2025 May 11 SUN: FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER Acts 13: 14. 43-52/ Ps 100: 1-2. 3. 5/ Rv 7: 9. 14b-17/ Jn 10: 27-30 In my junior year of high school at Decatur St. Teresa, I was in a religion course called Social Justice. And in that course I learned about the social teaching of the Catholic Church, which began in 1891 with a writing called Rerum Novarum, that is, "of new things." And in this document, the new things being treated were the changes in society having come about as the result of the Industrial Revolution. And this writing championed the rights of workers so that they might not find themselves as mere cogs in a money-making machine, but that they might be respected in the fullness of their humanity, in the depth of their gifts. This caught my attention because my father was a factory worker at the Decatur Plant of Caterpillar Incorporated. And this is what I needed to hear because I was thinking about the priesthood, but apparently I needed to hear something which would secure for me a sense of the credibility of the Church. And I found it when I heard about this social teaching. The Pope who issued Rerum Novarum in 1891 was Leo XIII. Now we have all experienced some amazing events in these past few days, and I can well imagine that you are expecting to hear from me something like, "Oh, Pope Leo, personal friend of mine." No. We are two years apart in age. The thing that we have to keep in mind is that we were on different tracks: he as a member of a religious order, the Augustinians, while I was studying to be a diocesan priest. And it is of some interest that there is some overlap. Two instances. I went to St. Louis in 1977 for my third and fourth years of college seminary. And in that same year, 1977, Pope Leo went to St. Louis for his novitiate period. And no, we did not run into each other. And then we were also studying canon law in Rome at the same time. But we were at two different universities. So there is no possibility of my claiming some kind of closeness. But I go back to the thing that sparked my sense of the credibility of the Church back when I was in high school. Robert Francis Prevost took the name Leo XIV because of what Leo XIII wrote about justice. And he said as much to the Cardinals yesterday. And for that reason, I feel a kinship with Pope Leo because our minds and our hearts are on the same thing. We want to see every human being in the world realizing their dignity first of all as being created by God the Father and by being lifted up by the love of Jesus for all of us. Now, our bulletin deadline is Tuesday. And I realized, well, I won't have anything about a new pope. And I suspected we'd have a new pope by Friday. Well, it came on Thursday. But I had the bulletin deadline. So I wrote something about the writings of Pope Francis. And it turns out again yesterday as he was addressing the Cardinals that the first apostolic exhortation of Pope Francis, which I mentioned on the front of the bulletin today, was also cited by Pope Leo yesterday. And he intends to continue all that Pope Francis has taught. I am grateful for that. Now, this happens to be Good Shepherd Sunday, quite aptly. And we have an account of the difficulties that Paul and Barnabas ran into in proclaiming the Good News. We also have a very joyful image from the Book of Revelation about all the people in white garments who have been washed in the Blood of the Lamb. And again, the Lamb who had been slain is at the center there. And then Jesus, speaking about shepherding, notes the fact that sheep are very good at distinguishing voices. And we pray that we, every one of us, will be attuned as we get to know this new pope and as we consider all the teaching of the People of God, the Church. That we will hear the voice of the Shepherd.
POPE LEO XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost, was elected this week to succeed Pope Francis, becoming the first American pope in history. We discuss the possible reasons for Leo's choice of that papal name. Pope Leo XIII, who served 1878–1903, is remembered for emphasizing the veneration of Mary and her status as “Mediatrix” and “Co-Redemptrix.” (There is no blblical support for the role of Mary in our redemption.) Leo XIII was also known for championing the rights of workers to fair wages and safe working conditions during the Industrial Revolution. Leo I, also called Leo the Great, was pope between 440 and 461 AD. He's remembered for laying the theological foundation for the Council of Chalcedon, which defined the nature of Jesus as both human and divine in one person, but perhaps best known for meeting with Attila the Hun and talking the barbarian out of invading Italy.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA historic moment has arrived for Catholics worldwide as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost becomes Pope Leo XIV—the first American pontiff in the Church's 2,000-year history. This Chicago-born Augustinian, who spent much of his ministry in Peru, stands as the 267th successor to the Apostle Peter, breaking precedent in ways few expected to witness in their lifetimes.The announcement "Habemus Papam" echoes with particular significance as this 69-year-old cardinal steps onto the world stage. What makes this papal election especially intriguing is that Cardinal Prevost remains something of a mystery on many pressing Church issues. As veteran Vatican observers note, his positions on controversial matters aren't widely documented, making hasty judgments premature. History teaches us that cardinals often govern differently than expected once they assume the papacy—just look at Pius IX or Leo XIII, whose name our new pope has chosen.Already, Pope Leo XIV has made notable choices: delivering the apostolic blessing in Latin, appearing in traditional vestments, and seeming visibly moved by the moment's gravity. These initial signs defy simple categorization into progressive or traditional camps. The weight of guiding 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide is undoubtedly overwhelming, and this unprecedented American papacy deserves our prayers and patience. Rather than rushing to conclusions, let's support our new Holy Father as he navigates the enormous responsibility of leading the Church through challenging times ahead. Share your thoughts on this historic moment and join us in praying for unity, love, and peace for all the world under Pope Leo XIV's guidance.Key items• Born in Chicago, the 69-year-old Augustinian has spent most of his ministry in Peru• Despite immediate reactions on social media, Cardinal Prevost remains "largely a mystery" on major Church issues• Historical precedent shows cardinals can govern differently than expected once they become pope• The new pope gave his first apostolic blessing in Latin and wore traditional garments• He appeared emotional while standing on the Loggia after his introduction• As Pope Leo XIV, he has chosen a name respected by both conservative and progressive CatholicsNEW Pope Leo XIV's Cardinals profile https://collegeofcardinalsreport.com/cardinals/robert-francis-prevost/Please remember to pray for our new Holy Father as he takes on this monumental responsibility of guiding the Church through challenging times.

Send us a text by clicking this link!A fascinating dive into the collision between traditional Catholic values and modern digital culture as we examine viral videos of priests creating TikTok dances that compromise clerical dignity. The episode opens with a critical analysis of this troubling trend, connecting it to Leo XIII's warning about preserving the modesty and gravity befitting the priesthood in a world obsessed with social media influence.We tackle a profound question that reveals much about our cultural understanding of marriage: "Who comes first—your mother, daughter, or wife?" The responses from men in a street interview expose a deeply disordered view of family hierarchy, with most claiming wives are "replaceable." We explore the theological foundation for why spouses must prioritize each other above all other relationships, and how this proper ordering creates healthy families. The discussion connects these misplaced priorities to broken family structures and absent fathers, highlighting how what children witness shapes their understanding of love and commitment.The conversation shifts to a deeper exploration of patron saints that moves beyond standard apologetics approaches. Rather than simply defending devotion to saints with Scripture passages, we examine their cosmic significance as spiritual guardians over regions and cities—filling roles once claimed by pagan deities and demonstrating how Christianity transformed cultural landscapes throughout history.Perhaps most valuably, we critique the limitations of typical "Catholic Answers" style apologetics when engaging with sophisticated Protestant theological arguments. While standard apologetics works against evangelical fundamentalism, it often fails to address the nuanced arguments from classical Reformed theology. This segment challenges listeners to deepen their theological understanding beyond mere talking points.The episode concludes with a touching story about the power of family prayer, as a father shares his experience praying the rosary with his speech-impaired four-year-old son who persevered through an hour-long prayer despite his limitations.

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: https://n9.cl/q0xhy The Church and the People By Joseph McCabe Narrated by Oberon Michaels As socialism became an increasingly powerful movement in the later nineteenth century, the Catholic Church sought to assure workers that organized Christianity had always been their friend. One of the most notable documentary icons of the period was the papal encyclical Rerum Novarum, in which Leo XIII attempted to articulate a set of industrial principles that would counter the claims of socialism. Furthermore, the Catholic Church has consistently claimed to be a major player in the diminution and eventual abolition of slavery. In this book secular scholar and historian Joseph McCabe attacks these claims with his heaviest historical weapons. In a short and clear account of the development of the European worker since the days of Roman slavery, he sets out a savage indictment of Christianity and its industrial philosophy.
The Miracle of the Sun, key messages at Akita, Leo XIII's vision of the dialogue between Jesus and Satan, all occurred on October 13. The message in the timing should be obvious.

