Lord Acton: Man of Multitudes and Contradictions
Lord Acton was a man of multitudes: he had a scholar’s library of about 67,000 volumes, his notes and manuscripts in the Cambridge library fill some 50,000 pages, and he produced 200 definitions of liberty. Yet despite his productivity, the man who was once called “the most learned Englishman alive” never published a book. At Open Letters Monthly, Luciano Mangiafico takes a in-depth look at the fascinating life of Lord Acton: Contradictions in Acton’s life and views abound: although he...
In Italy, Stealing Food Out of Hunger Is No Longer a Crime
Five year ago, Roman Ostriakov, a homeless Ukrainian living in Italy, attempted to steal cheese and sausages worth $4.50 (€4.07). Before he could leave the supermarket, though, Ostriakov was caught and convicted of theft. He was ordered to pay a fine of $115 (€100) and spend six months in jail. But Italy’s supreme court has overturned the conviction, writing: The condition of the defendant and the circumstances in which the merchandise theft took place prove that he took possession of...
Life in Exile: Has America Ever Been a ‘Christian Nation’?
Evangelicals are known for referring to America as a “Christian nation,” sometimes as a nod to its basic demographic disposition, but more often as a deeper theological statement about the country’sfounding and spiritual status. Whether viewed through the mundane misapplications of Old Testament scripture or the more highly entrenched revisionism of Christian “historians” like David Barton, there is a popular view among evangelicals that America has access to a sort of pre-New Testament covenant.Given such a mindset, we shouldn’t be...

After a series of embarrassing leaks and scandals, the pontiff promised to make the Vatican’s finances more transparent. But recently it was announced that audit was “suspended immediately.” In the Detroit News, the Rev. Robert A. Sirico, co-founder and president of the Acton Institute, considers what this portends for the Vatican’s financial reform: I arrived in Rome to participate in a conference on Catholic social thought...

Christianity and the Rise of Capital
“Money has not only the character of money,” says Samuel Gregg in this week’s Acton Commentary, “but it also has a productive character which monly call capital.” Like all medieval clergy, Olivi and Bernardine fiercely opposed usury. “Usury,” Bernardine wrote, “concentrates the money of munity in the hands of a few, just as if all the blood in a man’s body ran to his heart and left his other organs depleted.” Yet the same Bernardine also invested time in explaining...
The European Union: ‘A secular heaven on earth’
The New Totalitarian Temptation “is the best book ever written about the European Union,” says John Fonte, who just reviewed it for National Review. Acton’s director of international outreach, Todd Huizinga, wrote Totalitarian Temptation based on his experience with the U.S. Foreign Service in Brussels, Luxembourg, and Germany. As an American who spent two decades living and working in Europe, he has a few things to say about the European Union and its decline into a soft utopia. Fonte, a...
