By Katherine Stewart

…choice and partly by economic pressure. Other developed countries such as Sweden, the U.K., and France, witnessing the same falling birthrates, have taken steps to alter the economic equation with paid parental leave, free or subsidized daycare, and other benefits.

The deregulatory spiral of the Greenspan years (through the Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, and G. W.

…ges that in plumping for faith-based initiatives, he is also recycling and promoting ideas from his 2009 book, God’s Economy, which embraced the theory of the Bush initiative. Holes in the History, Perils in the Prescription I’m very glad that Daly uncovers the historical currents informing both Catholic social thought and US labor history.

…the “natural family” has a white knight in Europe: brave Poland, the anti-Sweden. Following Pope John Paul II’s philosophy that particular countries can change the course of Europe, Poland has been heralded in US profamily literature as the likely salvation of the continent: a heavily Catholic bastion of conservatism amid the gay-friendly EU.

…a. Then, in 2007, neo-Nazis “ransacked” an exhibition of Serrano’s work in Sweden. The most recent assault may have been spurred in part by Civitas, a lobby group that, as their website puts it, seeks to make France a “cité Catholique.” The Guardian reports that Civitas “launched an online petition and mobilized other fundamentalist groups” in opposition to the exhibition of Serrano’s photo; Christian protesters numbering about 1,000 commenced a m…

The consecration of Lane could exacerbate divisions in the Anglican Communion, as did the ordination by the Episcopal Church in the U.S. of an openly gay Bishop, Gene Robinson.