1 And after these things the Lord appointed also other seventy-two: and he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come.Post haec autem designavit Dominus et alios septuaginta duos : et misit illos binos ante faciem suam in omnem civitatem et locum, quo erat ipse venturus. 2 And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send labourers into his harvest.Et dicebat illis : Messis quidem multa, operarii autem pauci. Rogate ergo dominum messis ut mittat operarios in messem suam. 3 Go: Behold I send you as lambs among wolves.Ite : ecce ego mitto vos sicut agnos inter lupos. 4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way.Nolite portare sacculum, neque peram, neque calceamenta, et neminem per viam salutaveritis. 5 Into whatsoever house you enter, first say: Peace be to this house.In quamcumque domum intraveritis, primum dicite : Pax huic domui : 6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you.et si ibi fuerit filius pacis, requiescet super illum pax vestra : sin autem, ad vos revertetur. 7 And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.In eadem autem domo manete, edentes et bibentes quae apud illos sunt : dignus est enim operarius mercede sua. Nolite transire de domo in domum. 8 And into what city soever you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.Et in quamcumque civitatem intraveritis, et susceperint vos, manducate quae apponuntur vobis : 9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.et curate infirmos, qui in illa sunt, et dicite illis : Appropinquavit in vos regnum Dei. Leo XIII proclaimed St Vincent the patron of all charitable associations. He was the founder of the Lazarists or the Priests of the Mission, and the Sisters of Charity, He died A.D. 1660.
June is the month of the Sacred Heart for the Catholic Church, and we explore the ramifications of this devotion not only for the inner life of the individual, but for the Social Life of the Church. Leo XIII shows up quite a bit as well!
• The Audio Podcast of this Rosary is Available Here Now! Friends of the Rosary, St. Joseph has two feast days on the liturgical calendar. The first is March 19—Joseph, the Saint Husband of Mary. The second is May 1—Joseph, the Worker. Today, the Holy Catholic Church presents us the example of Saint Joseph the Worker to all laborers. This is a feast day established by Pope Pius XII in 1955 to Christianize the concept of labor and give all workmen a model and a protector. The husband of the Blessed Mother Mary offered to God his daily labor as a carpenter with patience and joy. St. Joseph provided for the necessities of Mary and Jesus. Another Pope, Leo XIII, wrote wisely: "Workmen and all those laboring in conditions of poverty will have reasons to rejoice rather than grieve, since they have in common with the Holy Family daily preoccupations and cares" Pope John Paul II said, "Saint Joseph is a man of great spirit. He is great in faith, not because he speaks his own words, but above all because he listens to the words of the Living God. He listens in silence. And his heart ceaselessly perseveres in the readiness to accept the Truth contained in the word of the Living God." Joseph was a compassionate man, and obedient to the will of God. He is the patron of many things, including the universal Church, fathers, the dying, and social justice. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. Joseph, Pray for Us! To Jesus through Mary! Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • May 1, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

Depending on who you ask, former Congressman Dan Lipinski is something of a rare specimen, endangered species - or perhaps even a white martyr.He represented the 3rd congressional district of Illinois in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2005 to 2021.Among his claims to fame is maintaining both his Democratic Party affiliation and a staunchly pro-life voting record, even in the midst of his party leadership adopting permissive and militant policy positions in favour of abortion.This courage played a huge role in the party establishment and activists mobilizing to defeat him in the Democratic primary for his House seat in early 2020, and thus close the curtain on his service in elected office.In this episode, we talk with Congressman Lipinski about what it's like being the last pro-life man standing in a political party; the role of faith in public life; the state of U.S. politics and the 2024 election campaign; evangelizing the culture and restoring its capacity to love; and what insights Pope Leo XIII may have for us in the current political moment.Congressman Lipinski holds a Ph.D in political science. He serves as Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, and Pope Leo XIII Fellow on Social Thought at the University of Dallas. He's also the President of his own consulting firm, Lipinski Solutions.Resourceshttps://danlipinski.com/ (official website)@DanLipinski2Daniel Lipinski, “Be Catholic First”, First Things (November 2022)Pope Leo XIII, Sapientiae Christianea / On Christians as Citizens (January 1890)podcast@crownandcrozier.comwww.crownandcrozier.comtwitter.com/crownandcrozierPlease note that this podcast has been edited for length and clarity.

If you're a regular consumer of Catholic and Christian media, there's a good chance that you've come across the term “integralism."“Integralism” refers to the school of thought which says that the Church can direct the State to adopt policies which advance the ends of the Church and help enforce Church law.Sounds wild, doesn't it?And yet, if you look more closely, there's actually a lengthy record of Church teaching tilting in the direction of what integralists assert.Integralism engages fundamental questions about what it means to be subject to Christ's kingship and to the legitimate authority of the State. So it's little wonder that the topic is capable of igniting spirited views on either side.This episode is the first installment in a two-part series planned by Crown and Crozier, in which our objective is to give integralism a fair hearing.Our guest is Dr. Kevin Vallier, who recently authored a detailed critique of integralism entitled All the Kingdoms of the World: On Radical Religious Alternatives to Liberalism.Dr. Vallier has written several books on political philosophy and currently serves as Associate Professor at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, where he also directs the university's program in Philosophy, Politics, Economics and Law.ResourcesKevin Vallier (official website)Kevin Vallier, All the Kingdoms of the World: On Radical Religious Alternatives to LiberalismThomas Pink, In Defence of Catholic Integralism, Public Discourse (August 12, 2018)Kevin Vallier, What is integralism?

But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour?Ille autem volens justificare seipsum, dixit ad Jesum : Et quis est meus proximus? 30 And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.Suscipiens autem Jesus, dixit : Homo quidam descendebat ab Jerusalem in Jericho, et incidit in latrones, qui etiam despoliaverunt eum : et plagis impositis abierunt semivivo relicto. 31 And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by.Accidit autem ut sacerdos quidam descenderet eadem via : et viso illo praeterivit. 32 In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by.Similiter et Levita, cum esset secus locum, et videret eum, pertransiit. 33 But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him; and seeing him, was moved with compassion.Samaritanus autem quidam iter faciens, venit secus eum : et videns eum, misericordia motus est. 34 And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.Et appropians alligavit vulnera ejus, infundens oleum et vinum : et imponens illum in jumentum suum, duxit in stabulum, et curam ejus egit. 35 And the next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee.Et altera die protulit duos denarios, et dedit stabulario, et ait : Curam illius habe : et quodcumque supererogaveris, ego cum rediero reddam tibi. 36 Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?Quis horum trium videtur tibi proximus fuisse illi, qui incidit in latrones? 37 But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner.At ille dixit : Qui fecit misericordiam in illum. Et ait illi Jesus : Vade, et tu fac similiter. Born at Verdu, in Spain, in 1584: died in Carthagena (Columbia) on Sep 8, 1654: canonized by Leo XIII on Jan 15, 1888. Twenty seven years of devotedness in the service of the slaves justified the signature which Peter Claver affixed chart "Peter, slave of the slaves forever". Nearly 300,000 received baptism at his hand. He welcomed them, instructed them, gave them alms and nursed them in every sort of malady. Leo XIII proclaimed him special patron of the protector of the Negroes.
Guest host Marcus Peters discusses Unity in the Eucharist with Owen Vyner, Peggy Stanton looks to the separation of the Wheat and Tares, and Matthew Bunson discusses the legacy of Leo XIII, Rerum Novarum, and the Synod on Synodality.

"The Litany of the Sacred Heart was put in its present form by Leo XIII in 1899. At first sight, it can seem a bit strange, with a few unfamiliar images, such as 'Heart of Jesus, desire of the eternal hills, have mercy on us.' But we can truly be blessed if we pray this wondrous litany, a true treasure of Christian prayer, and discover the rich biblical meaning of its individual invocations... Like the Rosary, the litany is a repetitive prayer, and the repetition of 'Have mercy on us' after each line is, in fact, like our regularly repeating heartbeat, very calming: once we meditate on the references, it gives us insight into the love of God for us in Jesus, and it gives us serenity through the heartbeat of its repetitive pattern." - Cardinal Thomas Collins Watch Catholic Latte on YouTube and Facebook.

Friends of the Rosary: Today is the memorial day of St. Joseph the Worker. On this day, we see human labor in the light of faith. Pope Pius XII established this feast in 1955 to give all workmen a model and protector. We honor the chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, in the month dedicated to the Blessed Mother. St. Joseph offered his daily work to God with patience and joy, becoming an example to all laborers. He provided for the necessities of his holy spouse and the Incarnate Son of God. Leo XIII rightly wrote:“Workmen and all those laboring in conditions of poverty will have reasons to rejoice rather than grieve since they have in common with the Holy Family daily preoccupations and cares” Pope Pius XII expressed the hope that this feast would accentuate the dignity of labor and would bring a spiritual dimension to labor unions.

Month Dedicated to the Holy Family | Word and Songs Podcast with Sr. Lines Salazar, fsp The month of February is dedicated to the Holy Family. This special devotion, which proposes the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph as the model of the virtue of all Christian households began in the 17th century. It started almost simultaneously in Canada and France: the Association of the Holy Family was founded in Montreal in 1663, and by the Daughters of the Holy Family in Paris in 1674. This devotion soon spread and in 1893, Leo XIII expressed his approval of a feast under this title and himself composed part of the Office. On account of the flight into Egypt, this feast has been observed by the Copts from early times. The feast was welcomed by succeeding Pontiffs/ as an efficacious means for bringing home to the Christian people the example of the Holy Family at Nazareth, and by the restoration of the true spirit of family life, stemming, in some measure, the evils of present-day society. Honoring the Holy Family beginning during its traditional month, February, is a major way to restore the family to its truly God-given place. We easily remember that October is the month dedicated to the Holy Rosary; May is the month dedicated to our Blessed Mother; and June is to the Sacred Heart. Monthly dedications don't stop there. But for a number of recent years, we have let slip such months as February. But how much do we remember or hear that February is a month dedicated to the Holy Family? Friends, this February we should restore that devotion. It would both honor the Holy Family and at the same time becomes a reminder to strengthen our own family life. After all, the Church has taught how the Holy Family is the model, the example, for all families. As St. John Paul II said, “the family of Nazareth is a model for every home.” Honoring the Holy Family throughout February — and continuing beyond the month — and beginning to imitate them in our own families, we will, as John Paul II told us in his Letter to Families, “come to appreciate the grandeur of the goods of marriage, family and life; so that [we] will come to appreciate the great danger which follows when these realities are not respected, or when the supreme values which lie at the foundation of the family and of human dignity are disregarded.”

