"Three things:
1.) fitting I buy this book at the Harvard Square bookstore.
2.) It’s useful to originate the MAGA phenomenon in the 1960, but it’s far from accurate. And, relatedly
3.) Through the introduction there is much of the usual talk: centering female/bipoc experience, problematizing the family, framing native climate experiences but not a damn word given to deindustrialization. Typical" — Jun 11, 2025 09:35AM

“The ultimate expression of this Christian attitude toward the power of money is what we will call profanation. To profane money, like all other powers, is to take away its sacred character.... Giving to God is the act of profanation par excellence.... We need to regain an appreciation of gifts that are not utilitarian. We should meditate on the story in the Gospel of John where Mary wastes precious ointment on Jesus. The one who protests against this free gift is Judas. He would have preferred it to be used for good works, for the poor. He wanted such an enormous sum of money to be spent usefully. Giving to God introduces the useless into the world of efficiency, and this is an essential witness to faith in today's world.”
