St. Thomas Aquinas Week in Grand Rapids
Each year my alma mater, Aquinas College of Grand Rapids, Mich., invites students, faculty, staff, and members of the munity to take part in a wide range of activities throughout the week of January 28th to celebrate the feast of our patron saint. Although this week officially bears the name of a celebration in honor of St. Thomas Aquinas, it is also a special time when members of the Aquinas munity celebrate the college’s heritage in the Dominican tradition. This...
A Utilitarian Catechism
In a conversation this morning on the way into the office plained of what I called the “tyranny of pragmatism” that characterizes the approach of many students towards their education. In this I meant a kind of emphasis on what works, and in fact what works right now over what might work later or better. Then I was reminded of this little catechism that appears in the notes of Luigi Taparelli’s treatise “Critical Analysis of the First Concepts of Social...
Acton Moves Up in Global Think Tank Rankings
The Think Tanks and Civil Society Program at the University of Pennsylvania this morning released its “2011 Global Go To Think Tanks Rankings” and associated trends analysis. The full report will be posted here soon.

James McGann, the director...
Mall Rats, Bureaucrats, and Credit Card Decline
The Keynesians will have little to cheer about in this story. Yesterday I saw this report from CNN Money that said U.S. consumer credit card debt fell by 11 percent in 2011. Mississippians led the Union by reducing their card balance by 23 percent. While total household debt fell by only 1 percent last year, it is still a towering plishment pared to the U.S. federal debt increase. This is exactly the point Jordan Ballor and I made in our...
What Will It Take To Transform The Mountains Of Culture?
Where is God already at work? Who is making an impact in their sphere of influence? What can you do to make a difference? The “mountains” in my title here describes the ways some have divided culture, erroneously setting apart the areas in which we would need to impact (business, government, media, arts and entertainment, education, the family and religion) in order to realize real, sustainable change in the Christian world. Transformation 2012 is a one-day virtual conference designed to...
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Beginning in 1908 as the “Octave of Christian Unity,” the eight days from January 18 to January 25 are designated as the “Week of Prayer for Christian Unity” and observed by many major Christian traditions and denominations. All around the world, Christians who sometimes do not always get along so well (to put it lightly) put aside their discord to pray for renewed harmony and reconciliation. For example, in Bucharest, Romania, ecumenical prayer services are being held on nearly every...
Samuel Gregg: Europe in Demographic Denial
[Thanks to RealClearWorld, ThePulp.it, NewsBusters and for linking to mentary.] Over at the American Spectator, Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg points to Europe’s “perceptible inability” to acknowledge some of the deeper dynamics driving its financial crisis. And these are primarily a “slow-motion population plicated by the exodus of young European Union citizens and the return of hundreds of thousands of immigrants to their homes in developing nations. That is an ominous development for a region where the dependency rate —...
