Network Like a Theologian
Mar 28, 2026 11:50 AM

Readers of PowerBlog are already aware that Acton research fellow Anthony Bradley‘s ability to blend theology, ethics, and economics has made him on of the most intriguing public intellectuals in America. Now readers of Black Enterprise Magazine are finding what we’ve already known for years: “His writings mentary on issues ranging from race and religion to politics and economics have led to his recognition as one of the most brilliant minds of the century.”

In a profile by Aisha M. Taylor, Bradley makes an important point about how even theologians need to network:

Bradley earned his Ph.D. from Westminister Theological Seminary and attributes much of his success to the art of networking. Just as it is important in business and other secular professions, networking is also key in ministry. “I can honestly say that 99 percent of my opportunities over the last 20 years e as the consequence of networking.” He encourages others to always build relationships and stay in touch with people.

Fr. Sirico in the Wall Street Journal: The Pope’s Green Theology
In an op-ed published in theWall Street Journal,Fr. Robert Sirico writes about the encyclical, the role of free markets and the need for continuous conversation about the environment: Let’s cut to the chase: Much of what is in Pope Francis’ encyclical on environmental stewardship, Laudato Si’, poses a major challenge for free-market advocates, those of us who believe that capitalism is a powerful force for caring for the earth and lifting people out of poverty. But one of the most...
Environment Encyclical Is ‘Well Intentioned, Deeply Flawed’
Samuel Gregg, Acton’s director of research, writes in The American Spectator today about Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ encyclical which addresses environmental issues. Gregg says that part of the encyclical’s intent is to add to the global discussion regarding the environment and to the climate change debate. However, Gregg believes that the encyclical, rather than enlightening, is muddying the waters. To be sure, there is much about today’s global economy that merits criticism. The encyclical rightly underscores the problem of bailing...
Does Pope Blame Free Markets For Environmental Ills?
Today’s Washington Examiner has a piece that says “conservatives” are slamming Laudato Si’, the new papal encyclical released yesterday. “Slam” may be too strong a word; though there is plenty of vigorous discussion regarding the encyclical. Acton’s director of research Samuel Gregg is quoted in the Washington Examiner piece, and while he is clearly concerned about portions of the encyclical, he does not “slam” this work either. It tends to characterize free markets as unregulated, which is simply untrue. It...
Prediction Regarding Laudato Si’ Turns Out To Be Accurate
Who could have predicted, six months ago, what the encyclical Laudato Si’, would hold in store? Seems like Jennifer Roback Morse could. In a January 2015 piece for The Daily Caller, Morse made some predictions that turned out to be spot on. I do not know what he is going to say. Neither, dear reader, does anyone else you are likely to read. However, I can tell you two things that he will certainly not say. And those two unsaid...
A Guide to Laudato Si: A Section-By-Section Summary of Pope Francis’ Encyclical on the Environment
Pope Francis has released his eagerly anticipated encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si’. While the document deserves a close reading, its extreme length (80 pages/45,000 words) will make it difficult for many people to process. To help highlight some of the key points I’ve produced a section-by-section summary of the entire encyclical. As with any summary, much of the meaning and context will be lost. But I hope this will provide you with a starting point for greater engagement with...

Kishore Jayabalan, director of the Acton Insitute’s Rome office – Istituto Acton – has issued the following statement today regarding Pope Francis’s much-awaited enviromental encyclicalLaudato Si’.Among other things, Jayabalannotes: “[Francis] seems to blame markets, over-consumption and especially finance, rather than human sin, for all our environmental problems.” I appreciate and e Pope Francis’s encyclical,Laudato Si’, which challenges us to re-examine how we treat the earth and each other. These are non-negotiables for Catholics and there is much we can do...
