  Acts 4:10-12 In-Context

  8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Rulers and elders of the people!

  9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed,

  10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

  11 Jesus is " 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.'Psalm 118:22

  12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."

  13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

  14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say.

Classically liberal, pro-life, and isolated
Over the last two days, Italians have been heading to the polls to select a new parliament and a new government. As I’ve already noted, despite mitment to moral and ethical issues, the Catholic Church in Italy does not have a favorite political party. In last week’s Wall Street Journal Europe, Francis X. Rocca, a Vatican correspondent for Religion News Service, wrote a very coherent op-ed on this delicate topic. Rocca says the Church is not impressed with the center-right...
Blockbuster Benedict blogs
Pope Benedict XVI is in the United States the next couple days, as you may have noticed. In case you’re interested in fleeing the inane, inaccurate, or ideologically charged coverage that will likely be on offer from most media outlets, you can instead pay attention to the following more reliable sources: “Benedict in America” at Pope Benedict XVI FanClub. A resoundingly Catholic look at things, these folks have earned their stripes: they were the Ratzinger Fan Club back when Benedict...
Review: Barth’s Church Dogmatics
Late last year controversy arose after the federal Bureau of Prisons had created a list of approved religious and spiritual books that would be allowed into prison chapels. Among those authors who was excluded from the list was the greatly influential twentieth-century theologian Karl Barth. The potentially incendiary nature of religion was apparently the impetus behind the bureau’s attempt to control access to religious works, which was quickly reversed. As one blogger put it, Karl Barth was “going back to...
Happy April 15th to you and yours!
How do we evaluate taxes? Ahhh, it’s spring! The weather is warming; the trees are blooming; and our minds turn inevitably toward taxes. In addition to filing our 1040’s in time for April 15th, the average worker (over 25 years old) has already lost an additional $2,000 this year to the federal government’s payroll (FICA) taxes on e. At the state level, the Governor and the legislature just passed property tax reform. People are mildly irritated at the recent 16.7...
Clinton or Obama?
Clinton or Obama? A few of you may have noticed that we’ve added a small polling widget on the right side-bar of this blog. This, of course, is all highly “un-scientific” and doesn’t really mean much, but can provide some interesting results. The current poll asks who you would prefer as the Democratic candidate for the general elections in November – Omaba or Clinton. The results, so far, show Clinton ahead of Obama by about 58% to 42%. This is...
Rev. Robert A. Sirico on Pope Benedict XVI’s US visit
Acton Institute President Rev. Robert A. Sirico appeared on Fox Business Network to discuss Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to the United States this week.

Update: Here’s the video of this afternoon’s appearance on Fox News Channel: ...
Results. Now.
It’s an otherwise fine story by an AP writer, but I’m on the prowl for media infelicities in the pope coverage, so silly lines get noticed: After making little headway in his efforts to rekindle the faith in his native Europe, the German-born Benedict will be visiting a country where many of the 65 million Catholics are eager to hear what he says. I like the “making little headway” clause. As though reestablishing Christendom were a matter of uttering a...
