Libertas Part 6
In this episode we discuss paragraph 17. We talk about the Divine Positive Law as a way of knowing truth. The Divine Positive Law is that part of God's Eternal Law that covers revealed. Liberals from time to time accept some of the Natural Law (reason) but refuse to accept Divine Law. We also discuss how revelation is Morally Necessary, according to Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange. Our discourse on paragraph 18 focuses on Leo's treatment of the "separation of Church and State" fallacy. So-called pro-choice politicians who are "personally" pro-life are given as examples. Leo said that those who are in authority owe it to the commonwealth to "consult the welfare of men's souls in the wisdom of their legislation." Rob eloquently gives some of the roots of this idea of the state not paying heed to the Church's wisdom when he discussed Martin Luther's heresies. Luther taught that there is an invisible church, and "Between the Christian and the ruler, a profound separation must be made" and "Assuredly, a prince can be a Christian, but it is not as a Christian that he ought to govern."
