His other widely praised books are 1776, Brave Companions, The Great Bridge, and The Johnstown Flood. He joins Al to discuss what drives him, what inspires him, and what qualifies as good literature.
4:40 – Egypt and the Financial Markets
Stocks edged up last week as investors grew hopeful that the political standoff in Egypt will be contained and resolved peacefully, while the euro eased back from three-month highs against the dollar after a ratings downgrade of Ireland. Though Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak' vow late Tuesday to not stand for president again in September has not stopped the protests, there is a feeling in the markets that a peaceful transition may be in the works. George Schwartz, President and portfolio manager of the Ave Maria Family of Funds and author of Good Returns: Making Money by Morally Responsible Investing is here to analyze the markets and how they are responding to the Middle East turmoil.

Al,
ReplyDeleteI caught the very end of the speech that Justice Thomas gave at Legatus. I would like to hear the rest of it, but I noticed that the next day the link for that hour of the show was not available. I've searched YouTube and Google without any luck. Will you please post that interview again please.
Thomas,
ReplyDeleteSorry, but we are not going to have the speech up on the podcast or sell CDs of that hour. It is not our intellectual property to distribute any further than we did.

Abp Gomez recently stated in FL that Jesus was a forced immigrant. The Abp is not correct.
ReplyDeleteThe Holy Family lived within the Roman Empire which included Egypt and the other places visited by the Holy Family. The Holy Family travelled to be obey laws or protect the life of Jesus.
This travel within the Roman Empire would be like travelling from one State to another State within the USA, and is not immigration.
You will find the following within the "Catechism of the Catholic Church, Second Edition" that:
1) All Countries are allowed to pass immigration laws (which is even done by the Vatican);
2) Immigrants are required to obey the laws of the host Country;
3) The Church is Not to be involved in politics except to Save Souls and regarding the Fundamental Rights of All Men according to the Gospel;
4) Bishops are responsible for everything "Catholic" within their own Diocese and must teach according to the teachings of the Magisterium, not the USCCB or other Bishop's Conferences. The Abp's LA Diocese does not encourage and promote the reading of the CCC by all those over age 15.
