Insight Scoop: Benedict XVI on Blessed Duns Scotus, "Doctor subtilis"
Mike Augros on the common good. I think he is mistaken to accept the definition of the common good given in contemporary Catholic Social Teaching, instead of using one provided by Aristotle or St. Thomas. His intention might be good (fidelity to the Magisterium), but if it is the case that St. Thomas (and Aristotle) understand the common good to be something else, that is what we should be recovering, in opposition to liberalism and other errors.
