Subsidiarity, Distributism, and Social Credit (or Three Acres and a Cow)

Subsidiarity, Distributism, and Social Credit (or Three Acres and a Cow)

“Subsidiarity” is the name given to the principle that a central authority should have a subsidiary function, performing only those tasks which cannot be performed at a more local level.

Laudato Si and Missed Opportunities

Laudato Si and Missed Opportunities

The latest encyclical, Laudato Si, is generating a great deal of heat both inside and outside of the Catholic Church – and more heat than light I am afraid. Instead of discussing the various and, in some cases, quite serious scientific, philosophical, and theological concerns that a number of commentators have raised in reference to it (consider, for example, the following interview with Chris Ferrara:

  • The Canadian Federal Debt Debate: Auditor General Numbers, Framing, Causality, and a Social Credit Lens
    Understanding this question concerning federal debt in precise terms matters.
