Catholic Herald Promotes Guilds and Distributism

Britain's "leading Catholic newspaper" has extolled the virtues of Catholic Social Teaching an an answer to usurious-banking, debt and the "credit crunch."

This is a welcome move away from short-term, "trendy" (to borrow from Chesterton) fads, to go back to the authentic Catholic Social Teaching, especially of the pre-war Popes and in particular Pope Leo XIII of blessed memory (who gave us the prayer to St Michael the Archangel after every low Mass).

Catholic Social Action in Sierra Leone

The Trust of St Michael the Archangel (TSMA) has been contacted by the Sierra Leone Chesterton Centre, in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a hope of co-operation and funding.

TSMA is minded to help this project because helping Africans become self-sufficient, improving local health care, encouraging full-term education, promoting co-operatives, agricultural training, developing communities and reinvigorating Africa through a vibrant Catholic Faith with all its socio-economic benefits, will help to take Africa back from the brink of war, famine, debt and suchlike.
