Catholic academics come out against Ryan budget and Ayn Rand!!! [View all]

Catholic academics come out against Ryan budget and Ayn Rand.
My friend who is a tenured professor at University Of Dayton sent this to me. She is the Co-Editor, Philosophy of Peace (Special Book Series in VIBS, published by Rodopi) Associate Professor of Philosophy University of Dayton




She said

“I thought you all my be interested in the statement signed by over 150 U.S. Catholic academics (I'm one of the signers, as well as 9 other UD
Faculty) on concerns about the Ryan budget. It's an interesting summary of Catholic Social Teaching, and as a bonus, if you want to irritate anyone who's supporting Romney-Ryan you can forward the statement to them too!”

Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.----Cesar Chavez
