from Conciliar Post

While we live here on earth we are to render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and that means we are subject to the laws of the land and victim to the wages of our sin – that same sin which seems to make the brutal capitalist system the best available.  As children of God and members of the church, however, we should love and honor our neighbors as we love ourselves. Capitalism and Christianity are compatible, not because they alike, but because it is the Church that can make capitalism possible. In the name of progress and profitability, the economy will continue rolling forward without stopping to consider who is left behind, but because we know that our salvation lies elsewhere, the Church has both the freedom and the duty to care for and strengthen those whom capitalism leaves behind.

Viral meme says gun homicides are down 49 percent in past 12 years
The social media meme said that "gun homicide is down 49 percent in the past 12 years." The gun homicide rate is actually down by 49 percent over the past 17 years, but this seemingly minor mistake betrays a significant misunderstanding of how rates have fluctuated over the past two decades. During the past dozen years, gun homicide rates have been largely static; their big decline mostly came in the years before the meme even started counting. The meme is not just incorrect; it’s a distraction from what actually happened. We rate the claim False.
