The Ongoing Exchange - Various Articles About the Periodicals Commonweal - The editors proudly boast: Historian Rodger Van Allen describes Commonweal as "perhaps the most significant lay enterprise and achievement in the history of American Catholicism." Others may differ, of course, but it is an entertaining read, generally "progressive Catholic" in tone and content, tilting leftward along the lines of the National Catholic Reporter and the Jesuit weekly America. Communio - [From the website]: Communio: International Catholic Review was founded in the early 70s by friends and collaborators of Pope John Paul II, such as Joseph Ratzinger, Henri de Lubac, and Hans Urs von Balthasar. John Paul II unarguably set the Church on the path to the genuine renewal called for by the Second Vatican Council—a renewal that eschews both accommodation to the zeitgeist and sectarian bitterness in order to let the light of the Gospel shine on the questions, problems, and anxieties of the age. Ever since its inception, Communio has been committed to this program of renewal through return to the sources of the authentic Tradition. Crisis Magazine - [from the website]: "The mission of CRISIS Magazine is to interpret and shape the direction of contemporary culture from a standpoint of Catholic tradition. We are dedicated to the proposition that the crisis of modernity can be answered by a Christian humanism rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church. We bring the wisdom of the Catholic tradition into direct dialogue with contemporary politics and culture." First Things is published by The Institute on Religion and Public Life, an interreligious, nonpartisan research and education institute whose purpose is to advance a religiously informed public philosophy for the ordering of society. It is especially known as the forum for such voices as Michael Novak, George Weigel, Richard John Neuhaus, and Cardinal Avery Dulles. Houston Catholic Worker, edited by Mark & Louise Zwick of Casa San Diego Markets & Morality, published by the Acton Institute, "promotes intellectual exploration of the relationship between economics and morality from both social science and theological perspectives. It seeks to bring together theologians, philosophers, economists, and other scholars for dialogue concerning the morality of the marketplace." The New Pantagruel - [From the website] The New Pantagruel, published by Pantagruel Press, is a quarterly electronic journal run by a cadre of intemperate but friendly Catholics and Protestants who have seen other electronic journals run by Christians, and thought that while they might not be able to do better, they could certainly do no worse. The New Pantagruel does not have a doctrinal statement such as is typical for publications of this sort because its creators haven't managed to agree on one. They do have an idea of what they’re about though, and if interested, you can read about it in the introduction to The New Pantagruel." Despite their disclaimer, they are by and large favorable to the "Augustinian Thomists" and generally critical of the "Whig Thomists" (Neuhaus, Novak, Weigel). Religion & Liberty, is a newsletter published by the Acton Institute for the study of Religion and Liberty. The University Concourse - is an independent journal of opinion published at Franciscan University, Ave Maria University and related Catholic institutions of higher learning. See the 'topics' directory for exchange of ideas on 'Christianity & Capitalism' and 'Distributism.'

Approaches to Economics
Economic Personalism "Economic personalism is a science of the morality of markets--an attempt to analyze the moral ramifications of economic activity in light of a theological vision of the human person. This includes a detailed exploration of economic theory, history, and methodology, as well as actual market practices, all viewed from the perspective of the Christian faith, particularly its recognition of the dignity of the human person and the concern for justice that stems from this recognition. . . . Economic personalists seek to provide a wholistic account of personal existence and thus supplement genuine economic science with a science of morality for the marketplace. Building upon the best in the Christian tradition, they seek to employ a specific understanding of humanity, one called personalism, coupled with the best economic science generated after a century of global market activity and theoretical development. In short, they seek nothing less than a fully Christian economic science, one that takes full account of the truths of productivity in the market along with the truth about the human person." -- Gregory M.
