Sin And The Hacker Ethic: The Tragedy Of Techno-Utopian Ideology In Cyberspace Business Cultures, Bruce D. Baker
Sin And The Hacker Ethic: The Tragedy Of Techno-Utopian Ideology In Cyberspace Business Cultures, Bruce D. Baker
Journal of Religion and Business Ethics
This article traces the course of idealistic thinking in the “hacker ethic” of the computer industry, with the aim of diagnosing the unfortunate lapses in business ethics that can ensue from idealistic thinking. Several Silicon Valley companies are mentioned, but Facebook is the prime example, simply because they are the biggest target and clearest example of bad ethics. The original “hacker ethic” was founded on admirable ideals, but the problem occurs when these ideals are used to rationalize a self-serving ideology. Facebook’s history shows how idealistic thinking can become embedded in a business culture. As an antidote to the ethical …
Hospitality Ethos With Justice And Dignity: Catholic, Vincentian, And Jesuit Perspectives On Global Migration, Marco Tavanti Ph.D.
Hospitality Ethos With Justice And Dignity: Catholic, Vincentian, And Jesuit Perspectives On Global Migration, Marco Tavanti Ph.D.
Vincentian Studies
Marco Tavanti examines the causes, consequences, and problems of global migration, and particularly forced migration, as human rights issues. We owe caritas, “human-divine love,” to migrants and must therefore treat them with a hospitality founded on justice and dignity. In the Abrahamic religions, hospitality is “generosity and graciousness” extended to friends and potentially dangerous strangers alike as a “service to God and humanity.” Such hospitality is “based on the needs of the guest, not the benefit of the host.” Hospitality was central to early Christianity and remains an imperative for today’s Church. Social justice’s role in hospitality is explored, …
You Were Told To Love The Immigrant, But What If The Story Never Happened? Hospitality And United States Immigration Law, Craig B. Mousin
You Were Told To Love The Immigrant, But What If The Story Never Happened? Hospitality And United States Immigration Law, Craig B. Mousin
Vincentian Studies
The biblical narrative served as an inspiration in creating the government of the United States and grounds Christian ethics. People of faith must decide how to interpret and live out the narrative in the present day. The Bible, which is full of stories about exile, should therefore shape our response to immigration. Craig Mousin examines what the Bible says about the treatment of immigrants and applies current immigration law to imagined cases of biblical figures. All of them, including Jesus, would have been denied entry, deported, or forced to live as undocumented immigrants. Mousin then situates immigration within the context …
Capitalism, Socialism, And Biblical Ethics, Clive Beed, Cara Beed
Capitalism, Socialism, And Biblical Ethics, Clive Beed, Cara Beed
Journal of Religion and Business Ethics
Capitalism versus socialism has raised its head again in biblical ethics. Debate has re-ignited among Christians on whether capitalism is compatible with Christianity. In the US, a majority view is that held by conservative evangelicals who are ready to maintain capitalism as it is. Conversely, a minority position is put by the Radical Orthodoxy School, more inclined to socialism. Other positions also exist, for example, that neither capitalism nor socialism is compatible with Christianity. This paper tries to pick its way through these contentions, emphasizing the arguments of contemporary Christian supporters of capitalism. It focuses on three Christian qualities the …
The Ethical-Religious Framework For Shalom, Michael E. Cafferky
The Ethical-Religious Framework For Shalom, Michael E. Cafferky
Journal of Religion and Business Ethics
This paper explores the ancient Hebrew Decalogue, the Ten Commandments, a traditional ethical-religious framework for business conduct, in terms of its contribution to well-being. Some elements of the Decalogue align with what contemporary scholars believe are generally-accepted moral principles expected of businesses. This paper addresses the question of how all the elements of the Decalogue might contribute to the Hebrew concept of Shalom. The purpose of the Decalogue is established in the context of a covenant community of believers. Each of the Ten Commandments is evaluated in terms of its contribution to Shalom.

Maloney, Robert
Publisher's Note: He Hears the Cry of the Poor is based on conferences and talks Father Maloney gave to Vincentians and Daughters of Charity during the last two years. Drawing from the letters and conferences of Vincent de Paul, he then makes the solid connection to contemporary issues. It touches on vital questions for religious communities today: the renewal of community and prayer life; the apostolate; the growing international character of communities and the related inter-cultural challenges; inculturation; and the shift in vocations from North to South. Father Maloney offers his many years of experience and expertise to relay an …

Toward Eternity: Elizabeth's Experience Of Suffering And Hope, Regina M. Bechtle S.C., Fay Trombley S.C.I.C.
Vincentian Studies
Elizabeth Seton’s response to suffering is examined to help us respond to suffering in our own lives. There were three “clusters of sufferings” in her life, which correspond to the three periods of her life, childhood and adolescence, marriage and young womanhood, and mature womanhood. Each cluster of sufferings helped prepare her for the challenges of the next phase of her life. Three perspectives are used to interpret Elizabeth’s experience: human wisdom (in the form of Erik Erikson’s psycho-social theory of human development), Scripture (particularly “Israel’s journey of gift and conversion”), and tradition (the theology of the Dark Night in …

The Spirituality Of Louise De Marillac: Moved By The Spirit To Charity, Louise Sullivan D.C.
The Spirituality Of Louise De Marillac: Moved By The Spirit To Charity, Louise Sullivan D.C.
Vincentian Studies
This article continues the one that immediately precedes it in this issue. It traces the development of Louise de Marillac’s spirituality just before, during, and after the establishment of the Daughters of Charity. Anxiety over her son was the last major obstacle to the tranquility she needed to begin the Company. By 1633, she could devote herself to the spiritual formation of the Daughters and to foster the love they had for each other, which in turn was to be motivated by the love that Christ crucified had for the poor. All other relationships were to be put aside in …
