Catholic author says ‘elites’ threaten American dream with ‘War on Virtue’ -
Such leaders “think that there are certain segments of our population, which are not capable on their own, of practicing the vital virtues of personal responsibility, self-control and perseverance, the vital virtues which enable all other people to succeed in society,” said Mr. Donohoe, longtime head of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights.
Mr. Donohoe expands on these themes in his new book, “War on Virtue: How the Ruling Class is Killing the American Dream,” which was published last week by Sophia Institute Press. Such thinking, Mr. Donohue said, extends to the modern age and has sparked what Charles Murray called the “custodial democracy” in which the state has to assist Blacks and “push them across the finish line.”
Mr. Donahue said a return to the “natural law” common to Aristotle’s and St. Thomas Aquinas’ works is a way forward.
