For “unless there is a moral revival in our Western world (especially) a rebirth of family life, Communism may be the instrument for the liquidation of a bourgeois civilization that has forgotten God . . . Communism is not to be feared just because it is anti-God, but because we are Godless; not because it is strong but because we are weak, for if we are under God, then who can conquer us?” — Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
I wrote a couple of articles last fall for the Register’s ongoing series on health care reform.
The series was suspended shortly before the election for two reasons: One, it seemed best to hold off more articles until after we knew who our new president would be.
And two, because my new duties as the Daily Blog’s chief blogger precluded my writing any more installments at that time.
But fear not, the Register plans to pick up the series where we left off now that the plans of President Barack Obama and Congress regarding health care reform the plans of President Barack Obama and Congress regarding health care reform are coming into clearer focus.
Our next article about health care reform will be published in a future issue of the Register.
In the meantime, please direct your attention to the video embedded at the start of this post for a detailed discussion of the area of health reform. The video features Dr. Donald Condit, a Catholic orthopedic surgeon in Grand Rapids, Mich., and an associate professor at Michigan State University.
The video has been posted on the Internet by the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty, for whom Dr. Condit serves as a policy expert. The Acton Institute’s Christian Social Thought Series will be publishing Dr. Condit’s monograph on Health Care Reform in 2009.
“As Christians we must love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, but as Christians we must also stand up for what we believe and always be ready to fight for the Faith. The days in which we live now require heroic Catholicism, not casual Catholicism. We can no longer be Catholics by accident, but instead be Catholics by conviction.”
