The great mistake made in regard to the matter now under consideration is to take up with the notion that class is naturally hostile to class, and that the wealthy and the working men are intended by nature to live in mutual conflict. So irrational and so false is this view that the direct contrary is the truth. Just as the symmetry of the human frame is the result of the suitable arrangement of the different parts of the body, so in a State is it ordained by nature that these two classes should dwell in harmony and agreement, so as to maintain the balance of the body politic. Each needs the other: capital cannot do without labor, nor labor without capital. Mutual agreement results in the beauty of good order, while perpetual conflict necessarily produces confusion and savage barbarity. Now, in preventing such strife as this, and in uprooting it, the efficacy of Christian institutions is marvellous and manifold. First of all, there is no intermediary more powerful than religion (whereof the Church is the interpreter and guardian) in drawing the rich and the working class together, by reminding each of its duties to the other, and especially of the obligations of justice(RN 19)

John Médaille: I am proud to announce the publication of my book, The Vocation of Business: Social Justice in the Marketplace, by Continuum International.The overriding theme of this book is that the original unity of distributive and corrective justice that prevailed in both economics and moral discourse until the 16th and seventeenth centuries was shattered by the rise of an individualistic capitalism that relied on corrective justice (justice in exchange) alone. But an economics that lacks a distributive pr

A gleaning we go....

My friend Charles has a phenomenol and uncanny ability to find wild berries,seasonings, vegetables,etc.Turn him loose for a few hours in the woods, he will ahve you enough to make a great meal for free. This last Sunday, after having a cookout and good organic foods, he, my wife and I went out to a field he has been telling me about for sometime to glean(1) some sweet potatoes.Both on the surface and by digging in the furrows, we cam across some variable sized potatoes tha filled several boxes and bags.These aere the leftovers of modern farming...the tractors,etc leave a lot behind that would normally rot in the ground or be plowed under, but can feed a small army.Great for us, but a really shame in a world starving, that so much is left behind by "progressive" farming techniques and technology...Charles is in background, I behind the camera...
