CHARLES MERCEICA CLAIMS CAPITALISM OPPOSES CHRISTIANITY
and I can't really disagree with him as he explains his theories in this essay.
However, I also can't help but note that he has used the benefits of capitalism which have enabled him to fly all over the world since 1967 (the year he began the organization that is now the International Association of Educators for World Peace) to create the mega-association of which he is the president.
Without capitalism, he would still be on the farm using horses to do the plowing. Without capitalism there would be no Ford Motor Company to begin the use of automobiles as transportation that gets him from his home to the airport to his hotel. Without capitalism the computer on which Mercieca spreads his message would not exist, nor would the telephone he uses to keep in touch with his constituency around the world. It is capitalism that has made his existence as he structurs it possible. So does he really oppose capitalism? His words sound good. His actions deny them. Perhaps he only opposes capitalism as it applies to us and not as it applies to him.
Can someone use what he condemns and remain credible?
