Entry: Obama and His Respondents and a Long Aside Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/obama_and_his_repondents_and_a_long_aside#24099 Post contents: Pardon me for interjecting the following, which, since it concerns politics generally, is related to this topic, but perhaps only tangentially so, given the state of the debate among the three candidates and the general individualism of the country, as noted by the Holy Father this past week as well: From Cardinal Garcia, of Valencia, in the run up to the Spanish elections: “The Church has always taught the primacy of the common good, and in doing so, has educated good citizens for each State,” the cardinal said. “Whoever wants to grow in love according to the model of Jesus Christ cannot set aside his obligations towards the community in which he lives.” And further on the issue of the primacy of the common good, I just discovered that Notre Dame Press is releasing volume 1 of a projected three volume collected works of Charles de Koninck, a Dr. Cathey favorite, and whose most famous work is “The Primacy of the Common Good: Against the Personalists” which to date seems to be available only in French, but hopefully will be in translation in the following volumes from Notre Dame.
