Reflections
By Robert Barron in NZ Catholic, May 20-June 2, 2018, on cultural elites that dominate others:
“When we live in the space between good and evil, when morality is construed as entirely the invention of personal freedom, when nothing counts as intrinsically evil, when any claim to moral authority is shouted down … then the will of the most powerful necessarily holds sway.
“One of the extraordinary but overlooked qualities of a system of objective morality is that it is a check on the powerful and a protection of the most vulnerable.”
