The American Pope and the American Constitution
In brief
Thomas McDonough argues that society should follow the advice of the American Pope to rediscover the true Constitution.
Writing for Public Discourse, McDonough notes that Brownson advocated for a long-term, multi-pronged rediscovery of a Constitution based on ordered liberty. This vision relies on a balance of unity in diversity rooted in natural law and the pursuit of the common good.
