Law, Morality, and Just Wages

X-posted from my personal blog:

In a recent TCS Daily column, I discussed the theological requirement that faithful Catholics assent to the Church's Magisterium; i.e., that Catholics are obliged to defer to authoritative Church teaching on issues of faith and morals. In this week's column, I turn to a specific application of that duty; namely, recent Church hierarchy pronouncements on the minimum wage.
