At one time the AJC claimed to cover Dixie like the dew, now it’s the dew that covers the AJC.
“City Springs” in two different articles, really?
Guess that public investment is returning earned media dividends. And, almost, a spot on the national stage.
Teri, let’s hope the national media concentrates on Tyler Perry’s Studios rather that following the AJC on the “City Springs” location as the AJC pointed out. Where is City Springs anyway……. I don’t guess the AJC reporters get OTP very much.
“The social doctrine of the church is not something that gets a lot of attention,” Rubio told me. “I mean, its teachings on issues like marriage and abortion and so forth get all the coverage. But there’s a very rich social doctrine that sometimes is misinterpreted and sometimes just not understood. And a lot of it is based on the importance and value of work, but also on the obligation of the employer and of the private economy to provide dignified work.”
The senator argues that the primary purpose of capitalism is to provide for human dignity. He has concluded since losing the Republican nomination to Donald Trump in 2016 that corporate executives, by prioritizing shareholders above workers and quarterly profits above the national interest, have caused an existential crisis of confidence in the underpinnings of the free-enterprise system.
This leads me to ponder – how does one not know the basic social doctrine of Catholicism being raised in a Catholic family?
as a recovering catholic myself, i’d say pretty easily…
He still attends a Catholic church (and sometimes a Southern Baptist church).
