Ukrainian church marks 20th century ‘genocide’ Russia disputes

Warsaw (ENI). Ukraine’s largest Orthodox church has marked the anniversary of an early 1930s’ Soviet-engineered famine, in which millions died, by describing it for the first time as an “act of genocide”, a description rejected by the Russian government. “A crime like this could only happen in an environment hateful of God and man,” the holy synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is loyal to the Moscow Patriarchate, said in a statement following an 11 November Kiev meeting. “It will always painfully remind us of the time when the devil reigned over both Ukraine and other nations of the former munity.” [514 words, ENI-08-0944]

Obamacare: Elitist And Inefficient
NRO’s Mark Steyn minces no words when es to his distaste for Obamacare: “a hierarchy of privileges,” he calls it, along with “crappy” and “inefficient.” First, Steyn points out that it’s doubtful anyone has read the prehensive” health care act: it’s a thousand pages long. As he says, the problem with something so prehensive” is that “when everything’s in it, nothing’s in it.” But worst of all, it means whatever the government wants it to mean: The Affordable Care Act...
The Blessed Business of Beer
A recent story from Catholic News Service highlights an interesting encounter between markets and monasticism, a subject that I mented on before, this time centered around the Monastery of St. Benedict in Norcia: The monks in Norcia initially were known for their liturgical ministry, particularly sharing their chanted prayers in Latin online – – with people around the world. But following the Rule of St. Benedict means both prayer and manual labor, with a strong emphasis on the monks earning...
A ‘Golden’ Opportunity for GM Foods
A piece of news analysis over the weekend by Amy Harmon, a national correspondent for the New York Times, captures well the dynamics of the current debates about the merits of genetically-modified organisms (GMO’s). Harmon writes specifically about the case of Golden Rice, which has some attributes that should inoculate it mon concerns about GMO’s. Golden Rice is not monopolized by a corporate entity, and has been developed specifically to address urgent health concerns in the developing world: Not owned...
Explainer: What’s Going on in Syria?
What is going on in Syria? In 2011, during the Middle Eastern protest movement known as the Arab Spring, protesters in Syria demanded the end of Ba’ath Party rule and the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad, whose family has held the presidency in the country since 1971. In April 2011, the Syrian Army was sent to quell the protest and soldiers opened fire on demonstrators. After months of military sieges, the protests evolved into an armed rebellion and has spread...
Samuel Gregg: Reduced Freedoms? A Review Of ‘Becoming Europe’
ing Europe, the latest book from Acton’s Director of Research Samuel Gregg, has been reviewed by Books & Culture: A Christian Review. Theodore Roosevelt Malloch, a research professor at Yale University’s Center for Faith & Culture, begins his review with a series of question, including, “Will entrepreneurship vanish in America, as it has, more or less, in Europe? And what will be the moral and political costs of what Gregg describes as ‘reduced freedoms’?” Malloch notes how Gregg walks the...
Walmart Will Never Pay Like Costco (and Probably Shouldn’t)
In light of the ongoing discussion over fast-food wages, I recently wrote that prices are not play things, urging that we reach beyond the type of minimum mindedness that orients our imaginations around artificial tweaking at the bottom instead of authentic value creation toward the top. Prices don’t equip us the whole story, but they do tell us something valuable about the needs of others and how we might maximize our service to society. But though I have a hearty...
Christians in Syria Fear ‘Ethnic Cleansing’
As the civil war in Syrian continues to escalate, Christians are increasingly ing the target of violent attacks. Catholic and Orthodox groups in Syria say the anti-government rebels mitted “awful acts” against Christians, including beheadings, rapes and murders of pregnant women. Today, the conflict has morphed into a full-fledged civil war in which more than 100,000 people have perished. The most capable units on the rebel side — those spearheading the fight against the secular government — posed of Islamist...
A Dream Celebrated and Sabotaged
As we mark the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream Speech,” we find reason for pause, for praise, and for lament. There is much to celebrate because MLK’s dream has been experienced for many blacks, albeit imperfectly, especially for the black middle-class. There have been some racial tensions along the way, but the black, middle-class, Civil-Rights generation has plished great things since the 1960s. The private sector has demonstrated some of the greatest gains because skill...
Does Donating Clothes Hurt the Poor?
Over the weekend, BBC Africa did a report on the second-hand clothing industry in Africa and looked at some possible negative consequences of donating clothes to poor countries. BBC Correspondent, Ann Soy, describes a flea market in Malawi. She says that it is “vibrant, noisy and crowded with customers hunting for bargains and cheap clothes. It is the key market from where most Malawians living in the city buy their clothes and shoes – all of them already worn...
The Immoral Folly of Activist Shareholders
The Aug. 26 edition of the Wall Street Journal features pelling opinion piece by Susan Combs, the ptroller of public accounts. Ms. Combs correctly assesses the inherent responsibility of public pension funds to the businesses in which they hold shares. Namely, they should pany profitability rather than push agendas that may harm market share and growth. Just so. Writes Combs: “Not long ago, people who used their few shares to push a point at shareholder meetings may have been marginalized...
