If we truly want to prevent further school shootings in this nation, we need to stop fooling ourselves with utopian “feel good” solutions like passing some more anti-gun legislation. We need to look inward and see that, as Pogo famously said, “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”

There is little discussion about the principle of subsidiarity in Catholic circles and virtually none in the national political debate. Many Catholics do not even know that there is such a principle within the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church. Instead they have borrowed charged rhetoric from both the political left and the political right for far too long and failed to offer their unique contribution to the common good. We need an intelligent discussion of the underlying issue – what constitutes “good” governance and Catholics can and should take the lead.

With the decision that Obamacare will stand as the law of the land means that America – home of the brave, land of the free – is no more. This great country, the one to whom all great refugee movements of the world for over two centuries saw as the light to escape poverty, political bondage, and hopelessness now turns its back on that legacy of freedom for what will, in a very short time, amount a bowl of pottage. The turn to tyranny won’t happen overnight and it won’t be recognized as tyranny – not at first anyway. But as freedom gets chipped away the straight jacket gets tighter and then hardens to envelop the mind like a steel casket.

You may participate in your faith inside the church building, but once you leave that building, you must leave your allegiance to your faith behind. And not only must you leave that allegiance behind, you must be willing to publicly embrace ideologies and practices that are exactly the opposite of what your faith teaches, or be penalized.It’s only one word, so it is easy to miss the change; but the difference between worship and religion is enormous.
