State Can Wage War, but not Provide for the Poor?

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:48 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

We often hear that the state has little to no responsibility in providing for the needs of its people in need – especially the poor. The most basic responsibilities of the state, some have said, rest solely in enforcing contracts, protecting property rights, and providing security for its people. Besides the challenge we face in determining how we understand contractual agreements and what exactly – and how and why – one can claim something(s) as their property, we may consider... Read more

Always Appreciated: Reminders of Church’s Regret

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:48 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

Sam Rocha recently wrote a short piece for us on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s demand for an apology from Pope Francis on the injustice committed through the residential school program. Sam explains that Trudeau isn’t off for asking for an apology – but he shouldn’t do so while thinking the Church hasn’t repented before. Saying you’re sorry once, may not be enough. The hurt caused by the Church, acting actively or passively, is immense. What the Church did –... Read more

Trudeau: You Know the Church Apologized, Right?

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:37 pm By Sam Rocha

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently noted that he would request an apology from Pope Francis for Roman Catholic residential schools. Here are some thoughts: Popes should apologize again and again for sins of the Church, and we should also not pretend that the RCC has never apologized for them. Justin Trudeau should ask Pope Francis for an apology. But he (Trudeau) should not act as if these apologies do not exist and that this sorrow is absent. Every pope of... Read more

Remembering Chaput: Welfare and Taxes are “Prudential Judgments”

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:53 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

In a 2012 interview for the National Catholic Reporter, John L. Allen, Jr., asked Archbishop Chaput: We’re speaking on the night Barack Obama is delivering his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. Let me ask flat-out: Do you believe a Catholic in good faith can vote for Obama? The Archbishop responded: I can only speak in terms of my own personal views. I certainly can’t vote for somebody who’s either pro-choice or pro-abortion. I’m not a Republican and I’m not... Read more

Planned Parenthood Shooter Shouldn’t Get Death Penalty

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:48 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

In the United States of America, we have a pretty decent infrastructure in keeping people “locked up”. We do it to lots of kids between 8a-4p and call it “public school”, we do it when we want to “quarantine” people, or when others are caught living in this country without authorization, simply for trying to offer their families better lives.¹ While people may escape our institutional attempts to deprive from the freedom to be mobile, we can still consider our...

La Guadalupana – The Music Video!

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:44 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

A wonderful celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe to you! Last night, we published Subversive Love: Our Lady of Guadalupe – and I highly recommend you read it. I woke up this morning with this rendition of “La Guadalupana” in my head. It’s by Emmanuel y Alexander Acha. I highly suggest you give it a listen. If you want to listen to a more ‘traditional’ ‘La Guadalupana’, here’s one :) If you have a favorite, share it with me below. And give Subversive Love: Our... Read more

British Soldier Recovering from Extremist Attack: Muslims Took Care of Me

ITV reports that Chris Herbert, a British soldier who at 19 years old lost his leg in Iraq, has a testimony of heartfelt appreciation for all of the Muslims who offered him compassionate care. Just because he “got blown up” by a Muslim, Chris is not against all Muslims. See the video below or click here for more.

11 Pope Francis Quotes on Ecology that Part from Saint John Paul II’s Teaching

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:42 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

Friends, You saw (here) that Francis allowed St. Peter’s to be used to raise awareness of our contribution to the destruction of the planet and the threat to all life, human and organic. Clearly, the words of Pope Francis are scary, political, ideological, inconsistent with the prudence of his predecessors, especially John Paul II (who embraced the GOP with his words). Tell me John Paul II wouldn’t be upset to find these words written by Pope Francis: 1. He begins... Read more

Catholic Worker Inspirations: Dorothy Day on Capitalism (Part 1)

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:33 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

We started our “Catholic Worker Inspirations” posts last week by introducing a small sample of Peter Kropotkin. I thought we could continue to share what certain Catholic Worker Inspirations wrote on various themes – inspirations being those who inspired the Catholic Worker Movement, and in this case, those who started the movement. Dorothy Day, Obl.S.B., (November 8, 1897 – November 29, 1980) co-founded the Catholic Worker with a Frenchman by the name of Peter Maurin (May 9, 1877 – May 15,... Read more
