Walsh vs. Feser - Is Feser a Suarezian? Dr. Lamont: "[S]cholars who believed themselves to be upholding anti-nominalist traditions...Suarez gave a characteristic description of law as ‘the act whereby a superior wills to bind an inferior to the performance of a particular deed"

J.P.A. @2Philosophical_ Matt Walsh lecturing @FeserEdward on Just War Theory is peak X idiocy — and that is saying something. 6:43 AM · Jan 6, 2026 · 15.1K Views https://catholicfamilynews.com/blog/2018/10/27/2018-10-27-tyranny-and-sexual-abuse-in-the-catholic-church-a-jesuit-tragedy/ Tyranny and Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church: A Jesuit Tragedy Dr. John R. T. Lamont In the light of new revelations about sexual abuse in the Church, many Catholics are asking how the situation that these revelations have disclosed can possibly have come about. The first question that occurs, a question of long standing, is; why did bishops deal with sexual abusers by concealing their offences and moving them to new assignments, rather than by removing them from ministry? No sufficient answer has yet been given to this question. It has now been made more pointed by a further question; how did Theodore McCarrick get appointed as Archbishop of Washington and Cardinal, and even become a principal draft...

Austin 1954, 285–8...noted that in Latin the name which signifies right as 17 The two senses...meaning faculty, also signifies law: “jus [. . .] denoting indifferently either of these two” (Austin 1954, 287), and complained that the German writers, like Kant and many of his followers, often blurred the two meanings, and that when they distinguished objektives from subjektives Recht, they erred in taking Recht to signify one genus divided into “two species or sorts,” in spite of the fact that “law” and “faculty” cannot be so understood.19 The confusion of law and right, he continued (see Austin 1954, 288), is avoided by our writers because commonly the two things denoted have these clearly different words to denote them. Austin’s commitment to the theory that all moral and legal duties are commands from a superior able to enforce them made it difficult for him to make sense of the notions of the obligation-creating power of autonomous willing and of the intrinsic value of personhood

MACHINE WORSHIP How Modern Man is trapped in his own inventions...ideas and processes which have produced a system of machine worship, replacing the earlier revolutionary cult of the worship of Man.

Forwarded this email?  Subscribe here  for more MACHINE WORSHIP How Modern Man is trapped in his own inventions Frank Wright Dec 19   READ IN APP   In this brief series I will explain some of the ideas and processes which have produced a system of machine worship, replacing the earlier revolutionary cult of the worship of Man. Seen from a critical perspective, modern “progress” from the deification of Man to that of his machines is the liberation of mankind into a trap. FROM MAN TO MACHINE Our lives are already shaped by machines. Socialised on algorithms, our food and food-for-thought are produced by a constantly refining technique and technology on whose products we increasingly rely for our sustenance and our sense of reality. Yet the  progress  of the last century towards a  utopian technological society  seems to have  hit the brick wall of reality . The  consensus politics  that has managed the West by this technique has produ...
