Judaizing” tendencies—like those of the Hebrew Roots Movement—must be rejected. Everyone needs the Gospel, found through the kerygma and sacraments of the Church. In the Church, we find the Messiah, the “paschal lamb” sacrificed for us. The realization of God’s ancient promises is here.

I’d better start with the basics: I’m a politician.
Income inequality in the US celebrated its 50th birthday last year. Having declined steadily after World War II, 1968 began a 50-year winning streak. Few are cheering, though, because concentrations of wealth are dangerous. People controlling huge amounts of money can use their buying power to push us all around. Hence billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett are much in the news on the receiving end of public opprobrium.

JEAN ARTHUR AND THE VIRTUE OF KINDNESS
By Sarah McCullough Cornwell: This is the second post in a series in which I explore what classic film actresses in iconic roles can teach us — and, more particularly, my fast-growing daughter — about the seven classic virtues. These posts follow the order of the virtues that Dante encounters in his journey up through Purgatorio.  The first post was on humility and Ingrid Bergman’s character in Casablanca. This post focuses on kindness and what the spirited and witty Jean Arthur can teach us about this virtue. Though she has many memorable roles (I highly recommend You Can’t Take It with You), I will focus on her character in Frank Capra’s Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
