religion and the press II
Another swipe at the church from a right wing commentator buried in this Paul Kelly article about why the minimum wage must be abolished reformed:
(The intellectual failure of the churches to accept the moral foundations of a market economy and market-based mechanisms to deliver equity dooms them to a historic marginalisation. When on earth will the Catholic Church emerge from the defeatist and myopic economics of B.A. Santamaria? When will it discover one of the elementary precepts of the 18th century, namely the moral laws built into economic liberalism?)
As the brackets indicate, it was a highly parenthetical remark entirely unrelated to the article’s argument. But hey, if you can paint the Catholics and pinko lefties, then it is worth it.
