Well, there it is.
This is from Archbishop Naumann of Kansas City. This is taken from an article at the Acton Institute.
“Part of my concern, which I expressed at the bishops’ meeting (earlier this month in Atlanta) is that people – who have good intentions and motivations – have too often looked to massive government programs to help the poor,” he said, “yet we have a history now of almost 50 years with these programs and we don’t have fewer poor and we don’t have more people empowered. But we do have a weaker family life and weaker public morality. And so we have to look at it and ask, ‘Are these really the best ways to go about addressing the problem?’”
Here is a link to the Acton Institute site, which is Catholic and Conservative. http://www.acton.org/
You might also like the “Distributist Review.” which also concerns it self with economics and politics from a Catholic view point. http://distributistreview.com/mag/
There is not one size fits all Catholic approach to applying Catholic teaching to the sphere of public life. But any approach must be centered in Jesus Christ and uphold the dignity of the person from conception to natural death.
