Entry: A New Humanism in Europe Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/a_new_humanism_in_europe#6184 Post contents: Again, I must offer a correction. Dollfuss di not get his economics from Mussolini; he was a student of Othmar Spann, Karl Vogelsang, and Bishop Kettler (Mainz). In the biographies of him, one clearly sees that the same theories of society developed in Rerum Novarum and later in Quadragesimo Anno, not to mention Father Heinrich Pesch (S.J.)'s Lehrbuch, are at work. To suggest that Dollfuss and the "Austrian solution" is a copy of Mussolini's idealization, is false, and once again a calumny against a man who was, let me remind you, killed by the Nazis and a martyr to the Faith. Once again, an apology is owed to a very noble man, a defender of the faith, and one who attempted to implement true Catholic social principles, NOT the laic pseudo- Catholicism of "Christian democracy." By the way, inherent in both the German constitution (post war) and the Italian one, both dreamed up in' large part by Christian Democrats, are the seeds of the present dilemma those nations face...that is what I was saying.
