  1 John 1:5-7 In-Context

  3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

  4 We write this to make ourSome manuscripts "your" joy complete.

  5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

  6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.

  7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from allOr "every" sin.

  8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

Inadequate: Catholic magazine explains why it published Communist propaganda
If Dean Dettloff’s “The Catholic Case for Communism” were intended to be thought-provoking, it raises only one question: Why did America magazine facilitate this mendacious PR exercise? Editor Fr. Matt Malone, S.J.. felt a need to explain “Why we published an essay sympathetic munism.” (Read our analysis of the original article here.) Fr. Malone likened the article to the magazine bashing Senator Joe McCarthy, which he said took place after America “spent much of the previous 50 years loudly munism.”...

French-language readers of transatlantic learn of free-market environmentalism
The Acton Institute continues our outreach to the Francophone world with a new translation of one of our articles on the pivotal issue of environmental stewardship.

Brazil needs a right-wing intellectual movement
That Brazil experienced a surprising political movement and elected a right-wing government after decades of a democratic socialist regime, many people already know. However, a political movement is not enough to change the future of a nation. The reality is that Brazil is missing the most important element needed to root out an ideology of tyranny: an intellectual movement. The lack of a right-wing intellectual movement can cause dangerous consequences in Brazil. In the book The Intellectuals and Socialism, Friedrich...
Samuel Gregg on a bishop in France’s public square
Michel Aupetit, the Archbishop of Paris, was rather new to his role when the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris fire pushed him into the spotlight. But Aupetit was more than ready to take his place in the public square, says Samuel Gregg. In a book review for The University Bookman, Gregg considers the archbishop’s role in the representing the Catholic faith: Archbishops of Paris have traditionally been seen as representative of Catholicism in France and setting the tone for how the...
There is no ‘Catholic case for communism’
On Tuesday, the Jesuit-runAmerica magazine published an apology for Communism that would have been embarrassing in Gorbachev-era Pravda. “The Catholic Case for Communism” minimizes Marxism’s intensely anti-Christian views, ignores its oppression and economic decimation of its citizens, distorts the bulk of Catholic social teaching on socialism, and seemingly ends with a call to revolution.

Edmund Burke on true freedom
In the United States, a growing number of Americans, especially young Americans, are calling for extreme personal autonomy in the guise of “freedom,” while promoting increased government control and coercion. The left, for example, defends radical pro-abortion laws motivated by a desire for personal autonomy. Yet, they look to the government to enforce their radical individualism. Additionally, the left’s praise of democratic socialism has increased dramatically in the past decade. Now, over half of Democrats are in favor of socialism...
