The Problem with Dr. Mirus | National Catholic Reporter

The Problem with Dr. Mirus | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: I am not sure why MSW gives this idiot the gift of a mention, although Mirus certainly is an example of why Ph.D means Piled Higher and Deeper.  I would recommend to Mirus that he read the Book of Amos, as well as all of the scriptures in the Old Testament which requiring gleaning and the forgiveness of debt during Jubilee years, then shift to all the times Jesus has the wealthy go to Hell.  I will grant that the Third Way thinking which has evolved from Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum has been fractured into many paths (Georgism, Distributism, Binary Economic, Inter-Independence) - but the fact that it has not been implemented speaks more to the opposition of the Capitalists than to the coherence of either the message or any of its options.  The one thing that is constant in all of these streams of thought is the REQUIREMENT (not the prudential option) for a just wage that considers the size of the family and its needs.  The prudential part is HOW to make it happen, not IF - and action is necessary because Capitalism does not seem to be able to. Since Capitalism cannot, then capitalism is what must be replaced - and any capitalist funded operation like the Tea Party and Catholicculture.org should be disregarded entirely.
