Request of Geeky Catholics

Dear Geeky Catholic Reader,

I'm very interested in the question of property and distributism. I'm thinking its a flaw in an American context because it may not be nearly as necessary as it seems and the means of getting it into smaller hands may be problematic for other reasons. If you have any essays or thoughts on this topic, drop me a line.

"It is essential to cultivate and spread a clear ethic that is up to the task of addressing current challenges: Everyone should educate themselves in more wise and responsible consumption; promote personal responsibility, along with the social dimension of rural activities, which are based on perennial values, such as hospitality, solidarity, and the sharing of the toil of labor. More than a few young people have already chosen this path; also many professionals are returning to dedicate themselves to the agricultural enterprise, feeling that they are responding not only to a personal and family need, but also to a 'sign of the times,' to a concrete sensibility for the 'common good.'

"Let us pray to the Virgin Mary that these reflections can serve as a stimulus to the international community, while we give our thanks to God for the fruits of the earth and the work of man."

Pope Benedict XVI
