Belloc to the table may well branch off into "more conservative than thou

Well....I like to call it who understands what the meaning of TRUE freedom is rather than conservatism. True freedom is freedom FROM something sinful ,not TO something sinful and Belloc and Chesterton understood that as capitalism grew with mankind in charge that it would continually lead to more greed and all kinds of immoralities all protected under the law of the state in the name of freedom which is NOT freedom at all

Capitalism fails if man is immoral and does not love his neighbor as himself.

Nice to hear from you again. I hope all is well with youand your family?

Hi there, dear stfassisi! Thank you so very much for sharing your insights!

We are all fine here and I pray all is well with you and yours.

Capitalism fails if man is immoral and does not love his neighbor as himself.

Truly, our existing political system depends on most people believing in God.

The system of oaths and swearing people in to give their testimony, is meaningful when the people believe in a God Who will see justice done. Likewise, the rule of law (including the whole system of taxation) relies on voluntary compliance.

Faith and morals are the anchors to Western civilation, in my view.

May God bless you always, dear stfassisi!
