  Commentary on Proverbs 21:2

  (Read Proverbs 21:2)

  We are partial in judging ourselves and our actions.

  Proverbs 21:2 In-Context

  1 In the Lord's hand the king's heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him.

  2 A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart.

  3 To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

  4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart- the unplowed field of the wicked-produce sin.

  5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

Falling Support for Climate Resolutions
All eyes seem to be directed toward Rome last week as the Pope weighed in on climate change. As anticipated, there has already been a lot of spinning by the whirling dervishes of the zealous variety– doubling down on their over-the-top, pre-release spin. Yes, it’s a given both sides of the climate-change debate are spinning, but as your writer is on the skeptical end of the spectrum it seems the other end is receiving the majority of media coverage. Skeptics?...

A Healthy Dose Of Skepticism For Scientific Consensus
My husband and I had a conversation about science on the way home from church yesterday. Since he is a scientist, it drives him a little buggy when people talk about “consensus” as a way e to a scientific conclusion, or that scientific facts can be “bent” to uphold a particular opinion or viewpoint. As he said, science is about discovery and fact, not about agreement. One hundred people can agree that grass is, in fact, a mammal, but that...

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...
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...
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...
