Baptists vs. Obama’s HHS
Baptists vs. Obama’s HHS
May 17, 2026 1:45 AM

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.

Video: Samuel Gregg on Cyprus and the EU
Last night on Real News on The Blaze TV, Acton Institute Director of Research Samuel Gregg joined the panel to add his analysis of the current financial crisis in the nation of Cyprus, and the potential impacts that this crisis could have for other European Union nations that are currently trying to deal with financial issues of their own. Gregg deals extensively with the problems of Europe in his ing Europe: Economic Decline, Culture, and How America Can Avoid a...
Covenant, Community, and the New Commandment
Today is Maundy Thursday in the Western church. One account of the origin of the unique name for this day is es from the Latin word mandatum, which means mand.” mand referred to here is that contained in John 13:34, “A mand I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” There’s a sense in which mand isn’t new, of course. The basic obligations to love God and love our neighbors were...
ICCR Proxy Resolutions Back Net Neutrality
Blurring the distinction between religious faith and totally unrelated political activism has attained new levels of absurdity during the 2013 proxy resolution voting season. One needs look no further than the network neutrality proxy resolutions submitted to AT&T Inc. by a host of clergy and religious organizations for evidence. These groups assert that net neutrality – described in their resolution as “open Internet policies” – “help drive the economy, encourage innovation and reward investors” when nothing could be further from...
Finally, A Monument to Calvin Coolidge
Today, career politicians are out of fashion. In light of Washington’s dysfunction and a hyper partisan culture, the words of politicians offer little reassurances. Their deeds even less. One career public servant is finding his popularity on an upswing exactly eighty years after his death. I asked my grandfather, who turns 97 in July, to rank America’s great presidents? He immediately answered Ronald Reagan, almost reflexively. And then paused for a few moments and declared, “That Calvin Coolidge fellow was...
Richard Proenneke: A Modern-Day Robinson Crusoe
In this week’s Acton Commentary, “Not Quite Alone in the Wilderness,” I examine the intergenerational infrastructure of innovation and civilization through the lens of Richard “Dick” Proenneke, whose efforts to build a cabin in the Alaskan wild, alone and by hand, are recorded in the popular documentary, often featured on PBS. Here’s a clip that gives an extended introduction into the project: As Proenneke says, “I was alone, just me and the animals.” In his recent book Redeeming Economics, John...
Diaspora-Driven Development
The African diaspora—nearly 140 million Africans live abroad—is such a major source of foreign e that it now outstrips foreign aid sent by Western donors. The money these expatriates send back home is collectively worth far more than the development donations sent by Western financial institutions, says Adams Bodomo: The exact amount of these remittances is unknown because not all of it is sent through official banking channels. But the official volume to the continent has gradually increased over the...
Think Tanks Taking a Stand Against Crony Capitalism
Alejandro Chafuen, president and chief executive officer of Atlas Economic Research Foundation and board member of the Acton Institute, recently wrote a piece for about crony capitalism. Chafuen used to spend his summers in Argentina, so he begins his article with a story about a friend from Argentina. Enrique Piana, known to his friends as “Quique,” was heir to “Argentina’s oldest and most respected trophy and panies.” During part of the ’90s, the government of President Carlos Menem, and then-Minister...
Dallas Willard: Business is a ‘moving force of the love of God’
In a new video from Biola University, Dallas Willard explains how “business is a primary arrangement, on God’s part, for people to love one another and serve one another.” (HT) Willard goes on to explain how God does not wait for Christians to use business as a means for serving the needs of the world: If God wasn’t in business it wouldn’t even be there. It has this natural tendency to reach out to the neighbor and the neighbor and...
Samuel Gregg on the Library of Law and Liberty Podcast
Samuel Gregg, Acton’s Director of Research, recently appeared on the Liberty Fund’s Online Library of Law and Liberty podcast to discuss his new ing Europe: Economic Decline, Culture, and How America Can Avoid a European Future: Recent events in Cyprus, to say nothing of the economic stasis that envelopes much of Europe, highlight America’s need to think deeply about the current trajectory of our fiscal and entitlements policy, among other weighty matters. Gregg’s book, however, is not merely a rehashing...
Jim Wallis Book Hype: Embracing the Market Economy?
Coming during the week prior to Easter, I naturally thought the email I received from Sojourners — which I have been reading for my Lenten penance religiously — would contain some spiritual admonishment. “Just one week until … ” the subject line said. Am I at fault for thinking my mind was going to be directed to the good news of human redemption in the Resurrection of the Lord just a few days hence? Ironically, the organization that so regularly...
