Garnett on 'Freedom of the Church' | National Catholic Reporter

Garnett on 'Freedom of the Church' | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The link does not seem to work, so I can only comment on the blurb.  Indeed, I tried to Google the article and now clear winner came up.  The term "freedom of the Church" is misleading and it does not describe what the Church wants.  The Church wants power.  It wants power over its employees (in areas which should be no employer's business) and power over society.  Power is what institutions have, freedom is for individuals.  Indeed, this has been our chief error in discussing capitalism.  If capitalism was seen as market power, not free enterprise, society could decide the best way to act on all things economic and Francis would make more sense to people (except guilty capitalists, who know exactly how they sin).
