The Discipleship of Work

I Agree with the Sentiment

But I don't think it is practicable -- descent and localization need to happen in a more ordered manner.

We should abolish 99% of universities

and return to apprenticeship for craftsmen

Harmel Academy Has a Podcast

All of you guys who like to talk about Rerum and Quadragesimo, please give a listen to this talk. It's one thing to talk about the "worker" in the abstract. It's quite another to meet workers where they are & give them training and a life. What can you do? https://t.co/j4DKfFSRyF

Latin Devotion to St. Joseph

CWR: St. Joseph: Man and Worker—A Letter to Working Men by David Michael Phelps
Considering our own crises in light of St. Joseph’s example, we can learn to see, even here in our coronavirus exile, an opportunity to offer a more fundamental yes to the work of God in our lives.

Good luck to the Harmel Academy of the Trades. Hopefully it's not too little, too late.
