Popes Agree: Capitalist Sin Destroys Relationships

Last updated on: July 8, 2017 at 3:49 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

The opening presentation was offered by Archbishop Thomas Wenski from Miami. Wenski gave the conference participants a solid overview of Laudato si’.

CST in 140 Characters or Less: St. John Paul II on Working for One’s Bread

Last updated on: June 29, 2017 at 12:15 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

“The obligation to earn one’s bread by the sweat of one’s brow also presumes the right to do so.”* +Saint John Paul II, 95 characters [Tweet this] The full quote comes from JP II’s Centesiimus Annus (1991).

Last updated on: May 24, 2017 at 4:12 am By Keith Michael Estrada

How long will it take for Trump to make good on that commitment? I suppose he didn’t say “I’ll read them while I am in office,” but I don’t know. Imagine what kind of actions Trump would take if he were to follow the logic of love in the Pope’s teachings.... Read more

Slavery “is a mortal sin; today we say this. Back then, some would say that this could be done because these people did not have a soul!” he said. The... Read more
