Erroneous Autonomy: A Conversation on Solidarity & Faith | National Catholic Reporter

Erroneous Autonomy: A Conversation on Solidarity & Faith | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: If you are free next week, I will see you there.  It is good that the AFL-CIO and the Church are joining in this effort.  They have appeared to quarrel for too long when their quarrels were instigated elsewhere.

I don't agree with Michael that all liberty is a bad thing. I am also for builiding people up so that they can be more indendent - as we all don't like brussel sprouts for dinner. Neither the drug war nor prohibition worked, nor did an abortion ban that punished the procedure less than what you would get now for shooting your neighbor's dog.  I don't believe solidarity means sameness or moral coercion by either the Church or the State. Hopefully the conference will draw that line too.  Hopefully some Q&A time will also allow comments, just in case.
