An Unexpected Turn

Latin integralists won't take this well:

So tell me again how @RafaeldeArizaga is wrong that this project is altogether opposed to Rome. https://t.co/OJen9X9PZe

The “ideal” in Scripture is not world government. It is localism.

But God’s compromise is the state instead of a world of free tribes and clans.

World empire is, in Scripture, the nightmare that political theory and theology seeks to prevent.

Is there more substance to Hazony than I had previously thought? Is his book worth getting now? Is he not controlled op as suspected? Insofar as he is opposed to ethnonationalism and still advocates for a form of identity that is based on culture or creed alone, his understanding of politike remains problematic.

Localism? Priceless.

It takes a lot to raise a chicken for Sunday dinner. When customers pay the true cost, they value our work, and their feast, a lot more. Learn more about The Right Price on this week's Hearth of Sap Bush podcast.#redefiningrich #smallbusinesslife https://t.co/IBDf7nHzvK pic.twitter.com/fLaqHZfSLc

Localism!

Informative thread 👇🏻

Plant-based protein is another example of corps cozying up to the money printer via crop subsidies.

Decentralized farms and meat processors is how we maintain freedom to eat real food. https://t.co/kZ3R8CGOQz

This Is Actually Sensible

But with no charism or competence to speak on such matters, the pope's opinion has no more weight than that of a non-Christian.

Restarting local economies with a focus on providing adequate food for all the world's people means governments must involve and listen to small farmers and farming families, Pope Francis said.
