Lord, give your sheep more shepherds like this man.

Seems like a good time for me to cancel a couple of accounts and (checks duckduckgo) give up shopping at Giant Eagle because they are paying to ship their people to us from Ohio? Whole Foods is now my less-liberal grocery chain?? These are strange times.

Next step: the Church and its members divest from public corporations promoting abortion, as much as is possible, but retain a few shares to push shareholder initiatives on corporate to stop promoting abortion.

What a great interview with a great Bishop!

Kudos to The Pillar for this, and more in a similar vein please!

Useful interventions by Bishop Paprocki, who is surely a model Bishop.

Interesting interview and a bishop who thinks deeply about things.

When the issue of same-sex "marriage" in Australia was pushed down the throats of the country, many of the HR departments of the major corporations got onboard. Friends used the approach of being shareholders to raise objections - however, they were not as successful as the good bishop here. But it is important to remember that shareholders, and not the executives or HR, own the company and should be able to direct it.

One of the problems around the world is that the ownership of corporations has been effectively removed from the beneficiaries. Often, pension funds and other managed assets buy into large corporations. So while the common person "owns" part of these corporations, the structure certain removes them and ensure that they are unable to influence them. Leaving the direction and management to largely mutually appointed "managers" who have their snouts in the trough.

I have an issue with his use of PROabortion. I simply don’t know anyone who fancies abortion. I realize that’s a trigger word, and that is probably his point. But keeping abortion legal, at least in certain circumstances, is important. I’ve already related on this site what happened to me as a young woman and mother and how that compares to today, when I would have a good chance of dying from infection. My life is worth something too. Ask my son.
