This seems to be the regular graphic that appears with op-eds in that category. <BR/><BR/>Is the discussion here of the use of a graphic from the online companion to the Wall Street Journal a sign of the insidious corruption of the market system, whose malign tendrils creep, yea, even into an honorable thread of distributist crunchiness? <BR/><BR/> Just asking. <BR/><BR/>(I wrote "I don't no" instead of "I don't know" above.

Stegall has arranged his life (rather dramatically) and developed his outlook very much along explicitly distributionist principles--albeit rather complex ones.Porthoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068816321548529889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37222179.post-75550089254886431732007-03-30T22:13:00.000-04:002007-03-30T22:13:00.000-04:00Specifically, this definition of work(s) resonates...Specifically, this definition of work(s) resonates. <BR/><BR/>In morning prayers, there's the opening, "O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary I offer you all my prayers, works, joys, sorrows and sufferings of this day . . ." (There are alternate wordings.)<BR/><BR/>"Works" here means just about everything we physically do. Just as there's an overly commercialized conception of "work" that misses the point entirely (as delineated in the review), there may be, among nervous and scrupulous souls, an equal and opposite tendency to blank out all of the day-to-day doings that can't be accounted for as "faith activity." This results in an inability to surrender large portions of the day to God as an offering, and a tendency to walk under a cloud of self-condemnation for all the "good works" we are not doing (and thus the circumstances that prevent us from doing them seem a curse, when in fact they are a gift that is to be offered back in return).Porthoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068816321548529889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37222179.post-30076881116216863712007-03-30T22:03:00.000-04:002007-03-30T22:03:00.000-04:00Ooooh, good.
