Baptists vs. Obama’s HHS
Baptists vs. Obama’s HHS
Jun 6, 2026 1:35 PM

Louisiana College, a Baptist school in Pineville, La., is the most recent institution to file a lawsuit over the Obama administration’s contraception mandate. Kathryn Jean Lopez interviewed the the school’s president, Joe Aguillard, about the decision to sue the government:

LOPEZ: The president contended last week that there is promise. So why would you sue?

AGUILLARD: Any repeated claim that the government promised is recycled nonsense. The HHS mandate will force us to cover abortion pills in our health plans at no cost to employees. The facts are as simple as that. The promise the administration has made is with the truth.

Why the rule of law matters for human flourishing
In our efforts to reduce poverty, spur economic growth, and cultivate the conditions for human flourishing, the conversation can quickly be consumed with debates over material wealth and the allocation of physical resources. Yet economists are increasingly recognizing the role “intangible assets” — unseen forces that propel humans toward increased innovation and collaboration. These include a range of underlying features, from basic honesty and virtue to the cultural appetite for risk and experimentation. But one of the most prominent has...

How to stand with Coptic Christians this Holy Week
As two bombs exploded inside Coptic churches on Palm Sunday, the shock reverberated around the world. “In just seconds, the entire church was filled with smoke, fire, blood, and screams,” Fr. Daniel Maher, who was serving in St. George Coptic Church on Palm Sunday when the first bombing attack took place, told the Associated Press. Fr. Daniel survived, but his son, Beshoy, was among the 44 deaths recorded so far. But the world, and especially the Church, neither suffers nor...
What Christians can learn from Utah’s economic success
How do we move closer to ending poverty and expanding opportunity in America? Does a single solution or road map even exist? In a widely cited study, the Brookings Institute’s Isabel Sawhill and Ron Haskins famously argued that at least one predictable path is evident. “The poverty rate among families with children could be lowered by 71 percent if the pleted high school, worked full-time, married, and had no more than two children,” they argue. Skeptics and critics abound, but...
Kirk on Acton on Revolution
Russell Kirk was a luminary of American Conservatism, philosopher, historian, and novelist of horror and suspense. In addition to being a true renaissance man he was, with his wife Annette, an early friend and supporter of the Acton Institute. It was at Acton that Kirk gave his last public lecture on the topic of ‘Lord Acton on Revolution’ on January 10, 1994. He would be called home to the Lord later that year. Kirk pulls no punches in his lecture...
Why government regulation of airline fares created ‘quality waste’
Note: This is post #28 in a weekly video series on basic microeconomics. If you flew on an airplane prior to 1978, when the government regulated air fares, you probably noticed the high quality of air travel—wide seats, good food, friendly service. But as economist Alex Tabarrok explains, that was actually a bad thing for customers since the government imposed prices floors created “quality waste.” (If you find the pace of the videos too slow, I’d mend watching them at...
Is Chile headed in the direction of socialist Europe?
Balneario de Antofagasta – By Victorddt – Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0 If you want to examine a flourishing Latin American economy, look no further than Chile. In a new article, Samuel Gregg capitulates an economic success story in Chile. The country has thrived by embracing liberal principles and respecting property rights and open markets.

The responsibility of entrepreneurs for a flourishing, just society
Embed from Getty Images During a recent trip to Chile, Acton’s Samuel Gregg spoke to Diario Financiero about the rights and responsibilities of entrepreneurs. Business’ contributions to the well-being of society are enormous, but explaining the good they do can be a challenge. “Businesses have a great story to tell,” Gregg laments, “but they’re not very good at telling it.” Also contributing to general distrust is that corporate scandals tend to put all the focus of on a few bad...
Commentary: The joy of spring
This week’s Acton Commentary is a meditation by the Dutch theologian Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920), reflecting on the significance of spring for our natural and spiritual lives. “So that bread e forth from the earth” takes its point of departure from the lines of Psalm 104: “He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs for the service of man: that he may bring forth bread out of the earth.” Pieces like this show another side of Kuyper than...
