Cardinal Bertone and Metropolitan Kirill on Social Doctrine
Paola Fantini has expanded her blog post on Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone’s new work on Catholic social doctrine into a book review for the ing Religion & Liberty quarterly published by the Acton Institute. She has also translated the prologue to the book by Russian Orthodox Metropolitan Kirill. These articles are, to my knowledge, the first to translate anything from Cardinal Bertone’s “The Ethics of the Common Good in Catholic Social Doctrine” (Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2008) into English. The Italian title...
Jennifer Roback Morse to speak in Grand Rapids
Mark your calendars! Jennifer Roback Morse ing to Grand Rapids to speak at Aquinas College on Wednesday, November 19 at 7:00pm. Dr. Morse will speak on the topic of her provocative new book, Smart Sex: Finding Life-Long Love in a Hook-Up World. An excerpt from the prologue: The sexual revolution has been a disappointment, but people continue to acquiesce in its assumptions because no appealing alternative seems to be on the horizon. Many Americans think the only alternatives are bination...
A ‘Nazi Think Tank’
Speaking of the Nazis, I highly mend Heiko A. Oberman’s essay, “From Luther to Hitler,” contained in the posthumously published The Two Reformations (Yale University Press, 2003). The piece is short and pointed, well worth the read, and just one of a number of excellent essays in that collection. Here’s how Oberman concludes (p. 85): I do not intend this analysis to serve the cause of exculpating the Germans who were fated to be born too early. Rather I hope...
Day of Discovery interviews Acton Expert about dirt
Dirt… we sweep our floors, wipe our shoes, and wash our clothes to get rid of it. But how often do we stop and reflect upon the very fact that without soil life would not be possible? This November, the popular RBC television program Day of Discovery will launch a three-part series titled “The Wonder of Creation: Soil.” Acton Institute research fellow Jay W. Richards will be featured as a guest expert in the series. It will air on Ion...
Richards’ debate featured in The Grand Rapids Press
Jay W. Richards, Research Fellow and Director of Acton Media, was interviewed for a story in the Grand Rapids Press on the topic of religious and nonreligious views. The article, written in light of outspoken atheist Bill Maher’s new movie, looks at differing views of people such as Christopher Hitchens and John Ortberg. Jay Richards debated Christopher Hitchens at Stanford University last January on the topic of atheism vs. theism. Throughout the debate Hitchens grew increasingly angry and by the...
Birth of Freedom Shorts Series: What happened to China’s Industrial Revolution?
Acton Media’s seventh Birth of Freedom short features Rodney Stark, author of The Victory of Reason. In the video, he discusses the question “Why didn’t China have an industrial revolution before the west?” Although evidence points to the beginnings of an agricultural and industrial revolution in the 10th century, the lack of protection for private property has been a disincentive for innovation and hard work. Acton Media’s video shorts from The Birth of Freedom are designed to provide additional insight...
The Credit Crisis: Who Brewed the Stupid Juice?
What is the root cause of the sub-prime crisis shaking the global economy? We need to know so we don’t allow it to screw up our economy even worse. Many point to dishonesty and poor judgment on Wall Street. There was plenty of that leading up to the near-trillion dollar bailout, and even now the stock market is busily disciplining stupid, panies. Others point to the many people who falsified loan applications to get mortgages beyond their means. That too...
Feeding the World
There’s an interesting clip on YouTube of a discussion about the world food situation between, primarily, author Michal Pollan and Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant. Pollan is a champion of the “slow food” movement, which is, to simplify, associated more generally with trends such as whole foods, farmers markets (“localvores”), organic food production, etc. (The participation of otherwise fiscal and cultural conservatives in what is often presented as a left-leaning movement is a phenomenon that gave rise to the term “crunchy...
