The Primacy of the Common Good: Pater Edmund Waldstein

What's with the ads every 10min?

I noticed that any thing to do with a racial category like 'nation' has not even been used. He also does not mention the phrase "the moral order". For the moral order does not include 'mankind'. De Koninck seems to have made up his own definitions of what virtue is. In Latin, originally, 'virtus' had NO moral meaning whatsoever. In II Peter 1:5 the author says, "Supplement The Faith with Arete". Now arete does have moral meaning and its definitions were solidified before it was said there. Why are Roman Catholics so determined to rewrite history and definitions of words? For the Arete of righteousness uses the Greek term 'patrida' translated as 'fatherland', blood and soil. Yet, we skip and dance around this part! The Common Good is the Common Good of one's kin society, one's nation. That is the moral order. Another thing missing is the word "duty". There is just a lot of weasel words, redefinitions, and the heresy of globalization in this talk. I call it no good.

This is not the best advertisement for Thomas More College. Pater Edmund Waldstein is reading to the students. His voice is bland without any passion or interest. There is so much to say about the Common Good that is interactive and exciting in today's world. I doubt that many people would apply based on this video. Always put your best foot forward to attract investigative minds. E, Maloney-O

I disagree. The topic is interesting in and of itself, and he has a measured delivery. I think a truly investigative mind will attend to what is being said here, and those who need the 'honey to help the wormwood go down', won't. These small catholic colleges tend to have more applicants than they can accept, rather than the other way around, anyway.
