The Carmelies of Salamanca

The Carmelites of Salamanca are called "great" and "outstanding" theologians by no less than Pére Garrigou himself (Love of God Cross of Jesus v1 pg371)

A Good Choice for CUA Press?

I’m thrilled that @CUAPress is endeavoring to publish English Critical Editions of the works of Karol Wojtyla/John Paul II. Many of his works have not been translated.

Wonderful that they started with Person and Act— the previous English translation was fraught with problems. pic.twitter.com/Xy1aR3EKFm

Critical Edition of the Writings of Karol Wojtyla

How many libraries would be purchasing this collection? Libraries in Latin seminaries and universities might be interested, but is this really a good dedication of resources during a time of collapse? I'd rather see someone working on a bilingual critical edition of the Church Fathers. IMO, Karol Wojtyła's originality in philosophy and theology may not be overrated but its value is limited, and his importance for the patriarchate of Rome is definitely exaggerated.

CUA Press is doing a 20+ vol. English critical edition of all of Wojtyla/JPII's writings, starting with Person and Act. Huge. Also, Mike Aquilina's new compilation of the Fathers on the Mass, new translations of Piers Plowman and Pascal's Pensees... Looks like a great season.

Logic as a Liberal Art: An Introduction to Rhetoric and Reasoning by R. E. Houser.

CUA Press

A recview:

"Houser, whose text primarily relies on the deductive reasoning of Aristotelian logic—with a healthy dose of grammar and rhetoric at the beginning—helps us identify the prevalence of illogic in public discourse." @CUAPress https://t.co/QfGeKv66Bu

Thomas Behr, Social Justice and Subsidiarity

Social Justice and Subsidiarity: Luigi Taparelli and the Origins of Modern Catholic Social Thought

CWR Dispatch: Recovering the historical roots, true meaning of “social justice” by Gerald J. Russello
A review of Thomas Behr’s Social Justice and Subsidiarity, which explores the work of Luigi Taparelli, a Catholic thinker who advocated an approach to politics based in Thomistic natural law argument.

The Catholic understanding of rights is different because it is based in a different understanding of the person. We do have rights from our nature as human beings, but Catholic thought sees rights as ordered to higher goods. Our entitlement to exercise our rights is bound not just by our historical circumstances and those of our particular society, but also by conscience and “the clarity and utility of a chosen action in relation to the pursuit of the highest good. … The more directly related it is to the highest good, the stronger the claim of right. That is why certain rights are ‘inalienable’ – they are ineluctable requirements of order, of the orientation of the intellect to truth, and of the striving of persons within society for the ultimate good.”

In other words, we have rights in order to do something, not simply to exercise those rights in whatever way we subjectively may wish and desire.