Unions were once an essential component of the U.S. economy. For generations, unions safeguarded the rights of workers and ensured a better way of life for working-class families. Although not everyone regarded unions with uncritical approval, many families were proud of their union affiliation. But in recent decades, things have changed. Unions have less influence than they once did, fewer workers are union members, and even working-class citizens often eye unions with distrust. Many Catholics, especially those who are politically conservative, are likely to be wary of unions. But should they be? In this, the pilot episode of the Glad You Asked podcast, hosts Emily Sanna and Rebecca Bratten Weiss ask Stephen Schneck how Catholics ought to regard labor unions. Schneck formerly taught politics at the Catholic University of America, where he was also the Director of CUA's Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies. He has served on the Board of Directors for Catholic Mobilizing Network and for Catholic Climate Covenant, Sojourners, Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, and for Democrats for Life of America. He served as national co-chair of Catholics for Obama in 2012 and Catholics for Biden in 2020. He has also been executive director of the Franciscan Action Network. And in June 2022, the White House announced Schneck's appointment to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom. Schneck has also written extensively for U.S. Catholic on topics relating to politics, church teaching, economics, and labor.

In 1899, pope Leo XIII wrote a letter to Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, condemning something called "Americanism." Many contemporary Catholic historians and scholars have claimed that "Americanism" is a phantom, a term of abuse by "conservative" Catholics hurled at their opponents. In this episode, we will talk about what "Americanism" is and and isn't, the American Church in the 19th century, and why pope Leo XIII condemned the ideas associated with the term "Americanism."

The latest episode in our series on Catholic Liberalism is now available. "Eclipse, 1870-1905," begins in the aftermath of Vatican I, when the Church faced even greater hostility from liberal governments, making the position of Catholic Liberals even more difficult. The Ralliement under Leo XIII seems to embrace Catholic liberal ideals, but its failure followed by the condemnation of Americanism and the final separation of Church and State in France put an end to liberal hopes. Finally, we explore how the intellectual and social dimensions of Catholic Liberalism fed into the Modernist Crisis of the early 20th century. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/churchcontroversies/support

From January 29 - February 20, 2022, the eyes of the world were upon Ottawa, Canada as hundreds of truck drivers and thousands of their supporters engaged in the self-styled “Freedom Convoy” protest against COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates.In this episode of Crown and Crozier, we examine the Freedom Convoy through the lens of key tenets of the Catholic Church's teaching – especially St. Thomas Aquinas' formula for what constitutes just law and the principles that underlie when civil disobedience is permissible.In particular, we pose the following questions:According to the Catholic Church, what constitutes authentic human freedom?Was the Freedom Convoy justified in protesting against COVID restrictions which may not have fulfilled the criteria for just laws? Could a Catholic participate in the Freedom Convoy in good conscience?Our guest is Dr. Mary Catherine Sommers, Professor Emerita of Philosophy and past director of the Center for Thomistic Studies at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas.Documents/Websites referenced St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, 1st part of the 2nd part: Q90Catechism of the Catholic Church, Paragraph 2242 (refusing obedience to civil authorities)Pope Leo XIII, Sapientiae Christianae - Encyclical on Christians as Citizens (1890)Mark R.

“Hence, it is clear that the main tenet of socialism—community of goods—must be utterly rejected, since it only injures those whom it would seem meant to benefit, is directly contrary to the natural rights of mankind, and would introduce confusion and disorder into the commonweal.” Rerum Novarum—literally meaning “Of New Things,” but more accurately translated, “Of Revolutionary Change,”—was Pope Leo XIII's response to the political upheaval of the 19th century. Issued on May 15, 1891, Rerum Novarum set forth a definitive word on these “new things”, and laid the groundwork for much of the development of the Church's social thought through the 20th century. Today, Rerum Novarum is considered a foundational text of Catholic social teaching. Covering everything from property rights to trade unions, to questions of wages and the relationship of man to the State, Rerum Novarum is a sweeping document that is at once comprehensive and accessible. There's no need to be a political philosopher or economist here. Leo XIII develops his arguments in a methodical and straightforward way, and states plainly that human society can be healed in no other way than in a return to Christian life and Christian institutions. Originally released on this podcast in two parts, Rerum Novarum is now available to be listened to in a single continuous episode.

Rerum NovarumFor those of you who are Catholics, I have bad news for you. There was a time in the 1800s when your church went over the edge, in terms of what you value today. It renounced reading of unapproved books, it renounced what you would think of as education, it renounced curiosity, and it even renounced the existence of Germany and Italy. (The pope had a vested interest in the non-existence of Italy given that he was the ruler of his own state, which got absorbed into Italy. Anyone who voted in an Italian election or served the Italian state in any way was excommunicated. To be honest they made themselves irrelevant, so that large numbers of Italians marched away from the church. This is called anti-clerical). This 1891 encyclical, by Leo XIII, one of the great popes, reversed that disastrous tendency, and tried to drag the Church into the modern age. An encyclical is important not because it repeats what the Church has already said – the rich should give charity to the poor. That's not new – but because it says something the Church has never said before. These are called New Teachings. This encyclical has three new teachings. Those are identified along the way. An encyclical is an official teaching by the pope. The word means Letter and borrows from the epistles (letters) of Paul in the New Testament. Encyclicals have numbered paragraphs to make it easier to discuss. The podcast makes reference to those numbers throughout. It is possible to listen to this podcast without the text in front of you, but this is a case where I would recommend that you download the encyclical and read along. I will attach a link. This was a class lecture. How would we classify this pope? He is definitely a classical conservative in the sense of Disraeli. He clearly has Lockean impulses. He is a cultural conservative in the sense of gender issues. He is NOT a Ronald Reagan conservative. (“The most frightening words in the English language are, I'm from the government and I'm here to help”). He clearly wants to save the capitalist system and to reinforce the power structure and make it work more effectively. He feels a bit of nostalgia for the past but is realistic that we cannot turn back history. He wants the Church to play a role in the future in terms of creating and shaping parties and unions. Would you call him a paternalistic Disraeli cautious reformer? That is an awkward term but I can't think of any that is better. Note: I think the Pope was answering the Communist Manifesto, even though he never mentions Marx. See if you agree. http://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_l-xiii_enc_15051891_rerum-novarum.html
Full Text | Intro: One of the aims of The Josias is to translate integralist texts into English. From the commentaries and disputations of the great Baroque scholastics, to the writings of 20th century continental traditionalists, to the teachings of the popes before Leo XIII— many of the most important integralist writings are not yet available to anglophone readers. We begin our series with Quare Lacrymae, a speech of Pope Pius VI's, which arguably begins the “modern” phase of Catholic social teaching.
27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B, October 2nd-3rd A Marriage Morning of Reflection We have reflected a lot on the centrality of Marriage to a civilization. Leo XIII, in his encyclical titled “On Socialism” states that the foundation of a society rests first of all in the indissoluble union of man and wife. We can also see the centrality of marriage looking at the teaching of those who hate the notion of marriage and have made it their project to tear marriage apart. Kate Millet was the author of “Sexual Politics”, published in 1970. There she decried the patriarchy of the monogamous nuclear family. Her sister Mallory recounts attending a meeting with Kate Millet and her communist apparatchiks. “We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back and forth recitation, like a litany, a type of prayer done in the Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice: “Why are we here today?” Kate asked. “To make revolution” they answered. “What kind of revolution?” Kate replied. “The cultural revolution,” they chanted. “And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” Kate demanded. “By destroying the American family!” they answered. “How do we destroy the family?” Kate came back. “By destroying the American Patriarch” they cried exuberantly. “And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied. “By taking away his power!” they said. “How do we do that?” Kate asked. “By destroying monogamy!” they shouted. “How do we destroy monogamy?” Kate asked. “By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexual acts!” they resounded” (The Devil and Karl Marx, by Paul Kengor, pg. 366) But instead of railing against the evils of divorce, I would like to actually do something about strengthening marriages. Besides, if you are here, you are likely not the people that need to hear about the importance of marriage and family. When I first came to Annunciation, but before I was assigned to Saint Paul's, I brought out a friend Dr. Eric Gudan to give a morning of reflection on marriage. It was offered to single people, people preparing for marriage, and also to married couples. I am doing that again. I have been communicating with Dr. Gudan, and he has committed to coming sometime in November or early December. I will get that date out to you as soon as it is nailed down. Everyone who attended his talks and exercises 8 years ago found them extremely entertaining and revitalizing. I am also offering a $200 gift to card to St. Elmo's to one lucky couple or single person who attends. Breakfast from Panera will be provided at St. Paul starting at 8:30 am. Again, marriage is under attack, and we all probably already know that. Let's work on our marriage, or make ourselves a better spouse even before we get married. What God has joined together, may no man break asunder.

