I heard a great phrase on Catholic TV last night. When it comes to political philosophies, "Don't look left, don't look right, look up!" Look to God.
There is a GREAT article about the Wall Street protesters, and Herman Cain's response to them. This article contrasts both with John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. I challege you to read it.

Very nice article. We Nazarenes are deeply steeped in the Weslean-Arminian traditions and I read quite a bit of Wesley as an undergraduate at a Nazarene college. Can't say I agree with all of it, much less fully understand it(John Wesley was WAY smart) and I wonder how he would address people like us, who live in a society that is wealthy beyond the wildest dreams of most folks. I'm interested in how you as a Methodist-turned-Catholic integrate a notable Protestant like Wesley into your beliefs.
