schall never became my spiritual director, he became an intellectual mentor instead, as well as a dear personal friend and longtime collaborator with the Acton Institute. As might be considered a reward for faithful service, Fr. James V. Schall, S.J., died during Holy Week. I first...
How the Fed worked after the Great Recession
Note: This is post #120 in a weekly video series on basic economics. Last week we looked at how the U.S. Federal Reserve controlled the supply of money prior to the Great Recession. In response to the 2008 financial crisis, the Fed began to employ some new instruments and approaches to getting the economy back on track. In this video by Marginal Revolution University, economist Tyler Cowen looks at three of these new methods: quantitative easing, paying interest on reserves,...
What if Jesus returns while you’re loafing at work?
As the rest of the world celebrated Easter this weekend, Eastern Orthodox Christians held Palm Sunday services. In the Eastern Christian tradition, the first three evenings of Holy Week we celebrate a service that calls us to deeper spiritual attentiveness. Bridegroom Matins, which is based on Jesus’ Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins (St. Matthew 25:1-13), drives home the message of watchfulness by repeating the hymn: Behold the eth at midnight And blessed is the servant whom He shall...
Should commerce be tolerated?
Should we merce? Should people be allowed to conduct business, buy and sell, make a profit, and even make their livings doing so? The question appears in, of all places, the monumental Theological Commonplaces of the Lutheran scholastic theologian, Johann Gerhard (1582–1637). Gerhard specifically asks merce ought to be tolerated “in a Christian state”—that is, in a state such as the officially Lutheran one in which Gerhard lived and taught in the early seventeenth century. Gerhard raises the question because...
Malaysian High Court upholds ban on Mustafa Akyol’s ‘Islam without Extremes’
The Malaysian High Court has upheld the previous Malaysian government’s ban on three books including Mustafa Akyol’s ‘Islam without Extremes: A Muslim Case for Liberty’. Akyol is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute’s Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, where he focuses on public policy, Islam, and modernity. He makes a powerful case for reformist trends in Islam which reinterpret religious law by referring to the moral teachings at its core. His mitment to political, economic, and religious liberty...
What you may not know about members of Congress
[Note: This is the first in an occasional series, Remedial Civics, which provides information on what you should have learned in school—but probably didn’t—about how the U.S. government works (or doesn’t).] The Congress of the United States is a bicameral legislature, which means that it is made up of two chambers, or houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Here are some of the basic facts you should know about who they are and how they are elected. Congress...
Should the Boston Marathon bomber get to vote?
During a CNN town hall on Monday, a student asked Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris whether they would allow felons in prison to vote: You have said that you believe that people with felony records should be allowed to vote while in prison. Does this mean that you would support enfranchising people like the Boston Marathon bomber, a convicted terrorist and murderer? Do you think that those convicted of sexual assault should have the opportunity to vote...
