On a personal note, I would have to admit my preference for the works of men such as Heinrich Pesch, Hilaire Belloc, C.K. Chesterton, Arthur Penty, G.R.S. Taylor, Fr. Vincent McNabb, John Medaille and others who would (with the exception of Pesch) generally fall under the banner of what is referred to as Distributism or even Corporatist. I am by no means a fusionist, much less a classical liberal.

At any rate, I am always glad to hear someone admit to enjoying my site. Thank you for the remarks.

As to the discussion at hand, I would turn to the writings of Michael Novak, Avery Cardinal Dulles, Father Richard Neuhaus and Rev. Robert Sirico. They are much better in their handling of economics and Catholic social teaching than is Thomas Woods.

“Gentlemen, – The Repeal of the Corn Laws in England is the greatest triumph of Free Trade in the nineteenth century. … Everyone knows that in England the struggle between Liberals and Democrats takes the name of the struggle between Free Traders and Chartists. … To sum up, what is Free Trade under the present conditions of society? Feeedom of Capital.
… there will always be a class which exploits and a class which is exploited. … The only result will be that the antagonism of these two classes will stand out more clearly. … Moreover, the Protective system is nothing but a means of establishing manufacture upon a large scale in any given country … But, generally speaking, the Protective system in these days is conservative, while the Free Trade system works destructively. It breaks up old nationalities and carries antagonism of proletariat and bourgeoisie to the uttermost point. In a word, the Free Trade system hastens the Social Revolution. In this revolutionary sense alone, gentlemen, I am in favor of Free Trade.”

So there are two points that immediately condemn Free Trade as Christian–(1) It is formulated by Marxists (its origins are evil; (2) It has ulterior motives that connect to an evil design, (i.e. the destruction of the Old Order). Free Trade is not Christian.
