Catholic Church

By Jonathan B. Coe, Crisis Magazine - (C)lassicist and military historian Victor Davis Hanson (says)… As far as the politics of the situation, according to Hanson, there’s plenty of blame to go around. Those on the economic-libertarian Right like open borders because the influx of cheap labor means a better bottom-line, while those on the Left see millions of people who need their assistance and will become members of the Democratic Party… The first is motivated by greed; the second by power. The former is seeing the issue exclusively through an economic prism; the latter through a political one.

By Matthew B. Rose, Catholic Exchange - This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of one of the most important papal documents in recent history, namely Bl. Pope Paul VI’s Humanae vitae.  Ridiculed, belittled, and ignored upon its publication by many Catholic theologians and clerics, the encyclical has withstood the onslaughts of modernity and shaped our understanding of conjugal love, respect for life, and the responsibilities of parenthood.  This series will first look at the context of the encyclical, then examine the main questions answered therein, and finally conclude by looking at the famous predictions of Paul VI.
