A Catholic Reflection on the Earth Charter

Hello, and welcome! The 2008 housing crisis woke me up to the fact that there is something gravely wrong with the way we have organized (or failed to organize) our society. Since then I have been searching for answers to my two fold question, “Where did we go wrong and how can we make it right again?” I created this blog to catalog the resources and natural law philosophies that have been lost on a cultural level which lead to liberty & freedom (occasionally I’ll add something from the Super-Natural Law too). Fulton J. Sheen is my hero but I’ve discovered a lot of other great authors as well! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Liberty is not the right to do whatever I please, nor is liberty the necessity of doing whatever the dictator dictates; rather liberty is the right to do what I ought. In these three words: “please,” “must,” and “ought” are given the choices facing the modern world. Of the three we choose “ought.” That little word ought signifies that man is free. Fire must be hot, ice must be cold, but a man ought to be good. “Ought” implies morality, i.e., a moral power distinct from a physical power.” ~Fulton Sheen, “Freedom Under God” chapter 3
