Uelmen reviews "Modern Catholic Social Teaching"
The new collection, edited by Kenneth Hines and others, called "Modern Catholic Social Teaching", is reviewed by our own Amy Uelmen in the Oct. 21, 2005 issue of Commonweal. I do not have a link to the review, but can report that Amy characterizes the collection as generally "evenhanded," with the exception of Leslie Griffin's attack on John Paul II's "error has no rights" pontificate. Amy also regrets that complaints about the late Pope, and a lack of attention paid to the Compendium on the Social Doctrine of the Church are, in places, "distractions." And, noting that many of us tend to see in the CST tradition "the principles [we] support," she expresses the hope that we can "find a way to develop productive conversations about CST that reach across political and ideological lines." Mirror of Justice, anyone?
