Canon 747



If Canon 747 §1 and §2 apply to the Church as a whole, and not just to the bishops, then the canon taken by itself does not imply any sort of Latin integralist theory regarding the authority of the bishops (or the pope) in relation to the political community. As it stands the canon does not tell us what qualifications are needed to "announce moral principles, even about the social order, and to render judgment concerning any human affairs insofar as the fundamental rights of the human person or the salvation of souls requires it." Not all Latins are experts in moral theology, and this is true of Latin bishops as well. And a knowledge of the basic laws or commandments of God does not guarantee that one can reason well from them to derive secondary, positive human legislation or even policy positions.

Seeing a Theme Today

How "liberalism" that is "conservatism" is insufficient to respond to adherents of the new woke religion.





More valuable advice in the following than the same-old liberalism of professional conservatives like Robert George, who would have you charge from your trench across No Man's Land.

Solidarity

As a "principle" of Roman Catholic social teaching, solidarity by itself it is insufficient to elaborate a systematic moral theology. We should diligere all with caritas, but that doesn't entail that we should diligere all equally. An essay like this cannot be systematic, given the limits of length, nor should it have attempted to cursorily mention difficult moral problems as if solidarity (or caritas) could tell us what to do.

What Is the Source of the New Woke Religion?

Protestant Christianity? Secularized Yankee culture? Something else?

At the moment I am dubious of genealogies that put the blame on American Protestant culture, even if such a polemic is convenient for Latin apologists.

Modern Age

Can conservatives get state governments to give money directly to parents? I doubt it. Even if they take over local state boards, their schools would still have to follow state mandates regarding standards and content. (See, for example, California, and its imposition of Rainbow values through public educatio.)

Remaking Great Britain



No public discussion of getting rid of this, but someone is probably thinking of it, and would like to do so.
