The Things Orsy Thinks Are Interesting …
I love the things he thinks are interesting:
“This is an interesting topic for a creative inquiry: How can the church (always a faithful trustee of divine revelation) best honor human dignity in its members? What kind of moral obligations exist, what sorts of legal norms could best serve this purpose? The underlying assumption of any such inquiry is that to honor the dignity of human persons is to honor God.” (p. 57)
Well ya’d think.
“An interesting question: Do office holders have a moral duty to give an account to the community about the use of the power? Since the community consists of intelligent and free persons, it seems fitting (it appears to be of good order) that the community should hear from the officeholders how the common needs are served; they are the community’s needs, after all.” (p. 61)
A a moral duty to give an account to the community about the use of power, indeed.
