The real foundations of secular ideologies
Henri de Lubac Writing for the Catholic World Report, Acton’s Director of Research Samuel Gregg, reflects on Cardinal Henri de Lubac, whom he calls one of the “greatest theologians” of the 20th century. Gregg also argues that de Lubac’s interest in how secular ideologies such as Marxism or socialism had such influence on the Western church would benefit us today. “As someone immersed in the history of theology,” Gregg says, “de Lubac understood that the antecedents of some of the...
The Religious Left’s 2016 Proxy Agenda Revealed
The silly season once again is upon us, and by that your writer doesn’t mean federal campaigning for political office for which he cares little or the prevalence of self-promoting entertainment awards programs for which he cares even less. Instead, he means the 2016 proxy shareholder resolution season, specifically as it applies to nuisance resolutions from religious investment groups having more to do with leftist agendas than rational corporate governance and … well, you know … religion. The Interfaith Center...
Radio Free Acton: Todd Huizinga on The New Totalitarian Temptation
Acton Institute Director of International Outreach Todd Huizinga joins us on this week’s edition of Radio Free Acton to discuss his new book, The New Totalitarian Temptation: Global Governance and the Crisis of Democracy in Europe. When many of us think of the European Union, we picture an organization of European democracies acting in concert on a variety of issues, and holding mon (albeit troubled) currency. But how democratic is the EU? What philosophy undergirds the European project? Is the...
Green America’s Immoral Anti-GMO Crusade
Readers will forgive their writer for being clueless when es to the connection between religion and mayonnaise. Ever since Woody Allen’s character pondered converting to Roman Catholicism in the 1986 film Hannah and Her Sisters by schlepping home a Bible, Crucifix, loaf of Wonder Bread and a jar of Hellmann’s mayo, I’ve wondered what on earth the condiment reference meant. About the sacrilege associated with Allen’s Wonder Bread allusion the less said the better, even during the Lenten season. Yet...
Crossing the Waters of Freedom
“Although its roots are often attributed to Latin America, liberation theology was born in German schools of theology in the early twentieth century,” says Ismael Hernandez in this week’s Acton Commentary. “From this birthplace in the ivory towers of the Old World, priests and theologians brought it to the jungles and plains of the New.” Troubled by the genuine needs of the natives, these populist theologians challenged the pre-capitalist system that perpetuated the poverty of Latin lands. Energized by their...
The Puzzle of Economic Growth
Why are some countries rich and others poor? The answer to that question plex – and hotly debated. But economist Alex Tabarrok outlines several key ingredients to consistent economic growth -productivity, incentives, institutions – and explains how they bined with factors such as a country’s history, ideas, culture, geography, and even a little luck. ...
Why Protectionism Is Like Drinking Salt Water
Protectionism, the practice of shielding a country’s domestic industries from petition by taxing imports, has a strong appeal for Americans because it seems so obvious. If the globalized economy is a zero-sum game, then a “win” for China in the form of increased manufacturing jobs is likely to be a “loss” for America. The solution would therefore be to prevent China from taking “our jobs.” But sometimes what seems like an obvious solution can exasperate the underlying problem. Imagine that...
Bernie Sanders Says Pope Francis is a Socialist
Since the mid-1800s every pontiff—from Pius IX to Benedict XVI—has forthrightly condemned socialism.But could that trend be broken with Pope Francis? Could he be a closet socialist? Bernie Sanders seems to think so. In a recent interview Sanders was asked whether he thought Francis shared the senator’s socialist views: “Well, what it means to be a socialist, in the sense of what the pope is talking about, what I’m talking about, is to say that we have got to do...
