Acton Institute’s Conference

The Action Institute is holding their “Acton University” this week.  While not quite the Third Vatican Council, dissidents everywhere will be attending it.  There will be even more than a few priests there witnessing the optionality of solidarity with the poor.  Some of the presenters will be making appearances on Catholic radio and television as experts with at most a caveat noting the views expressed are outside the mainstream of Catholic thought.  More often though it will simply be presented as an alternative viewpoint, posed as equally valid to the teaching put forth and reaffirmed since Rerum Novarum.
