CST in 140 Characters or Less: Heinrich Pesch on Capitalism

Last updated on: January 10, 2016 at 8:44 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

“Capitalists are usurers in the broadest sense of the word.”* Heinrich Pesch, SJ (1854-1926) 58 characters [Tweet this] A German Jesuit Priest who was influenced by Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum, Heinrich Pesch, SJ, would become a towering figure in Catholic economic thought with his work on Solidarism – an alternative to the individualism (capitalism) and collectivism of his time.

New Short Post Series: Catholic Social Teaching in 140 Characters or Less

Last updated on: January 8, 2016 at 3:32 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

Catholic Social Teaching (CST) in 140 Characters or Less is an attempt to provide short bits from within our Catholic moral and social tradition to an audience subject to the tendencies of consumerism and immediate gratification. When possible, and please remind me if I forget, I will include a fuller portion of the quote provided for additional context, and may add a line or two of comment. Certainly, we can learn much from short statements, but we must see things from within the... Read more

Invocación a María por Dom Hélder Câmara (Portugues, subtítulos en español)

Last updated on: January 7, 2016 at 11:49 am By Keith Michael Estrada

Descripción de la página de youtube: El obispo brasileño, Hélder Cámara, fallecido en 1999, profeta de la Noviolencia, era llamado por el Papa “hermano de los pobres”. En agosto de 1989 manifestaba en el Aula Malagón Rovirosa, invitado por el Movimiento Cultural Cristiano, no sólo su fidelidad sino su admiración por Juan Pablo II, a quien veía como la persona más importante de la batalla contra la injusticia en nuestro tiempo.

Materialism and Fallacious Thinking: Only the First is Exclusive to Atheism

Last updated on: January 6, 2016 at 3:53 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

On January 4 I posted “If You Want Atheism, Destroy Creation, Embrace Capitalism“. I didn’t expect too many people sympathetic to atheism to show interest in the piece, as it was directed to theists. If you check out the “combox”, you’ll see that all but one person (not including myself) support or defend atheism to some degree, if not identifying as atheists altogether. A lot of our atheist friends were offended or seemed confused by the language in the article.... Read more

Catholic Worker Inspirations: Dom Hélder Câmara on Capitalism

Last updated on: January 10, 2016 at 12:41 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

The Servant of God Dom Hélder Pessoa Câmara (February 7, 1909 – August 27, 1999) was the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Olinda and Recife, in Brasil, and is currently in the early stages of the canonization process, just like Dorothy Day. Some conservative and (ultra-)traditionalist groups have expressed their unhappiness at the thought that Dom Hélder Camara would even be considered for sainthood. Why is this? He was no conservative in today’s understanding of the word. Perhaps if we consider conservatism as... Read more
