Br. Dominic Bouck, O.P., on Civic Virtue

"It's very easy to have a distaste for the current political races in our country, most notably the presidential campaign season currently underway. Straight talk and attractive slogans aren't bad in themselves, but there seems to be a deeper disorder under the salty surface.

"This bad bloom of a situation has its roots in a particular vice: self-touting. This is the naked ambition for high office wherein one begs for approval. Self-touting goes against human nature, leads to a degradation of the human person, and subsequently drags down human society."

In a recent commentary, Brother Dominic Bouck, O.P., reflected on civic virtue and its role in politics (especially in the United States).