Background to Catholicism. Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask.This is an introduction to the Catholic Church. We start at 1868 when Italy became a country and the pope was stripped of his “temporal” power, i.e., he stopped being the ruler of a state. He got very irritated and renounced the very existence of Italy and Germany. Not good. The Church shifted to a very right wing position during those decades. This withdrawal from the world was reversed in 1891 with the encyclical Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII. There is a separate podcast on that significant encyclical. This podcast will walk you through the organization of the Church, some key concepts of theology and organization, some issues that came up (such as secular government, papal infallibility, the Dreyfus Affair, and what Catholics can read or think). We will also talk about the structure of the Church and the role of the College of Cardinals. Here are some names and terms and concepts that will appear along the way.

The Church is having various national Synods in various far flung places in the world now, including Germany, Ireland, Australia, and others. Leo XIII gave guidance on what they should look like, and his words appear to have not been heeded.

[Comment: Dignity of Work] Friends of the Rosary: Today is the Memorial Day of St. Joseph the Worker, a feast established by the magisterium of the Church in order to dignify and Christianize the concept of work and give to all workmen a model and protector. This solemnity was established by Pope Pius XII in 1955 to also confront the perversity of communism and its related ideologies, since May 1 is celebrated in Godless Communist and Socialist countries as the Day of the International Solidarity of Workers. We see the right to work and the dignity of human labor in the light of faith as an opportunity to glorify God. The principles explained by Leo XIII in Rerum Novarum and John Paul II in Centesimus Annus should be the guide used by nations. We follow the example of St. Joseph and the holy family. By his daily labor, the Patron of the universal Church, provided for the necessities of his holy spouse and of the Incarnate Son of God. He performed his job with patience and joy, becoming an example to all laborers. St. Joseph the Worker's festivity starts the month of May, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Joseph, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | TheRosaryNetwork.org, New York ___ "Workmen and all those laboring in conditions of poverty will have reasons to rejoice rather than grieve, since they have in common with the Holy Family daily preoccupations and cares" (Leo XIII). _ Daily Broadcast at 7:30 pm ET on YouTube.com/TheRosaryNetwork & Video after the Broadcast
Faith and Labor is a podcast video series exploring the history of Catholic Social Teachings and how it can be used to bridge divisions and guide humanity to solve the great challenges facing the working class. Hosted by John Andrechak of Laborlines and Evan Matthew Papp of Empathy Media Lab, they discuss history, scripture, encyclicals, current events, and how faith and love is needed to strengthen solidarity and heal a world in disarray. Episode 2 focuses on Quadragesimo Anno, which means "In the 40th Year" and is an encyclical issued by Pope Pius XI in 1931, 40 years after Leo XIII's encyclical Rerum novarum, further developing Catholic social teaching. Rerurm Novarum was also the focus of Episode 1 of Faith and Labor. We also discuss the Catholic Concept of Subsidiarity. And we discuss current headlines related to the Poor People’s Campaign and the Catholic Season of Lent. We would love to hear your feedback, ideas, and suggested guests for future shows, as we seek to promote what Pope Francis described in Fratelli Tutti as a more just and fraternal world where “Love shatters the chains that keep us isolated and separate; in their place, it builds bridges.” #LaborRadioPod #1U #UnionStrong

Just days before the election I thought it would be prudent to reflect on Leo XIII's famous short letter to the Catholics of America, which was written as a reminder of what our mission as Catholics truly is.

"Since, then, no one is allowed to be remiss in the service due to God, and since the chief duty of all men is to cling to religion in both its reaching and practice—not such religion as they may have a preference for, but the religion which God enjoins, and which certain and most clear marks show to be the only one true religion —it is a public crime to act as though there were no God." We’re releasing this episode just a couple of days before the 135th anniversary of Pope Leo XIII’s great encyclical letter 'On the Christian Constitution of States', Immortale Dei, first issued on November 1, 1885. We’re also releasing this just a few short days before the United States presidential election, at a time when the relationship between Church and State ought to be particularly relevant, especially to the mind of the Catholic voter. Indeed, in this encyclical, Pope Leo XIII urges Catholics to give particular attention to national politics, and to make use of popular institutions for the advancement of truth and goodness. He warns that, were Catholics to abdicate the field of politics, it would “allow those whose principles offer but small guarantee for the welfare of the State to more readily seize the reins of government.” The question came up most recently in American civic life with the successful confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barret to the U.S. Supreme Court. During her hearings, we saw what Pope Leo would term “a hackneyed reproach of old date” in the not-so-subtle accusations that Justice Barret’s professed Catholicism would somehow compromise the discharge of her civil duty. Such anti-Catholic invectives have, notably, been entirely absent when it has come to the professed Catholicism of a certain presidential nominee. The reason why should be obvious for anyone with eyes to see. There, too, Leo condemns the politically expedient side-lining of Catholic teaching, warning that, for Catholics, “It is unlawful to follow one line of conduct in private life and another in public, respecting privately the authority of the Church but publicly rejecting it.” He especially cautions those who would hold positions of authority, writing: “they must remember that the Almighty will one day bring them to account, the more strictly in proportion to the sacredness of their office and preeminence of their dignity.” It is the right exercise of authority that is at the heart of Leo’s concern in Immortale Dei — and in particular, the right relationship between the authority of the Church and that of the State. Leo's is a corrective to the defective view of authority that arises from an incorrect view of liberty — and this theme of liberty, as opposed to license, predominates throughout Immortale Dei. In fact, Pope Leo would, less than three years after issuing Immortale Dei, follow up with another encyclical letter entitled Libertas, on the Nature of Human Liberty. We’re releasing this episode ahead of the U.S. election in the hopes that it may serve as a resource leading up to this great expression of civil responsibility, but also in witness to the fact that—whatever the outcome of this or any election—Christ remains the same; as does the perennial teaching of His Church; as does the law of charity, and the responsibility of the Christian.

Vatican II's Declaration on Religious Freedom, Humanis Dignitatae, begins by noting that its discussion of religious liberty “has to do with immunity from coercion in civil society” and so “leaves untouched traditional Catholic doctrine on the moral duty of men and societies toward the true religion and toward the one Church of Christ.” This episode is about discovering what that traditional doctrine was and is. Our main source will be Pope Leo XIII's encyclical Immortale Dei, which is available in audiobook form on CatholicCulture.org. Thomas Pink guides us through a close reading of this document (with supplementary material from Libertas and Longuinqua). Here, and in the magisterium of other 19th-century Popes, we find a number of teachings on Church and State that have gone largely unmentioned since the Council, and which are sadly forgotten or even rejected by the majority of self-described conservative Catholics. The core point is that the State, like the Church, receives its authority from God. Therefore the State has a duty of obedience to God, obedience which cannot be arbitrarily limited to what can be known by reason, excluding revelation. So, Leo says, the State has duties to profess, protect and foster religion, and not just any religion, but the true Faith: “The Church, indeed, deems it unlawful to place the various forms of divine worship on the same footing as the true religion, but does not, on that account, condemn those rulers who, for the sake of securing some great good or of hindering some great evil, allow patiently custom or usage to be a kind of sanction for each kind of religion having its place in the State.” Other points discussed are these: Leo's analogy comparing the relationship between Church and State to the harmony between soul and body. The evil consequences of the State's indifference toward God and true religion. The authority of the Church to coerce the baptized in fulfilling their religious duties, and to have the State act as its agent (all the while remembering that the State has no authority of its own to regulate the supernatural good of religion). Leo's condemnation of freedom of speech and opinion as commonly understood. It is clear that a docile and orthodox reading of Vatican II cannot lead us to dismiss prior teachings on Church and State. Yet this works both ways: Church teaching is is a unity, so when discussing these older teachings, we must also ask what is the nature Vatican II's teaching on religious liberty and how all of these teachings can be understood in light of one another. The key lies in the limited scope of Dignitatis Humanae, which from the outset intends only to address religious coercion by the State, and leaves the duties of the State towards religion untouched in both senses of the word. Though the Church's teaching on religious liberty is much further from the ideals of the American Founding than many careless readers of Dignitatis Humanae have assumed, American Catholics can and must love their country. Therefore we close with Pope Leo's friendly and encouraging words to the Church in America.

While the left continues crudely to paint America's founding as a mere expression of white supremacy, certain thinkers on the right have been making their own attack on American principles. They argue that America's founding principles are fundamentally a product of an Enlightenment liberalism incompatible with natural law and faith. They find in the Constitution seeds of moral relativism, leading inevitably to Obergefell and gender ideology. To this position Robert Reilly's new book America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding is a powerful rejoinder, arguing that the Founding's roots lie a few millennia further back than the Enlightenment. With superb scholarship, he examines the whole history of Western culture up to the Founding, beginning with the Greeks, Hebrews and early Christians, proceeding through the Middle Ages to the Protestant Revolt and the debate over the divine right of kings. It becomes clear that the American Founding was part of a millennium-long debate over the question of which is supreme, reason or will. This interview focuses primarily on the original explication of several important American constitutional principles in medieval ecclesiastical and secular law. At the end, Thomas poses some tough questions about the compatibility of the First Amendment with the teachings of Leo XIII about Church-state relations and free speech in Immortale Dei.

