The October 24th 2011 “Note on financial reform from the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace” contains many truths as it explores a legitimate concern – global economic stability. It also contains, as we might expect,  liberation theology overtones, though (fortunately) it flatly admits the failure of Marxism in its important introduction: In 1991, after [...]

Communism is a great idea. …In a sinless world. I remember walking through the local grocery store with my mother as a child.

An exchange of comments occured between me and a friend on facebook. This might help some readers, so I’ve decided to post it: I’m not seeing this in the same light you are, bro.
