[Buddha-l] FW: Check out The Right's Stupidity Spreads--a WIDER view

[sjziobro at cs.com]

Joanna,
 

 This is an interesting site in many aspects.  Cole noted nothing that is binding on the consciences of Catholics, and so Ric Santorum cannot, with intellectual honesty, be conceived of as rejecting what is de fidei, that is, doctrines that require of Catholics the assent of faith.  What Cole illustrates, however, is the attempt of the American Catholic bishops to utilize principles from the Church's social teaching, beginning with Leo XIII's encyclical on capital and labor, Rerum Novarum, which he issued in May of 1891.  Context here is important, because Catholic social teaching is highly suspicious of State intrusion and control in the various Socialist and Communist variants effectively embraced by the Democratic Party here in the USA.  It is also critical of some of what comprises the GOP platform.

Regards,

Stan
