I think we have to be careful when we bash capitalism–it has brought many blessings. Uncontrolled capitalism is a different story. I also think those in the conservative movement did have lofty ideals, at one time. I think most Republicans no longer share those ideals.
You don’t have to be a socialist or a capitalist to be more Christ like. I beleive both systems, in the context that you seem to be using them, are anti-Christ-like.What! But surely capitalism is preferred to socialism which is condemned by the Church thus Christ? How can you be a socialist and be more like Christ?
If the democrats morphed any more left we would have to send them to a communist country.

Capitalism may have had some good intentions but it became a tool to exploit and to enslave others.
There are no man created systems that cannot be turned to the bad. However, the entire western culture has flourished thanks to capitalism. In recent times we have seen some heavy abuse, yet that does not condemn the system, rather it condemns those doing the abusing. Also, many times it is politicians who craft laws that end-up harming people.
How so, truth is I’m trying to understand what you mean by either, it depends on what you mean by the qualifier; “unbridled” and in relation too…
And it depends on what you mean by socialism. Socialism as defined by the Church is condemned. How one defines it here may be plausible.
See that’s the thing, so many people like to go around condemning socialism and yet if you have some one who says they are a socialist or believe in a socialist form of government and try to have them explain what they understand socialism to mean they seem to see and understand it more along the lines as how the Church teaches us that we should have solidarity and subsidiarity verses what the Church condemns as being socialism.How so, truth is I’m trying to understand what you mean by either, it depends on what you mean by the qualifier; “unbridled” and in relation too…

I think what you are missing is the personal freedom that capitalism provides. Sure, there are abuses, and yes sometimes people are on the lower levels of the economic strata when they live under capitalism. But, what capitalism honors is free will and the ability to make one’s own destiny. Along with comes the freedom to worship God in any way one so chooses. Even this very place to talk on the internet comes to us from a capitalistic system. It is the pursuit of profit that caused the internet to take off. All the medical and technological advances we enjoy bound from a capitalistic foundation.
I see your mind is thinking in the terms of capitalism-socialism today, surely you have something on your mind? Rarely I understand what people mean from a socialist perspective so I naturally rely on Church teaching as 2000 have for sure given prudence to their thinks. As for capitalism I agree with irishpatrick.
I don’t understand how that would be able to stand. From what I’ve read pro-lifers already believe the fourteenth amendment provides protection for the unborn and it is Roe v Wade that has to be overturned.
I don’t believe the entire western culture has flourished. But I do believe we may not be looking at it the same way. A lot of people were just ignored and left behind while the entire western culture flourished. And they were just as much a part of the entire western culture as everyone else.
I’m not sure what your asking here.
To my knowledge, Congress would have to write the law in such a way that would not allow review by the Supreme Court. Congress is supposed to have the Constitutional authority to define jurisdiction.
I don’t need a President in order for me to believe and pray.
You said it far better than I have.
I know it’s been a while since I read the Roe v Wade documents but what I remember is it stating clearly that if it was ever determined or established in the future that the unborn were indeed a person as defined in the fourteenth amendment it would automatically revoke the right to abortion. Period. The rest of Roe v Wade would stand. Like the part about a woman haveing the right to choose her own coarse of medical treatment for her own body. From what I understand Roe v Wade does not need to be overturned. It just needs to be understood correctly so that the unborn are recognized as being a person or having personhood as every other child is, the right to abortion on demand is gone with out Roe v Wade being overturned just implemented so the it recognizes the women’s and unborn child’s personhood.
Absolutely not true as DNA for sure solves this issue. Further why would anyone suggest Trumps own words are not true but Hillary and the rest are. That argument is a straw man.
