**They underlined the document's analysis of global affairs that "rejects the oversimplifying polarization of free market and active government solutions."**
**The evangelicals endorsed "the affirmation that an economy of charity demands space for myriad human communities and institutions, not just for the state and the market, but also families and the many relationships of civil society."**
**They affirmed a shared fear about the "growth of an overweening welfare state, which degrades social and civic pluralism," and agreed that "subsidiarity and solidarity must be held in tandem."**
They GET it! In other words, they read the entire encyclical, not just one section!!!
This should debunk all the ranting about this encyclical.
“It called on other evangelicals to “rethink who must be included among corporate stakeholders and what the moral significance of investment is.”
Of course, the encyclical was not meant to discuss the situation in the U.S. A 40% corporate income tax rate causes us to rethink who is included among stakeholders.
Going with that premise, we should all be thankful Obama is our President...After all, he was the choice of the American Catholic church...
Your post failed to mention how many read the piece and disagreed with it....But sure, this position of your pope would appeal to those of the world council of churches...
Every Catholic who thinks these clowns are "Protestant Leaders" deserves every last bit of socialism that Caritas in Veritate is promoting.
