One Take on Capitalism

In fact, capitalism and vice are the twin motors of modernity, two sides of the same coin. The essence of virtue is restraint. Restraint does not make for large profits. So all of our God-given natural capacities are distended, corrupted and exploited to serve mammon.

Pope's Acceptance of Homosexuality Reveals the Dark Core of Roman Catholicism

A. I. Osipov: It turns out that today the Pope is questioning the most fundamental principles of morality, moral Christian teaching. And this is not surprising, because, starting with Pope John XXIII (he died back in 1963), all subsequent popes used the same phrase, which no one had ever used before them (before John XXIII). And, of course, Pope Francis repeats this with special force and emphasis.

N. Bulchuk: And what is this phrase?

A. I. Osipov: The fact is that John XXIII was the first to visit the Roman synagogue, and to the whole world he said: "You are our elder brothers." Moreover, here we are not talking about Jews, but about Judaism, for which Jesus Christ is a false messiah. Because he calls people to the Kingdom of God, which “is within us,” and not to the Kingdom of God, which people dream of building on the earth. So, all these are natural steps. Francis right now declares: he directly declares, this is again an unprecedented statement: "We and the Jews believe in one God." What does this phrase indicate? That Christ is no one for Francis! You and we believe in what God? In Jesus Christ, who is the Image of the Invisible God. Here, He, God, appeared in the form most accessible to human knowledge! .. Now think about what Francis says: "We have one god with the Jews." That is, it is possible to believe in “one god” without recognizing Christ? Calling Christ a false messiah? So, you see, how dogmatic or (which is more understandable for the general public) doctrinal truths to what extent are connected with the moral teaching of Christianity. And now ... Pope Francis has repeatedly, in hints, around and around, based on the context, expressed his point of view on this issue. But now he openly declared his opinion. And this, of course, excited a lot of people. But I would urge you not to be surprised and look at his personal spiritual state: how he demonstrates his humility in front of the whole world, in front of cameras, for example, kissing the feet of refugees or blacks, as well as other ostentatious "forces" that he throws out. So much for the Vatican! It’s time, perhaps, for the Orthodox to pay serious attention to this.

N. Bulchuk: But immediately the figure of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew comes to mind, who has recently been very close to Pope Francis ...

A. I. Osipov: Lately he has been flying to Rome every now and then, and only communicates with the Roman prelates. And by this he most obviously demonstrates his spirit. You see what a danger stands before us, before Orthodoxy! After all, this, it would seem, is Constantinople, the primordial Church, and what is it doing! It is no accident, by the way, that Constantinople has recently taken not only such a position, but has essentially gone into schism: this is what it means - communion with the spirit of the world, with the spirit of Catholicism!

The Future (of the Democratic Party) is Female

For @janekleeb, the founder and president of Bold Alliance and chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party, winning in rural areas is a simple matter of showing up and making an investment in rural areas—two things that have yet to happen on a serious scale. https://t.co/xW6ALuDxM9

Means to an End, and an End in Itself

Hey progressives and hippies, don't kid yourself if you think that vetting possible guests isn't a necessary preparatory step, or that the meal itself is also a part of the vetting process.

From households to congress, fewer and fewer people are sitting down together to share meals—a ritual that helps people build trust, cooperation, and strong communities. Here are a few ways to reactivate the practice, even in socially distanced times. https://t.co/v25IjxZbbm

Ismail, the goal of extremists is, among other things, to divide us. You are right. We mustn't let it happen. We are brothers.

Two Responses

Doing good includes the pursuit of justice, especially a proper punishment, and security of the French people, and closing their borders. But probably not according to Jorge Bergoglio.

— Gladden Pappin (@gjpappin) October 29, 2020

Actually, having two different jurisdictional orders for the same territory is very much possible. Juridical "neatness" at the expense of what is pastorally wise is a problem. But apologists for the papal centralism prefer juridical "neatness." Even Latins recognize that the supreme law of the Church is charity, and the good of Christians overrides all other considerations, even "ecclesiastical neatness." Who in Rome consulted the underground bishops in China for their opinions?

Anthony Clark's latest at least offers both sides of the argument: China’s Catholic Leviathan: Jesuits and the Sino-Vatican Agreement. But the affirmative is still wrong: full communion with the bishop of Rome is not the highest good.

Degrowth Can Be Explained by the "Right"

But it is unlikely that "conservatives" could assume leadership of the movement. Most degrowth advocates are progressives or leftists.

Disappointing to see that certain Marxists still misunderstand what #Degrowth is about. There is much in common between Degrowth and Marxism; strawmanning each other is a waste of (scarce) energy. Instead: let's work together!

Being Autonomous is a Luxury Thanks to Cheap Energy

In many farm families, land is passed to their sons.

As a result, agriculture is a less accessible career for women - particularly queer women who don’t have the option to marry a male farmer w/land.
