Catholicism, while intrinsically a universal spiritual creed, is not a universal temporal creed, like Capitalism and Socialism. Again, the ‘Social Justice Warriors’ claiming to implement Church Social Doctrine are at odds with tradition; they are a modernist heresy. Yet this modernist heresy now goes to the top of the Church hierarchy, until Social Doctrine is rendered as a Socialist banality in the interests of globalisation: ‘The fact that he is a citizen of a particular state does not deprive him of membership in the human family, nor the citizenship in that universal society, the common, world-wide fellowship of women and men’, stated John XXIII in 1963 in the midst of Vatican II. There is a spiritual gulf between the outlook Leo and that of modernist Popes, in that traditional teaching regards attachment to one’s homeland as part of a sacred birth-right that should be maintained, while the modernists scramble to be in the forefront of open borders in the name of a nebulous ‘humanity.'

I’m wondering if it’s better to just buy the cheapest and best product I could find and donate the extra money to Catholic charities or to support businesses that also the help less fortunate but has products with triple the price compare to the former?

Distributist Version of my UCCA Flag, as requested by u/cbrad1713

Rerum Novarum is not an apologia for capitalist exploitation; it is the answer to it, of more value than Das Kapital, The Communist Manifesto, or the works of Lenin or Trotsky. Leo, when addressing strikes and the increasing violence of the labour movement, as injurious to both proprietors, the trades and the social order, clearly stated that the causes are most likely to rest with social injustice and that these must be addressed a priori: ‘The laws should forestall and prevent such troubles from arising; they should lend their influence and authority to the removal in good time of the causes which lead to conflicts between employers and employed.' Human beings should not be used as ‘mere instruments for money-making. It is neither just nor human so to grind men down with excessive labour as to stupefy their minds and wear out their bodies.’

One might hope that since 1891, or 1931, a lot more about economic function had been learnt. Yet no economic proposition like the raising of the minimum wage causes such an outcry of hardship from employers, other than the outcry from both employers and employees when there is a suggestion that welfare benefits be raised in accord with rising costs of living. If production is not consumed, then it is pointless, and this cannot be done with insufficient purchasing power. The Socialist answers: raise taxes. Again, the problem of production and consumption and the lack of purchasing power, the problem of distribution, is not solved.

Relatively primal civilizational structures are more ideal for humans. But they’re absolutely necessary for certain groups. Democratic society is a luxury for populations with high social tru…

A new article by @mulcahythebaronofurga

“The radical universalism pursued on both sides of the political spectrum is actually supremacist in nature. The idea that groups are interchangeable and have nothing special to them is actually what your modern conservative and liberal actually believe.”

“ The variant of capitalism that is currently practiced by the world does not care about cultural uniqueness or societal stability. The primary concern of modern capitalism is profit. As much as it’s denied by some. Capital is not anti-human but it can be with a certain set of ideals. The protectionist variant is actually pro host population because it puts group interest before profit. Which is something a distributist can appreciate even though it’s not exactly what they desire.”