As many of you know, Working Man is the official podcast of Harmel Academy of the Trades, and as some of you may also know, we are located on the campus of Kuyper College in Grand Rapids, MI. Now, Harmel Academy is a Catholic school, and Kuyper College is a reformed school, and so you may be wondering how that works. Well, one way of getting into that conversation is to talk about Kuyper College's namesake, the Reformed theologian Abraham Kuyper. And on today's show, we have just the fella to help us do that. Beside being an old friend of mine, Dr. Jordan Ballor is a reformed theologian who edited the volume “Makers of Modern Christian Social Thought: Leo XIII and Abraham Kuyper on the Social Question”. Pope Leo XIII is often regarded as the father of modern Catholic Social Thought, and so I've asked Dr. Ballor to reflect on some of the significant points of overlap between Leo XIII and Kuyper. Today's show gets Catholic chocolate in Reformed peanut butter and Reformed peanut butter in Catholic chocolate, but if you think this is somehow going to be an exercise in dull theological speculation, you've got another thing coming. And there's even a brief appearance of boxing legend Mike Tyson (in reference, if not in actuality).

"Let the working man and the employer make free agreements, and in particular let them agree freely as to the wages; nevertheless, there underlies a dictate of natural justice more imperious and ancient than any bargain between man and man, namely, that wages ought not to be insufficient to support a frugal and well-behaved wage-earner." The second half of Leo XIII's classic encyclical offers a defense of the right of association, exhortation to preferential option for the poor, emphasis on the importance of Sabbath rest, as well as an explication of the principles of a just wage.

“Hence, it is clear that the main tenet of socialism — community of goods — must be utterly rejected, since it only injures those whom it would seem meant to benefit, is directly contrary to the natural rights of mankind, and would introduce confusion and disorder into the commonweal.” Rerum Novarum—literally meaning “Of New Things,” but more accurately translated, “Of Revolutionary Change,”—was Pope Leo XIII's response to the political upheaval of the 19th century. Issued on May 15, 1891, Rerum Novaum set forth a definitive word on these “new things”, and laid the groundwork for much of the development of the Church’s social thought through the 20th century. Today, Rerum Novarum is considered a foundational text of Catholic social teaching. Covering everything from property rights to trade unions, to questions of wages and the relationship of man to the State; it’s a sweeping document that is at once comprehensive and accessible. There’s no need to be a political philosopher or economist here. Leo XIII develops his arguments in a methodical and straightforward way, and states plainly that human society can be healed in no other way than in a return to Christian life and Christian institutions. In this first half, Pope Leo XIII lays out the problems, rejects socialism’s call for the abolition of private property, and identifies those rights and duties of the person and family that are prior to and independent of the State. He outlines the respective rights and duties of the worker and of the employer, affirming their mutual need for one another and calling them not only to cooperation, but to love. Today, when so many of the same social ills have reared their ugly head, Rerum Novarum is required reading for anyone looking to address the political and economic questions of today.

QUOD AUCTORITATE ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII PROCLAIMING AN EXTRAORDINARY JUBILEE Venerable Brethren, Health and Apostolic Benediction. 1. That which We, by the Apostolic authority, have more than once decreed, that an extraordinary year of Jubilee should be kept throughout the whole Christian world, and the treasures of heavenly gifts, the dispensation of which is in Our power, should be thrown open to the faithful-that with the favour of God We have determined to decree for the ensuing year. The advantages of this step will not escape you, Venerable Brethren, who are so familiar with the spirit of the age and the temper of the time, but there is a special reason now which makes Our decision seem more than usually opportune. In view of the fact that in Our recent Encyclical Letter We pointed out how important it is that the States should conform as closely as possible to truth and the Christian ideal, it will easily be understood how fitting it is that We should now use every effort to excite men, or to lead them back to the practice of Christian virtues. For a State is what the lives of the people make it: and just as the excellence of a ship or a house is dependent upon the good quality and the right adjustment of its component parts, so, unless the individual citizens lead good lives, the State cannot keep in the path of virtue, and without offending. Civil government and those things which constitute the public life of a country come into existence and perish by the act of men; and men almost always succeed in stamping the image of their opinions and their lives upon their public institutions. In order therefore that Our teaching may sink into men's minds, and what is the great thing, actually govern their daily lives, an attempt must be made to bring them to think and act like Christians, not less in public than in private. 2. And in this matter effort is the more needful because perils everywhere abound. The great virtues of our forefathers have in large measure disappeared; the most violent passions have claimed a freer indulgence; the madness of opinion which knows no restraint, or at least no effective restraint, every day extends further; of those whose principles are sound there are many who, through a misplaced timidity, are frightened, and have not the courage even to speak out their opinions boldly, far less to translate them into deeds; everywhere the worst examples are affecting public morals; wicked societies which We ourselves have denounced before now, skilled in all evil arts, are doing their best to lead the people astray, and as far as they are able, to withdraw them from God, their duty, and Christianity. 3. Amid these many and pressing evils, which are the more serious because they are already of long duration, nothing must be left undone by Us which can afford any hope of relief. With this purpose, and in this hope, We proclaim a sacred Jubilee to all those who have their salvation at heart, and need to be reminded and exhorted to raise their thoughts, now busied with worldly matters, to the contemplation of heavenly things. And this with a gain not merely to the individuals themselves, but to the whole future well-being of the commonwealth, because in proportion as individual citizens advance along the path of perfection, there is a corresponding increase in the general rectitude and probity, in the public life and morals of the nation. 4. But you will observe, Venerable Brethren, that success will largely depend upon your industry and zeal, as it will be needful to prepare the people properly and carefully if they are to reap the fruits which are to be placed before them. We commit it to your judgment and prudence to place this matter in the hands of priests whom you may select, that by discourses fitted to the capacity of the crowd they may instruct them, and above all exhort them to that penance which, according to St. Augustine, consists in "the daily chastisement of the good and the faithful followers of Christ in which we strike our breasts, saying forgive us our sins.'"(1) With good reason We mention here in the first place that part of penance which consists of the voluntary punishment of the body. You know the temper of the times - how many there are who love to live delicately and shrink from whatever requires manhood and generosity; who, when aliments come, discover in them sufficient reasons for no to beying the salutary laws of the Church, thinking the burden laid upon them more than they can bear, when they are told to abstain from certain kinds of food orto fast during a few days in the year. It is not to be wondered at if, weakened by these habits of indulgence, they gradually give themselves up body and soul to the more imperious passions. It is therefore necessary to recall to the paths of moderation those who have fallen or who are likely to fall through this sort of effeminacy. Therefore those who speak to the people should lay it down persistently and clearly that according not only to the law of the Gospel, but even to the dictates of natural reason, a man is bound to govern himself and keep his passions under strict control, and moreover, that sin cannot be expiated except by penance. That the virtue of which We have spoken may be durable, it will be prudent to put it in some sort under the safe guardand protection of a stable institution; you know well, venerable brothers, towhat We allude; We mean that you should continue each one in his own diocese to protect and propagate the Third Order, called the Secular Order, of the Franciscan Friars. To keep up the spirit of penance in the Christian multitude nothing is more effectual than the example and the grace of the Patriarch Francis of Assisi, who combined with the greatest innocence of life so much zeal for mortification that the image of Jesus Christ crucified was not less visible in his life and conduct than in the signs which were supernaturally impressed upon him. The laws of his Order, which We have modified for the times, are as light to bear as they are effectual for the practice of Christian virtue. 5. In the second place, as every hope of safety lies in the protection and succour of our Heavenly Father in the midst of so great private and public necessities, We would earnestly desire to see confidence united with the revival of an assiduous zeal in prayer. In every great crisis of Christendom, and every time the Church was afflicted by evils within or dangers without, our fore fathers, with their eyes lifted to Heaven in supplication, taught us how and when we should seek for the light of our souls, for the strength of virtue, andfor help suited to the need. For deeply engraved upon men's minds were these precepts of Jesus Christ: "Ask and it shall be given you;"(2) "We ought always to pray and not to faint."(3) And with this teaching the word of the Apostle corresponds: "Pray without ceasing;"(4) "I desire, therefore, first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men."(5) Upon which subject St. John Chrysostom has left us this saying, not less true than ingenious, in the form of a comparison: "Even as man, who comes into the light of day naked and wanting all things, has been end owed by nature with hands to procure for himself all the necessaries of life; so in supernatural things, seeing that of himself he can do nothing, he has received from God the faculty of prayer, that he may use it wisely for the obtaining of all that is needful to his salvation." 6. From all this, Venerable Brethren, each one of you may gather how agreeable to Us and how commendable is the zeal with which at Our suggestion you have spread the devotion to the Most Holy Rosary, especially in these last years. Nor can We pass over the popular piety which has almost everywhere been excited by this method of prayer. Now you must watch with the greatest care that this devotion be practiced with even greater and greater fervour, and that it be persevered in without failing. And if We insist upon this exhortation, as We have already done several times, not one of you will be surprised, for you understand how important it is that this habit of the Rosary of Mary should flourish among Christians. And you are perfectly aware that this is a part and a beautiful form of that spirit of prayer of which we speak, and that it is at once admirably suited to our times, easy to practice, and fruitful in results. But as the first and the chief fruit of the Jubilee must be, as We have already pointed out, amendment of life and progress in virtue, We deem especially necessary the avoidance of that evil which We have not neglected to point out in Our past Encyclicals. We allude to those internal, and, as it were, domestic dissensions among some of ourselves; dissensions of which it is hardly possible to say how much they break or relax the bonds of charity, to the great detriment of souls. If We recall this to you once more, Venerable Brethren, who are the guardians of ecclesiastical discipline and of mutual charity, it is that We desire to see your watchfulness and your authority always directed to the prevention of so great an evil. By your warnings, your exhortations, your reproaches, urge all "to keep the unity of spirit in the bond of peace," induce the authors of the dissensions, if such there be, to return to their duty by the consideration which they should ever keep in mind that the only-begotten Son of God, even at the approach of His last torments, asked nothing more urgently of His Father than the mutual love of those who believed, or should believe, in Him,"that they may all be one, even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us."(6) 7. Relying, therefore, on the mercy of the omnipotent God, and the authority of the Blessed Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul, and making use of that power of binding and loosing which our Lord has given to Us, though unworthy of it, We grant under the form of a General Jubilee a plenary indulgence to all the faithful of both sexes upon this condition and subject to this obligation, that during the coming year of 1886 they perform the things mentioned below. 8. The citizens and inhabitants of Rome must pay two visits to the Lateran, the Vatican, and the Liberian Basilicas, and pray there for some time to God according to Our intentions for the well-being and the exaltation of the Church, for the rooting out of all heresy, and for the conversion of all who are in error, and in accordance with Our intentions pour out prayers to God that concord may reign among Christian princes, and that peace and unity may be the lot of all the faithful. They must also fast for two days, only using the food usually allowed in times of penance, in addition to the forty days of Lent and other days set aside by the Church as fast days. They must also, after having properly confessed their sins, receive Holy Communion, and, in accordance with the advice of their confessor, give an alms, each according to his means, to the furthering of some work likely to promote the propagation and increase of the Catholic Church. Each may choose the object he prefers; but We think it well especially to name two, towards which assistance may be given with the greatest advantage; and of these each is an object which in many places is in need of help and aid, and fruitful in advantage, not less for the State than for the Church, We mean the Primary schools for boys and the Seminaries for the Clergy. 9. Those who reside outside Rome, in whatever part of the world they may live,must pay two visits at prescribed intervals to three churches to be appointed by you, Venerable Brethren, your Vicars or Officials, on your or their command, by those who have the charge of souls; or three visits if there are only two churches, or six visits if there is only one; and also must comply with all the conditions already laid down above. This indulgence may be applied by way of suffrage to the souls who have departed this life joined in charity with God. We give you power to reduce the number of the visits according to your judgment to certain churches in the case of chapters, congregations, as well secular as regular, communities, confraternities, universities, and colleges where the visits are made in procession. 10. Sailors and travellers may obtain the indulgence upon their return home, ortheir arrival at some fixed station, by visiting six times the principal church,or the parish church of the district, and complying with the other conditions which We have already laid down. In the case of regulars of either sex, and evenin the case of persons belonging to enclosed orders, and also in the case of all others, whether ecclesiastical or lay, who are prevented either because they arein prison, or through infirmity, or any other good reason, from fulfilling the above conditions, or some of them, the confessor has power to commute for other pious works, and also has power to dispense from Communion children who have not yet made their First Communion. Moreover, We grant to all and each of the faithful, both lay and ecclesiastic, secular and regular, of whatever order and institute, and even of those which ought to be specially named, that they should choose for the purpose of the Jubilee any approved confessor they like; nuns, novices, and other women living in the cloister may avail themselves of this power provided the confessor chosen is approved for nuns. To confessors up on this occasion, and while the time of this Jubilee lasts, We grant all the faculties which were granted by Our Letters Apostolic of February 15th, 1879, beginning with the words Pontifices maximi; always excepting the things which were excepted in those Letters. 11. Finally let all do their best to gain the graces of heaven during this time by a special devotion to the great Mother of God. For We wish this Jubilee to be placed under the patronage of the Most Holy Rosary of the Virgin; and with her assistance We are confident that there will be many whose souls, set free by the cleansing away of the stains of sin, will be renewed by faith and piety and justice, not only to the hope of eternal salvation, but also as an earnest of amore peaceful time. 12. As a pledge of heavenly graces and a witness to Our fatherly good will towards you, We give from the bottom of Our heart the Apostolic Benediction to you and your Clergy, and the whole people committed to your care and watchfulness. Given in Rome, at St. Peter's, on the twenty-second day of December, in the year 1885, the eighth of Our Pontificate. LEO XIII

