“THe following do not involve INCREASED regulation, or any regulation at all:
Trade treaties
Diplomacy
Multi-lateral cooperation
International banking policy
Exemptions from regulation”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL of those increase regulation, usually by idiots who don’t know squat all about how to achieve anything!
“Suddenly when it involves anti-Catholicism, must we sweep right past Republicanism, past Subsidiarism, past Constitutionalism, past Libertarianism and straight to anarchy?”
I have not commented on Pope Peron’s theology. I have merely pointed out that he is clueless about economics and markets - and he is defended on FR ONLY because he is the Pope. If Barry Obama made the same statement, the Catholics would be all over him as an economic illiterate. The HONEST Catholics tend to say the same about the current Pope.
And BTW, I’ve been posting since 1998, and you won’t find me criticizing the previous popes. Pope Francis seems to me to be an exceptionally foolish fellow, with neither the experience nor the intelligence to understand the impact of what he blathers. He is an embarrassment to the Catholic Church - or ought to be!
ENCYCLICAL LETTER CARITAS IN VERITATE 67. To manage the global economy; to revive economies hit by the crisis; to avoid any deterioration of the present crisis and the greater imbalances that would result; to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration: for all this, there is urgent need of a true world political authority,...
Furthermore, such an authority would need to be universally recognized and to be vested with the effective power to ensure security for all, regard for justice, and respect for rights. Obviously it would have to have the authority to ensure compliance with its decisions from all parties,...
The integral development of peoples and international cooperation require the establishment of a greater degree of international ordering, marked by subsidiarity*, for the management of globalization. They also require the construction of a social order that at last conforms to the moral order, to the interconnection between moral and social spheres, and to the link between politics and the economic and civil spheres, as envisaged by the Charter of the United Nations.” *http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20090629_caritas-in-veritate_en.html Subsidiarity is an organizing principle that matters ought to be handled by the smallest, lowest or least centralized competent authority.
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Pope Benedict XVI and other church leaders said it was the moral responsibility of nations to guarantee access to health care for all of their citizens, regardless of social and economic status or their ability to pay. Governments are obligated, therefore, to adopt the proper legislative, administrative and financial measures to provide such care along with other basic conditions that promote good health, such as food security, water and housing, the cardinal said. - http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/1004736.htm
And where does this end? Rather than promoting private charity with the accountability to better oneself, the government provides all, which ends up punishing the industrious and rewarding indolence, but eventually with ideological strings attached.
Hehehe. Honest Catholics? Read post #13. But since you say exemptions from regulation are increases in regulation, there’s nothing left to say to you.
