Links for 11/05/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The Other America that Michael Harrington cast light upon has always been about income (and property). For more information, see Democratic Socialists of America (not all of whom are secular).
Currently the Millenial servers are down. I hope some rapid right to lifers have not launched a denial of service attack. Still, I love the fact that Francis picked up the banner drawn by Cardinal Bernardin, although my opinion is that focusing much on the criminal side is a fools errand, with all the action being on the economic side (and if throwing money at families does not work, throw more at them).
Sunshine laws are fine when business is dealing with government, but there will never be internal sunshine by hedge funds. The best way to get the Puerto Rican situation into the sunshine is to allow the Commonwealth access to the Bankruptcy Courts, where all motions become part of the public record.
On Rubio, most people consider campaign funding to be an amoral affair, as long as they perform. They are wrong of course, but for a right wing fundraiser to have a business exploiting the poor and hiding the money is no shock.
Regarding Fr. Cahill, it is about time some good Labor priests came forward. Attacking right to work laws is always a good idea.
This was another applicable homily for the Mass of the day, which is something that every priest should be hitting on. Morality's purpose is often to set the group apart from the world or the ambient culture. Humanae Vitae was a lame attempt to do so, as well as various other things, among them fighting gay marriage. Inclusion allows none of that - it requires a morality that is a gift to man, that is for man rather than man being for it. It is essentially humanistic. I should check our Roman Illuminati meeting and see if the Pope is attending.
