Entry: Obama and His Respondents and a Long Aside Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/obama_and_his_repondents_and_a_long_aside#24237 Post contents: @Woody, Thanks for the note regarding the issuance by Notre Dame of Charles de Koninck's "The Primacy of the Common Good," which deeply influenced my thinking many years ago. His profound critique of Maritain is still remarkable. Now, maybe I can retire my old and worn copy. Interesting aside: last year the Archbishop of Pamplona (Navarra, Spain) officially sancitioned the support by the Navarrese electorate of Carlist Catholic Traditionalist candidates to the Spanish Cortes. While the Traditionalists only garnered 45,000 votes in the last election, that does represent a more than 100 % increase in their totals from the last election. A small cipher, certainly...but for a Catholic, traditionalist, monarchist grouping [the oldest continuous political movement in Europe], well, it is significant. Sent at: 2008 10 14
