8.1 Pius VI: Quare Lacrymae

Full Text | Intro: One of the aims of The Josias is to translate integralist texts into English. From the commentaries and disputations of the great Baroque scholastics, to the writings of 20th century continental traditionalists, to the teachings of the popes before Leo XIII— many of the most important integralist writings are not yet available to anglophone readers. We begin our series with Quare Lacrymae, a speech of Pope Pius VI’s, which arguably begins the “modern” phase of Catholic social ...

1.1.2. The Object of the Moral Act

Full Text | by Edmund Waldstein, O.Cist. | 1. Acts are determined by their objects . 2. For acts have natures. 3. The goodness or evil of an act is derived in the first place from the goodness of their object. 4. Human acts, in the strict sense, are acts that proceed from reason and will. 5. Like all acts, moral acts are determined by their objects. 6. The object of the moral act thus has two components. 7. Objects which are “materially” the same can be determined as different kinds of actions b...

1.1.1.33. A polity is a complete society, concerned with the whole of human life, that can attain to the greatest natural common goods.

"so it is natural for many villages to come together to form a city (πόλις), a complete or perfect society, which does not depend on any greater society to help it achieve its ends. Such complete societies (which we can call ‘polities’ or ‘commonwealths’) take many forms in different times and places, but they always include some kind of rule ordering them to the common good."

1.1.1.31. Associations are incomplete societies that are able to achieve the common goods internal to a particular human practice.

"any coherent and complex form of socially established cooperative human activity through which goods internal to that form of activity are realized in the course of trying to achieve those standards of excellence which are appropriate to, and partially definitive of, that form of activity, with the result that human powers to achieve excellence, and human conceptions of the ends and goods involved, are systematically extended."

1.1.1.30. The family is an incomplete society that can attain to some common goods.

"There are certain common goods to which a family can attain: the common celebration of feasts, certain truths, the beauties of music, dance, and so on, and above all the tranquility of order of its own life... A family is thus in another sense incomplete, as it is naturally ordered to a greater society that enables it to achieve its own common goods better and to share in other, greater common goods."

1.1.1.28. Common goods are better than private goods.

"true common goods are honorable goods. Goods such as truth, justice, peace are common goods in the full sense. They are not diminished by being shared. Moreover they are not ordered to us; we are ordered to them. One desires to promote justice and truth for their own sakes. And they are better than private goods. It is honorable to attain a good for one man, but it is better and more godlike to attain a good in which many can share (cf. Nicomachean Ethics 1094b)."

1.1.1.26. Sin occurs when some lesser good is preferred to God.

"There is nothing sinful about loving lower goods as long as they are not preferred to higher goods; sin comes about when they are loved more than the higher goods, or in a way that is not compatible with loving God above all things. A sin is mortal if a lower good is chosen in a way incompatible with loving God as the final end of one’s life"

1.1.1.25. God is the objective happiness of all persons.

"In every creature what is desirable is the likeness of the Creator, but every creature falls short of the infinite perfection of the creator. God alone can satisfy. He is objective happiness"

1.1.1.24. Only persons love God directly in Himself.

"two kinds of knowledge of God: a natural knowledge that knows God indirectly as the cause of creatures and a supernatural knowledge that will behold God directly. And so there are two kinds of elicited love of God: a natural, and a supernatural love. The supernatural love of God is a gift of grace, which perfects natural love."

1.1.1.18. God is infinite perfection and goodness.

"There is nothing lacking in God. There is no division in Him, no distension of Him, no limit to Him. He is an infinite ocean of perfection, and He possesses it all at once in the eternal instant of His infinite life. There is no unrealized potential in God; He is pure act. And therefore He is infinitely and completely good. In the unspeakable happiness of the trinitarian life, God’s infinite perfection is known, expressed, loved, and given between three persons who are each the one God."
