An incredibly good question

The note below is from the New York Times, from an opinion blog posted there. A fellow priest noticed this article and posted it on his Facebook page. Father Orthoduck found the question asked in the blog to be quite insightful as well and thought he would pass it on. Father Orthoduck encourages you to go to his blog and post answers to his question. Some of the comments are insightful, way too many are the type of unthinking spam that one sees on too many of today’s public blogs.

For starters, here’s an interesting blog post titled “The Economics of Jesus” which begins with this excellent line: “Jesus probably didn’t know much about macroeconomics, even though he was God.”
