Please point me to the very best book you know of on traditional Catholic political philosophy. Thanks in advance.

Who shall suffer eternal punishment in destruction, from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.... And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying: That all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity."

I don't know if it would meet your expectations of being "traditional," but Fr. James Schall has a series of essays entitled (not very creatively) Roman Catholic Political Philosophy that you might find interesting. ETA: A quick search of Schall's political works on Amazon yielded this: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=roman+catholic+politcal+philosophy+schall&x=0&y=0 |

"But Christianity preaches an obviously unattractive idea, such as original sin; but when we wait for its results, they are pathos and brotherhood, and a thunder of laughter and pity; for only with original sin we can at once pity the beggar and distrust the king." -- G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

I n N omine P atris, E t F ilii, E t S piritus S ancti "The practice of the Church has always been the same, as is shown by the unanimous teaching of the Fathers, who were wont to hold as outside Catholic communion, and alien to the Church, whoever would recede in the least degree from any point of doctrine proposed by her authoritative magisterium" (Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum, no. 9, June 29, 1896). “Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time” (2 Peter 1:10).

I have that. His writing is more idiosyncratic than I'm looking for. But thanks. |

If only Jackson K. Eskew was still here. He could offer some good advice.
Yet, for some reason I feel his presence nearby.
I almost feel as if he was only a post away from me.
Weird.

Fair enough. I'm sorry that I'm not much help to you, then. |

I haven't gotten around to reading him just yet, but I've heard good things about Ernest Fortin. Might be worth a shot.
