Reading the Pope in America

In the National Review, Michael Novek performs a little textual analysis of Pope Benedict XVI’s recent encylical:

In its practical recommendations about political economy, however, this encyclical appears to be riding two horses – the russet horse of those who think the state is the main road to the common good, and the pale horse of those who think the strictly limited state should spur a thousand free initiatives and civic actions as a surer carrier toward the common good.

Check out the rest.