SUPERIORE ANNO ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII ON THE RECITATION OF THE ROSARY Venerable Brethren, Health and Apostolic Benediction. Last year, as each of you is aware, We decreed by an Encyclical Letter that, to win the help of Heaven for the Church in her trials, the great Mother of God should be honoured by the means of the most holy Rosary during the whole of the month of October. In this We followed both Our own impulse and the example of Our predecessors, who in times of difficulty were wont to have recourse with increased fervour to the Blessed Virgin, and to seek her aid with special prayers. That wish of Ours has been complied with, with such a willingness and unanimity that it is more than ever apparent how real is the religion and how great is the fervour of the Christian peoples, and how great is the trust everywhere placed in the heavenly patronage of the Virgin Mary. For Us, weighed down with the burden of such and so great trials and evils, We confess that the sight of such intensity of open piety and faith has been a great consolation, and even gives Us new courage for the facing, if that be the wish of God, of still greater trials. Indeed, from the spirit of prayer which is poured out over the house of David and the dwellers in Jerusalem, we have a confident hope that God will at length let Himself be touched and have pity upon the state of His Church, and give ear to the prayers coming to Him through her whom He has chosen to be the dispenser of all heavenly graces. For these reasons, therefore, with the same causes in existence which impelled Us last year, as We have said, to rouse the piety of all, We have deemed it Our duty to exhort again this year the people of Christendom to persevere in that method and formula of prayer known as the Rosary of Mary, and thereby to merit the powerful patronage of the great Mother of God. In as much as the enemies of Christianity are so stubborn in their aims, its defenders must be equally staunch, especially as the heavenly help and the benefits which are bestowed on us by God are the more usually the fruits of our perseverance. It is good to recall to memory the example of that illustrious widow, Judith - a type of the Blessed Virgin - who curbed the ill-judged impatience of the Jews when they attempted to fix, according to their own judgment, the day appointed by God for the deliverance of His city. The example should also be borne in mind of the Apostles, who awaited the supreme gift promised unto them of the Paraclete, and persevered unanimously in prayer with Mary the Mother of Jesus. For it is indeed, an arduous and exceeding weighty matter that is now in hand: it is to humiliate an old and most subtle enemy in the spread-out array of his power; to win back the freedom of the Church and of her Head; to preserve and secure the fortifications within which should rest in peace the safety and weal of human society. Care must be taken, therefore, that, in these times of mourning for the Church, the most holy devotion of the Rosary of Mary be assiduously and piously observed, the more so that this method of prayer being so arranged as to recall in turn all the mysteries of our salvation, is eminently fitted to foster the spirit of piety. 3. With respect to Italy, it is now most necessary to implore the intercession of the most powerful Virgin through the medium of the Rosary, since a misfortune, and not an imaginary one, is threatening-nay, rather is among us.The Asiatic cholera, having, under God's will, crossed the boundary within which nature seemed to have confined it, has spread through the crowded shores of aFrench port, and thence to the neighbouring districts of Italian soil. - To Mary, therefore, we must fly - to her whom rightly and justly the Church entitles the dispenser of saving, aiding, and protecting gifts - that she, graciously hearkening to our prayers, may grant us the help they besought, and drive far from us the unclean plague. 4. We have therefore resolved that in this coming month of October, in which the sacred devotions to Our Virgin Lady of the Rosary are solemnised throughout the Catholic world, all the devotions shall again be observed which were commanded by Us this time last year. - We therefore decree and make order that from the 1st of October to the 2nd of November following in all the parish churches [curialibus templis], in all public churches dedicated to the Mother of God, or in such as are appointed by the Ordinary, five decades at least of the Rosary be recited, together with the Litany. If in the morning, the Holy Sacrifice will take place during these prayers; if in the evening, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed for the adoration of the faithful; after which those present will receivethe customary Benediction. We desire that, wherever it be lawful, the localconfraternity of the Rosary should make a solemn procession through the streetsas a public manifestation of religious devotion. 5. That the heavenly treasures of the Church may be thrown open to all, We hereby renew every Indulgence granted by Us last year. To all those, therefore, who shall have assisted on the prescribed days at the public recital of the Rosary, and have prayed for Our intentions - to all those also who from legitimate causes shall have been compelled to do so in private - We grant for each occasion an Indulgence of seven years and seven times forty days. To those who, in the prescribed space of time shall have performed these devotions at least ten times - either publicly in the churches or from just causes in the privacy of their homes - and shall have expiated their sins by confession and have received Communion at the altar, We grant from the treasury of the Church a Plenary Indulgence. We also grant this full forgiveness of sins and plenary remission of punishment to all those who, either on the feast day itself of Our Blessed Lady of the Rosary, or on any day within the subsequent eight days, shall have washed the stains from their souls and have holily partaken of the Divine banquet, and shall have also prayed in any church to God and His most holy Mother for Our intentions. As We desire also to consult the interests of those who live in country districts, and are hindered, especially in the month of October, by their agricultural labours, We permit all We have above decreed, and also the holy Indulgences gainable in the month of October, to be postponed to the following months of November or December, according to the prudent decision of the Ordinaries. 6. We doubt not, Venerable Brethren, that rich and abundant fruits will be the result of these efforts, especially if God, by the bestowal of His heavenly graces, bring an added increase to the fields planted by Us and watered by your zeal. We are certain that the faithful of Christendom will hearken to the utterance of Our Apostolic authority with the same fervour of faith and piety of which they gave most ample evidence last year. May our Heavenly Patroness, invoked by us through the Rosary, graciously be with us and obtain that, all disagreements of opinion being removed and Christianity restored throughout the world, we may obtain from God the wished for peace in the Church. - In pledge of that boon, to you, your clergy, and the flock entrusted to your care, We lovingly bestow the Apostolic Benediction. Given in Rome, at St. Peter's, the 30th ofAugust, 1884, in the Seventh Year of Our Pontificate. LEO XIII

