Understanding the Social Function of Private Property

Christian Civilization, Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira / Anti-communism, Ownership, Private Property

Free enterprise and private property have some rather strange supporters around the world. While professing to be ardent anti-communists, these supporters always advocate some restrictions on private property or free enterprise when proposing solutions for socio-economic problems.

Don’t Treat Wolves Like Lost Sheep

Catholic Perspective, Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira / Bishops, Cardinals, Church in Crisis, Crisis, Lost Sheep, O Legionário, Plinio Correa de Oliveira, Traitors, Wolves

The doctrine of Our Lord Jesus Christ is full of seemingly antagonistic truths which nevertheless when examined closely, far from mutually denying one another, actually complement one another, forming a truly marvellous harmony. This is the case, for example, with the seeming contradiction between divine Justice and Goodness. God is at the same time infinitely …

Pope Francis’ Symbolic Gesture Commemorating Heretic Luther

Catholic Perspective, Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira / Bergoglio, Francis, Heresy, Heretic, Luther, Lutheran, Martin, Martin Luther, Pope Francis, Protestant Reformation, Reformation

Symbolic acts and gestures often have a greater persuasive power than words and reasoning, though one completes the other.

The Hoax Of Atheistic Communism

Catholic Perspective, Fighting the Culture War, Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, Return to Order

“History is the tutor of life,” said Cicero. Nothing is more useful for the understanding of certain of the liveliest aspects of modern reality than the study of analogous situations of the past.

Pan-Amazon Synod, Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

Introduction What’s the Agenda? A Look at a Tribal Future In the cultural wars engulfing the nation, one often wonders what is the final long-term goal of the other side.
