A Free Market Economy
Today at my church, the priest was giving a homily, and he started to talk about the Tsunami. This particular priest has a tendancy to streach real far to push a subliminal liberal agenda; once he said that word, tsunami, I knew I was going to be in for a bumpy ride.He made a comment somewhere along the lines of individual contributions embarassing our (American) government's contributions for helping victims of the tsunami. For one thing, our government has given more than any other government (monetary, food and people). Second, we have a free market economy, so that means private donations are supposed to overshadow government donations. America gives so much more because it allows people to feel free to give money of their own, privately, because the government isn't taking a ton and deciding how much you should give.
Thus far I haven't posted on the tsunami issue only because every single blog is and it is on TV 24/7. It is a big issue, and you can't have people playing down what we do for the world, like so many people nowdays.

Yes, in fact, we have thought about changing churches, and we're starting to go to a different chuch. But on busyer than normal days we go to that church because it is so much closer and they have many more times at which we can attend.
Thanks for the comment
Oh, also, we're not asking for conservatism from our church, we're asking for Catholic messages straight up, not some far streched relation to politics. I can make my own decisions on politics with my beliefs.
You should print out this column by Bruce Bartlett and show it to your priest:

Heh, Quilly is right again. Y'all are good. A bit further right than some... but not bad.
