For such an explanation, one must turn to the heritage of Saint Thomas Aquinas. This builds upon what McGreevy speaks of as a view of human freedom that liberals idealized but traditional Catholics eschewed: "Drawing on Aristotle as mediated through Saint Thomas Aquinas, Catholics saw moral choice and personal development as inseparable from virtues nurtured in families and churches" (36), leading to "Catholics' uneasiness with a liberal emphasis on individual autonomy" (37). Aristotle himself and Saint Thomas Aquinas working as teammates on the same issue could not have done any better. |