In what was meant to be a look at viewer emails, Father Jenkins and Tom Naegele spent the hour discussing the papacy, infallibility, the conduct of various Popes before Vatican II and the ones since. Father looks at the practical policies of Pius IX, Leo XIII and later Popes, why their actions seemed to conflict with their oaths and purpose for being in office, and how this has all come to a head in the post-Conciliar church. This program was recorded 25 May 2016. Please visit wcbohio.com for more content.
Father Jenkins and Tom Naegele talk about Pope Leo XIII, why he's not a canonized saint, the situation of the Church during his pontificate and how he compares to Pope Pius IX, St. Pius X and others. Father then answers a question about the remains of St. Peter being found Rome, what they discovered and the development of the basilicas over St. Peter's tomb. Finally, as if to provide some contrast with Catholic Popes, a few remarks about the latest from Francis. Please visit wcbohio.com for more content.
De collecties die in het Vaticaan bewaard worden vullen 84 strekkende kilometer legplanken en bevatten documenten vanaf de achtste eeuw. Sinds het jaar 1198 lopen de grote reeksen ononderbroken door. Ze bieden unieke informatie over alle aspecten van de geschiedenis van het pausdom en het leven van de Kerk in alle werelddelen, over heiligen en ketters, maar ook over politieke en economische geschiedenis, over kunst en literatuur.

The full crew of Francis Watch returns to look at yet another disastrous month in the so-called pontificate of Francis Bergoglio. In this month's show, we cover a new heresy, that damned souls are merely annihilated, and do not suffer the pains of hell. If that wasn't enough for those in denial about the reality of who Francis is and what he wants, we also go on to discuss: * Cardinal Kasper's referring to Bergoglio's reign as a "paradigm shift" * The German Bishops indicating they feel no obligation to follow synodal directives * Francis' soaring popularity in America * Francis blaming "clericalism" for apostasy in Latin America * The advantages of publicizing that you will not be a pope for a long time * A new list of problems, including… * 1. refusing Communion to adulterers as "rude" * 2. an insistence that we must not "close doors" * 3. or "sit in judgement" Indeed, what is needed is a Year of Mercy, which in Bergoglio terms means, "Sin Boldly!" Conservatives continue to flounder around for defenses, and again Dr. de Mattei throws out specious examples, including Leo XIII’s Ralliement and St. Bruno’s resistance of Paschal II. We end by discussing Oscar Romero, the fact that the death penalty is now “inadmissible," and the fact that water is the "future of humanity." Regular guests His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn, rector of Most Holy Trinity Seminary in Brooksville, Florida, and Father Anthony Cekada, assistant pastor of St. Gertrude the Great Catholic Church in West Chester, Ohio, join host Stephen Heiner as they break down each of these talking points into detail and give historical perspective, but more importantly, orthodox Catholic teaching.

It's the cathedral of Rome and therefore the mother church of the world! Popes Innocent III and Leo XIII are buried there. Father Augustus Tolton of our diocese, a candidate for sainthood, was ordained there in 1886.
Leo XIII. war ein moderner Papst, der für Demokratie und Arbeiterrechte offen war, aber auch für traditionelle Marienfrömmigkeit und das Rosenkranzgebet. Am 11. Juni 1899 weihte er die Menschheit dem Herzen Jesu. Autor: Christian Feldmann

