  Daily Verse Reflection

  Commentary on Psalm 71:1-13

  (Read Psalm 71:1-13)

  David prays that he might never be made ashamed of dependence upon God. With this petition every true believer may come boldly to the throne of grace. The gracious care of Divine providence in our birth and infancy, should engage us to early piety. He that was our Help from our birth, ought to be our Hope from our youth. Let none expect ease or comfort from the world. Those who love the Lord, often are hated and persecuted; men wondered at for their principles and conduct; but the Lord has been their strong refuge. The faithful servants of God may be assured that he will not cast them off in old age, nor forsake them when their strength fails.

Do classical liberals ‘pave the way for white nationalists’?
Matthew Schmitz’s article “How classical liberals paved the way for white nationalists” in the Catholic Herald borrows a conceit from Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: Both place two unrelated phenomena in their titles for dramatic effect. Pirsig admitted his fictionalized autobiography “should in no way be associated with that great body of factual information relating to orthodoxZen Buddhistpractice. It’s not very factual onmotorcycles, either.” It is a pity Schmitz was not as ing about his column....
‘Democratic socialist’ policies made the poor poorer: Study
Christians who oppose government intervention are often accused of harboring indifference, or antipathy, for the poor. But an abundance of evidence from two continents shows that welfare state policies actually reduce the wealth of the poor and raise prices, while benefiting the upper-middle class and well-connected corporations at taxpayers’ expense. A report from the European Central Bank analyzed 13 European nations and found that the higher the level of social welfare programs – the sort of entitlements many equate with...
Marco Rubio’s ‘Common-Good Capitalism’ lacks sound economics
In this week’s Acton Commentary I examine Sen. Marco Rubio’s case for “Common-Good Capitalism”: Americans are searching for answers for the disintegration of the family, falling participation in religious and civic institutions, drug dependency, suicide, and economic dislocation. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., believes he has found the answer to the social crises of our time in Catholic social teaching. He describes his own reading of Catholic social teaching as “Common-Good Capitalism,” drawing principally on Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical Rerum Novarum...
Anti-Semitism and Britain’s Labour Party
Britain’s 2019 General Election is unusual for many reasons. It’s not odd for British religious leaders to express their views about what they think their congregants should consider before they go to the polls. But the entire country was taken aback late last month when Britain’s mild-mannered Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis (who heads what’s called the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth) published a public letter in the London Times in which he effectively advised people not to vote for...
Calvin Coolidge on Thanksgiving: Gratitude for ‘the things of the spirit’
Despite being surrounded by unprecedented levels of opportunity and prosperity, we live in a profoundly anxious age, fearful of economic decline and disruption even as we strive to resist idols of status, wealth, fortability. When observing such a state, many are quick to proclaim that “the market is not enough.” They are correct: We also need gratitude. “We should bow in gratitude to God for His many favors,” said President Calvin Coolidge in his 1925 Thanksgiving Proclamation, remarking on a...
Acton Line podcast: Rev. Robert Sirico responds to Marco Rubio’s ‘common good capitalism’
Sen. Marco Rubio’s recent proposals for mon good capitalism’ have sparked much criticism and praise. Rubio draws heavily from Catholic Social Teaching in his defense mon good capitalism, describing an ideal economy for mon good characterized by dignified work and stability for working families. On November 5, Rubio addressed students at the Catholic University of America, saying “[c]ommon good capitalism is about a vibrant and growing free market, but it is also about harnessing and channeling that growth for the...
Acton Line podcast: The untold story of Stalin’s Ukrainian famine
The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation recently released their annual poll for the year 2019, revealing that over one third of the millennial generation munism favorably, 15% believing that the world would be “better off ” if the Soviet Union still existed. History, however, tells a different story. Joining this episode is Valentina Kuryliw, the daughter of survivors of a forgotten genocide orchestrated by the Soviet Union in Ukraine, called the Holodomor. Valentina shares the story of the Holodomor, explains...
Why the West needs reasoned faith
“Our society needs reasoned faith,” writes Rachel Lu at Law and Liberty. “Fortunately, Samuel Gregg has reminded us with his recent book, Reason, Faith, and the Struggle for Western Civilization.” In a review of Gregg’s latest book, Lu writes that it serves to remind us how faith and reason cannot flourish when separated and that bination is an integration that the West depends on. Faith and reason are not star-crossed lovers; they are literally a match made in Heaven. Gregg’s...
(Pope) John Paul, George, and Ringo on the harms of high taxes (video)
Every November 29, fans pause to remember George Harrison of The Beatles, who died in 2001. In addition to his sensitive lyrics, intricate melodies, and legendary chart-topping success Harrison should be remembered for another feat: He may have been the first singing supply-side economist. In a 1969 interview with David Wigg, Harrison showed profound insight into how taxes discourage work and wealth creation. “The shy Beatle,” as he was known, said: Britain in a way, you know, it cuts its...
Enjoy your family Thanksgiving? Socialism would abolish it
If you enjoyed a hearty Thanksgiving meal last week with your family, you have a personal incentive to oppose socialism. Extreme egalitarians would like to ban these kinds of family celebrations – by abolishing the family. The purveyors of woke ideology have long asserted that only collectivizing the family can bring true social equality. However, they are now casting the blame on the free market. As if suffering from a guilty conscience, the New York Times published an article the...
