Will Christians Actually Feed the Hungry?

Last updated on: August 20, 2012 at 8:04 pm By John McCarthy

When we harness our collective power to produce legislation that benefits the most vulnerable we are enacting Christ’s Sermon on the Mount into Law. Programs such as SNAP we show care for the hungry, the thirsty and the meek and we answer Christ’s command to serve the least among us. (more…) Read more

Politics of a Seamless Garment: Catholic Universities, HHS and Onward

Last updated on: August 20, 2012 at 8:04 pm By John McCarthy

In December of 1983 Joseph Cardinal Bernardin was invited to give an address on Catholic Teaching and the American body Politic. In a crowded room at Fordham University he introduced an important thought: “I am convinced that the pro-life position of the Church must be developed in terms of a comprehensive and consistent ethic of life.” This idea was of course, greeted by many as heresy and seen as another caveat through which the laity could dissent from the church....

My Political Story and Journey

Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly and defend the rights of the poor and needy.” Even through disagreements, the common good of the welfare of people should always be something to bring us back to common ground.

Why I am a Democrat

Last updated on: May 9, 2013 at 6:06 am By Faithful Democrats

No person–and no institution comprised of people–is immune from the temptation to act in an evil manner when the... Read more

Budgetary myths that Christians should reject, Part 1

Last updated on: May 9, 2013 at 6:06 am By Faithful Democrats

Myth #1: “Asking the government to care for the poor and weak means we are failing to depend on God.” Not true. Most of God’s care for us takes place through the created order He has established, not despite it. “In Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28), but our continued existence is usually a result of the forces and laws of nature that God designed to carry out His will–not because of repeated interruptions of...
