situation ethics

Editor’s Note: It looks like all those appeals to conscience and civil disobedience that I heard during the Vietnam War, when laws were being broken by anti-war protestors and dissenters “for a higher good in the spirit of Thoreau,” are now down the drain when the conscience being violated is a Biblical one. Liberal = hypocrite. Their “tolerance” is a ruse to gain supremacist power over us and impose their revolutionary intolerance of 3,000 years of western morality. Their appeal is solely to situation ethics; their morality is as fluid as the zeitgeist.

My interview by journalist Mark Anderson on his call-in radio program has been archived and is available for listening online free of charge, as a public service. The program is approximately two hours in duration. It is centered on a discussion of the book, Usury in Christendom: The Mortal Sin that Was and Now is Not.Saying the broadcast is "free of charge" is somewhat misleading in that my appearance on the program was made possible by donations from truth-seekers whose gifts fund our research and public activism.

Questions on UsuryFrom D.L., Omaha, Nebraska:Michael,I have just completed reading your excellent book Usury in Christendom: The Mortal Sin that Was and Now is Not, and am re-reading and researching various sections for further clarity. Here are questions and comments which I hope you can assist me with in whatever spare time may allow.1.

By John R.P. Russell July • 2013http://holydormition.blogspot.com/2013/07/1-usury-understandings-of-jus… an Afterword by Michael HoffmanThe Church’s constant condemnation of usury, which has its origins in the teaching of Jesus Christ, excellently exemplifies the nature of Catholic social teaching as contrasted with dogmatic teachings. In the interest of social justice, the Church must always respond to social realities.

In a 34 minute 50 second radio interview with Catholic author E. Michael Jones conducted by American Free Press editor Mark Anderson, at a point 31 minutes and ten seconds into the broadcast: Mr. Anderson says to Dr. Jones: "As Michael Hoffman has noted too, for so long usury was illegal, a sin, a disgrace —"(Jones interrupts Anderson): "First of all it has never ceased being a sin. The Catholic Church has never declared that usury is not sinful. It's still a sin. It's a mistake to think that the Church has changed its teaching on usury.

MICHAEL HOFFMAN: Note the favorable NY Times portrayal of the new, alleged "Vicar of Christ on earth" as a "deal maker" who works for the "lesser of two evils." When did Jesus Christ cut a deal and work for evil that was "lesser"? This is not the Gospel -- this is the situation ethics of the devil, which the pontiffs have been contaminated with ever since 1515 ,when Medici Pope Leo X issued a Bull permitting low interest loans to the poor, supposedly* so they wouldn't be victimized by the high interest loans of Judaic lenders.