Andreas has been on The Good Catholic Life several times talking about his experiences as a Swiss Guard for Pope John Paul II and then his experience at the beatification of Bl. John Paul earlier this month. He also welcomed Michael Miller. Scot said he has know as Acton as an organization that talks about the role of free markets in the creation of a virtuous society. Michael said Acton was founded 20 years ago to look at the intersection of theology and moral philosophy on the one hand and business and economics and entrepreneurship on the other. Most people make their living in business and there's a rich tradition of the Church thinking about these matters. It is an ecumenical organization. Fr. Robert Sirico is a co-founder of the Institute 20 years ago. Father had left the faith as a young man and was very influenced by leftist causes and socialism. He once met a man with whom he had debates about economics and the man at one point remarked, "You know, you're delightfully dumb. You need to read something." And so he gave Fr. Sirico all these books that he began to read and slowly began to have a conversion away from left-wing radicalism to a sense that a free-market that allows people to live out their freedom and responsibility actually helps the poor better than his previous ideas. Then he had a re-conversion to the Catholic faith and entered the seminary where he found a lot of the radical ideas he'd left behind from when he was a leftist. When he was ordained he co-founded an institute to consider these questions. They made the decision to make it broad-based and engage it from a whole Christian perspective. The Institute does many things, including academic articles, books, and films. They are a research and educational institute. They do three main things: 1. Research, including a scholarly journal called "The Journal of Markets and Morality." They have a lot of serious scholarly books, lots of op-eds. 2. Education, including a summer conference of 600 people in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where they talk about the moral, economic, and theological foundations of a free society, called Acton University. They also have conferences around the world. 3. Media, including two documentaries, "Call of the Entrepreneur" and "the Birth of Freedom", both of which have been on PBS. They are working on a third documentary now on entrepreneurial solutions to poverty. Andreas said the beauty of the Acton Institute engages reason in such a way as to attract secular groups. Andreas is both a research fellow at Acton and the CEO of Seven Fund. Seven Fund approaches the challenge of dealing with poverty through entrepreneurial solutions primarily from a secular perspective, even though its work is informed by its principals' religious faith. Acton and Seven Fund have collaborated for about five years now. Seven approaches it from a cultural aspect, which includes religion. Before Scot worked for the Church, in his 20s, he thought he might have a call to the priesthood. A number of his colleagues at a consumer goods company told him that he was going from the devil to God. Scot said both Catholics in ministry and businesspeople think the two areas are opposed to one another, but what Scot has always liked about Acton is that it says we should be integrated people, not compartmentalizing work life from family life, and Acton provides help for this project. Michael said business is a moral enterprise, because it produces goods and services people need. People need consumer goods, like cleaning supplies, which is good. Peter Drucker said the purpose of business is to create a customer. To create and sustain a customer you need to provide a value to them. (Setting aside things that are objectively morally evil) Bl. John Paul said, a business is a community of persons who gather to make a livelihood and provide something people need. It provides opportunities for collaboration, for people to work together. Jobs help you grow up, to mature, to fulfill commitments. These virtues can transfer to your family life and social life. In a job you have to deal with other people and learn to control yourself. Business brings a common good. There is a movement now called corporate social responsibility, which currently includes this idea that corporations have to give back to society as if they took something in the first place. But corporations have given back by creating lots of value already. Just by the fact of being a corporation doesn't make them evil. Business can be an opportunity for moral evil, but it's also an opportunity for moral good. Andreas said there is a subconscious attitude that we seem to talk about business as if it were zero-sum, if I make money, you lose it. This isn't true. We "make" money, because we create new value. But the language of "giving back" implies that companies take something without creating something. That's the point of this movie, which Andreas recommends, called "The Call of the Entrepreneur," whose basic premise is that when you make something from nothing, God is present, because only God can create something good from nothing. So if we make a new business and create a new product, we know that God is with us, which makes us co-creators with God. Michael said the zero-sum fallacy--if I have a piece of the pie, you have less of the pie--is a really bad fallacy and leads to some very bad conclusions, including the myth of overpopulation. It misunderstands that everyone used to be poor 500 years ago, so how do you explain growth? Everyone asks the question, "How do you solve poverty?" but that's not the right question. They should ask, "Ask do you create wealth?" If you have a zero-sum game, it makes you defensive, you don't take risks. This is not the Health and Wealth Gospel. We are called to work. Theologically speaking, work does not come from after the Fall of Adam. We are called to be fruitful and multiply and make dominion. The Fall creates the toil of work. But work is a good thing, which John Paul II wrote about often: The dignity of work. All productive enterprise. **2nd segment:** Michael described some of the principles of a free market society and how they are undergirded by Christian principles. We sometime thinks of markets as guys on Wall Street exploiting the poor. While they do exist, markets are really networks of human relationships. They are people getting together and making exchanges for things that are beneficial for each other. In a competitive free market, people make an exchange if it's mutually beneficial. If it's not, then we trade with someone else or seek a better price. This is why a government can't control a market, because there are billions of transactions with all these individual preferences. To have a market economy, you need private property, to be able to have title to property in order to live out your freedom and to exchange it freely for goods and services. In Nicaragua, 70% of the land has no title, they don't know who owns it. If you don't have title, you can't use it as a collateral for a loan, people don't have addresses, you can't get credit. You also don't have incentive to improve it. Private property is not a given in most of the world. In the book, "The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else", Hernando de Soto makes this point. We think private property is normal, like fish don't realize they're in water. Private property is fundamental. Another condition is rule of law. You know your contracts will be enforced. Opportunities can take place because you know there will be fairness. Free association is the right to join together, whether business or unions or charities. There needs to be a culture of trust, a robust civil society, and human beings raised in families looking out for the long term, not just the short term. These ideas come directly out of the Judeo-Christian tradition. It's in the Ten Commandments, it's in the early Church fathers. In 1256, the first argument for free association was by St. Thomas Aquinas. Pope Leo XIII used this as the basis of his defense of unions. The Spanish scholastics in the 15th century wrote that it is wrong for governments to prevent the free exchange of goods if it benefits the common good. Adam Smith, the founder of modern free-market economics, said almost nothing original because it had all been said by the theological traditions of the middle ages. He just said it in a new way. The reason people don't know this is because most of this was in Confession manuals, guides for priests helping penitents make moral choices. The market economy did not come from the Enlightenment, but from the Christian medieval period. Serious scholars know there were no "dark ages". If those were the "dark ages," explain how the Cathedral of Chartres was so beautiful and so many modern buildings are so ugly. This is why good Christians can be free marketers. The Church doesn't have an economic policy, but it does have a moral orientation. People who support markets can be comfortable this a moral legitimate position to hold. Andreas said as a businessperson, it means he doesn't have to re-invent the wheel. The teaching of the Church is a compass he can use in business dealings. He has a compass with a direction, which is good for business. This is a great way to run a company because it makes you live a centered life, so you are the same person on the weekend as you are during the week. It also helps you to run a profitable company. Scot said free markets provide people with the most freedom, which corresponds with Catholic teaching on the dignity of the human person. A free market allows us to exercise our free will in a moral way. With the rule of law, the good actions are positively reinforced and bad actions are negatively reinforced. The Church is primarily concerned with the salvation of souls. She is also concerned with creating the conditions for human flourishing so that people live according to the Gospel. These conditions of human flourishing happen to be the same as that for wealth creation: private property, rule of law, etc. They respect human freedom. One of the problems with Communism was it took away the space for families to live out their responsibility and their freedom. Modern concepts of freedom are very broken and dangerous. The modern concept is that I will do whatever I want. But freedom separated from reason and truth is not freedom. Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict) said it's a diabolical "freedom." The free market is not just about doing whatever I want and consumerism and getting stuff. It must be oriented to reason and truth, so it must be in a framework that recognizes who the human person is. Those countries that allow for human freedom are the wealthiest because God made us free. Andreas quoted Bl. John Paul who said, True freedom allows me to do what I ought to do, not just what I feel like doing. Michael said that this is a famous quote by Lord Acton--"Liberty is not the ability to do what you want, but the right to do what you ought," one of the two quotes most people know. The other is "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." He was a Catholic historian in England concerned with the history of liberty. **3rd segment:** "The Birth of Freedom" tells the story of the Judeo-Christian roots of political and economic liberty. It is a myth that it came out of the Enlightenment to free people from the "shackles" or religion and superstition. They told the history of the importance that religion has played in human liberty. Featured in the movie was Rodney Stark, who wrote a book called "The Victory of Reason: How Christianity Led to Freedom, Capitalism, and Western Success", and he makes this case from a sociological pint of view. In the Middle Ages, you begin to see the development of representative government, markets, and capitalism. (Michael doesn't like to use "capitalism" because it's a Marxist term; he prefers "free market".) There was international banking and capitalism in the Eighth Century and in fact the "Dark Ages" were a time of great development for human liberty. It destroys the myth of the "Dark Ages," which unfortunately is perpetuated by some Protestants. The sources of human liberty come from Christian tradition. Scot said the movie answers the question "How is freedom born"? The marketing material for the movie poses the question: >But humans are separated by enormous differences in talent and circumstance. Why would anyone believe that all men are created equal? That all should be free? That all deserve a voice in choosing their leaders? Why would any nation consider this a self-evident truth? In a world that never lived with this maximization of freedom that the United States has over the past 200 years, it seems self-evident, but for most people throughout history it has not been. The Founding Fathers knew they were living off of a deep tradition; it's not a modern invention. Andreas said that while the Founding Fathers may have been Deists, not Christians or Catholic, they were products of their culture. They draw off the cultural wealth at their disposal. Michael said even Nietszche acknowledged that the way we understand a lot of things is influenced by Christianity. But cultural capital doesn't last forever. It needs to be renewed and that's what "Birth of Freedom" is about; to encourage people and teach people to renew these sources of human liberty. It is in the concept of the human person, created in the image of God, with freedom and rights and responsibilities that has been the transforming force in history. "The Call of the Entrepreneur" is based on Fr. Robert Sirico's book "The Entrepreneurial Vocation ". Entrepreneurship is a secondary vocation--after primary vocations like marriage or priesthood--and we are called to respond to our gifts. Our entrepreneurship brings benefits to society. Where societies will go depends on how they view the entrepreneur. They look at three entrepreneurs: a farmer, a banker from New York, and Jimmy Lai, a refugee from Communist China when he was 11 years old. He started working in a factory and learned English and he said for the first time he knew freedom. He came from a land of no opportunity and no freedom to a land of freedom and opportunity and now he's worth $4 billion. He's also a convert to Catholicism. He built not only wealth for himself, but all kinds of jobs and opportunities and better families. A person invests his money in a small enterprise, works hard, sacrifices year after year, struggling to get the business of the ground, hires people along the way, gives them good incomes so they can buy homes and educate their children. After decades of working to build this business, the person is now financially independent and living comfortably and suddenly--to many people-- he's a dirty capitalist exploiter. But what about all the value he's created, all the jobs? Not everyone is an entrepreneur, so we need them to create jobs for others. Andreas said of course there are people in business who have bad intentions. This is why religion is so important in the marketplace. This is why a public moral culture is important. If you are an entrepreneur, you can be an exploiter or a creator, depending on your mindset. What is your goal? To end life with the most money possible? Or to recognize that you are a steward and there is dignity in work and there is virtue in work. Scot said if you view the people you work with as real human people created by God and not just producers and consumers, then you find a lot more people want to work with you. When you have people who love the environment they're in and they like the people they work with and the sum is greater than the parts, then wealth is created. Michael said in order to have self-governance, you need self-governors. For a free market to be sustainable requires free oral people. Liberty is the delicate fruit of a mature civilization (Lord Acton). Immature people are not fit for self-governance. If we live in a dictatorship of relativism we will lose freedom. **4th segment:** Michael said he and Fr. Sirico have been part of a project called "Doing the Right Thing," organized by Chuck Colson and Prof. Robert George. It is an ethics curriculum that deals with many of these questions of business and ethics. * [Doing the Right Thing](http://www.colsoncenter.org/ethics) Another initiative approaches the problem of poverty through entrepreneurship and is called PovertyCure. Scot reads from the website: "We all are called to a loving and generous concern for the poor. Yet while many of us have a heart for the poor, more than 1 billion people--one sixth of the world population--live on about $1 per day. Every year millions of men, women, and children die from AIDS, malaria, and other preventable diseases. Tens of millions lack clean water and go to bed hungry." * [PovertyCure](http://www.povertycure.org/) The typical way that developed economies have responded to the challenge haven't produced results over the past decades. Andreas said the questions is now why there is poverty, because we are all born people and we all started out poor. The question is how to create wealth. To approach poverty as a problem is the wrong approach. John Paul said we should stop looking at the poor as a problem, by start looking at them as an opportunity, people with a latent potential. Scot said it's not about creating big bank accounts, but creating wealth in the form of drinking water and food, clothing. Andreas said we should call it prosperity. It is a complex issue with many aspects to it. We can look at the aspect of the culture, both our own and that of the poor. We as Christians often have a false sense of charity. We see someone who's poor and we say, "I'm going to take care of you," but that's not how it ought to work. In a crisis, you can take care of someone in the short term, but in the long term, if we're creating prosperity, we can't run their lives. We can create prosperity by doing business with each other, by taking our responsibility, exercising our freedom responsibly. Michael said PovertyCure doesn't look at what we what they don't have (water, food, etc.), but what we don't see that they don't have that is preventing them from getting what they need (rule of law, private property, etc.) There isn't a single way to solve this, but it's time to change the discussion from looking at people as "consumers" or "burdens" to seeing them as "producers" and "entrepreneurs." Going from the idea as aid as the model to enterprise as the model. Population does not cause poverty. People are wealth creators when given the right conditions. PovertyCure is doing a video curriculum and a documentary. They have over 50 partners and are looking for more. Join them on the website or on their Facebook page.
