Schindler, Tracey Rowland, Stanley Hauerwas, and many other greatly respected Catholic and non-Catholic thinkers to Stephen & Dr. Eugene McCarraher. In my humble opinion as I stated above, ontologically speaking the Augustinian Thomists are more precise and true on this topic than the Whigs (Sirico, Novak & party).Fr. D.L.

What McCarraher's thought does very well though is to point to the errors of the Whig Thomist's beliefs, especially in regards to capitalism. It really hits the nail on the head.Fr. D.L.

McCarraher...Thank you for posting these resources. McCarraher is new to me as well. I especially enjoyed "Mammon's Deadly Grin: The New Gospel of Wealth and the Old Gospel of Life".<BR/><BR/>The "money quote" there that will engender a strong reaction from your Whig/Thomist readership is:<BR/><BR/>"Capitalism, I sumbit to you, is the political economy of the culture of death, and the business corporation is its bogus ecclesial vehicle."<BR/><BR/>He is hard on Novak. To say that Novak's theology is "the baptismal font in which a lot of dirty money was laundered" is a harsh criticism. However, if one truly beleives that the mdern corporation is the agent of the antichrist offering up oblations to Mammon, Such criticism could be understood as admonishing the sinner--a work of mercy.benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620095436148983534noreply@blogger.com
