 Our Description


This volume consists of the addresses delivered to the 22nd Annual Convention of the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars held in Chicago in September 1999. Each chapter includes a discussion of one of the major themes related to the contemporary question of marriage and the common good expounded by a competent senior scholar, followed by a response on the same subject by a younger scholar. The end result is an in-depth treatment of several of the major issues that concern marriage and the family today.

The major subjects covered include marriage, fatherhood, the threat of so-called homosexual “marriages,” women’s roles, economics, and birth control. Speakers included Alice von Hildebrand, David Blankenhorn, Robert P. George, Jean Bethke Elshtain, and William E. May. The convention keynoter was Stratford Caldecott.

Various other contributors join their professional competencies with their Catholic faith and, in this way, present enlightened considerations of such topics as fatherhood, marriage law, and the aging population. This book is a wonderful example of the riches that can be gained by integrating faith and reason. Marriage and the Common Good has imminent and lasting value for both the Church and secular s Full Review...
