Will Millennials—Like Boomers—Neglect the Church for ‘Public Service’?
Despite the plaints aboutthe attitudes, ethics, and attention spans of millennials, it can be easy to forget the failures of generations gone by. Not unlike the baby boomers of yore, we millennialswereraised in a world of unparalleled prosperity and opportunity. This has its blessings, to be sure, but it also brings with it newtemptations to view our lives in grandiose terms, punctuated by blinking lights and marked by the vocabulary of“world change” and “social transformation.” Behold, we are the justice...
The New Aristocrats: ‘Conspicuous Authenticity’ in the Free Society
Under the feudalistic societies of old, status was organized through state-enforced hierarchies, leaving little room for the levels of status anxiety we see today. For us, petition ranges wide and free, leading to multiple manifestations and a whole heap of status signaling. Suchsignaling is as old as the free society itself, of course. Whether sending theirchildren to fancy classes and fencing lessons, accumulating ever-expensive luxury goods, or boasting in the labels of their fair trade coffee and the nobility of...
7 Figures: U.S. Religious Groups and Their Political Leanings
Pew Research Center recently looked at the data from their 2014 Religious Landscape Study to highlight the affiliations, demographics, religious practices and political beliefs of various religious groups in the United States. Here are seven figures you should know from the report: 1. The group that leans most heavily toward the Republican Party is Mormons. Seven-in-ten U.S. Mormons identify with the party or say they lean toward the pared with 19% who identify as or lean Democratic — a difference...
Explainer: What You Should Know About Presidential Primaries
How are presidential candidates chosen? Political parties are independent organizations that choose who will be their candidate at a presidential nominating convention. (For the purpose of simplicity, this article will focus mainly on the two major U.S. political parties, the Democrats and Republicans). While many different types of people attend the conventions, they are formally a gathering of “delegates” — political party members chosen as representatives. The delegates (collectively known as the “delegation”) vote on who should be the party’s...

Simon senior research fellow in American principles and public policy at The Heritage Foundation, to discuss the vitally important issue of religious liberty as part of the 2016 Acton Lecture Series.

Rev. Sirico on ‘Spotlight’ and Hollywood Hypocrisy
The film “Spotlight” won 2016 best picture and original screenplay Oscars but Acton Institute co-founder and President Rev. Robert A. Sirico “eviscerated the Academy for embracing ‘Spotlight’ while it celebrated a child molester in its own ranks,” according to the Hollywood gossip site TMZ. The interview was picked up by which reported that “while Sirico agreed the film ‘underscores the great shame’ of the chapter in the Church’s history, he hammered the industry for standing by confessed child sex abuser...
Religious Shareholder Activists Promote Energy Poverty
Your humble writer takes no pleasure in reminding readers that he told them so, but a post from last December now seems prescient. The post began: In the wake of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, or COP21), so-called “religious” shareholder activists are intent on ruining investments, crashing the economy and doubling down on their efforts to promote energy poverty throughout the world. At that time, focus was on the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility and the...
Why Cultural Capital Is Necessary for Economic Flourishing
Western activistsand foreign aid experts often pretend as though material redistribution is enough to elevate the world’s poor. All we must do is give people the “tools” to do their work, they’ll say, and developing nations will take it from there. What these “tools” consist of is a bit more blurry. The more serious development experts and economists recognize the need for immediate relief, but point to deeper factors and obstacles that prevent or accelerate the path to long-term prosperity...
Pope Francis, Donald Trump and the Problem of Populism
“What would happen when these populisms collide at the first Francis-Trump summit?” asks Kishore Jayabalan in this week’s Acton Commentary. “We may shudder at the thought, but if Catholicism and strident nationalism are indeed so opposed, we may be left waiting for another St. Augustine to resolve the tensions between the City of God and the City of Man.” Augustine wrestled with the question of whether Christians can be good citizens and turned his attention to the vices of pagan...
Should Christians Help Kill the $100 Bill?
What if there was an easy-to-implement government policy that would hardly affect ordinary people but would make it substantially more difficult for criminals — from drug dealers to terrorists to human traffickers — to carry out their illicit trade? What if the policy simply required inaction from several Western governments, for them to stop doing what they’ve been doing? Does that sound like a crime-fighting policy Christians should support? The proposal is rather simple: Eliminate high denomination, high value currency...
