I am pretty sure the editors of the Wall Street Journal would be disinclined to endorse Pope Francis' call for international regulation of markets via state action, to promote impact investment. Yet, that is just what he called for yesterday in speaking to a meeting at the Vatican on the theme "Investing in the Poor," which was organized, in part, by the University of Notre Dame.

Yeah, but it's the National Catholic Reporter that's being critical of the endorsement. Therefore, FRoaman Catholics will most likely take the opposite position, and advocate for increased regulation.

LOL, Alex Murphy! You sure scour the world for ways to discredit the Catholic Church!

Making a generalization of the entire world’s Catholic v Protestantism based on a comparison of Swiss cantons?

Try checking out an election map of Germany! You’ll notice the Catholic areas vote for the Christian Democrats consistently, and the Protestant areas consistently vote for the Socialists. And I really don’t think you want to make the argument that Swiss economic policy is guided by Christianity.

You can go back and forth on this forever: Ooh, look! For instance: Mexico is filled with Socialists! Yes, but that’s after a Protestant-funded anti-clerical regime killed tens of thousands of Catholic nuns, priests and catechists, setting up a socialist dictatorship for 80+ years.

Theology by ad-hominem is stupid, but it seems to be the passion that consumes your entire life.
