Day 252: The Common Good (2024)
September 8th, 2024 | 18 mins 16 secs
basic needs, citizens, civil society, common good, defence, defense, fulfillment, globalization, human family, inalienable rights, interdependence, migrants, military, peace, political community, politics, refugees, right to privacy, security, social conditions, social nature, universal common good
The Catechism sets up a pair of definitions for us that, at first glance, appear circular, but upon close examination, reveal profound interdependence: “The good of each individual is necessarily related to the common good, which in turn can be defined only in reference to the human person.” Fr. Mike uses a fascinating thought experiment to illustrate where the common good originates: you. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1905-1912.
