COMMON GOOD

COMMON GOOD


THE COMMON GOOD TRUMPS PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
THE LAW OF GOD TRUMPS THE SECOND AMENDMENT
WHEN A SINGLE PULL OF A TRIGGER
PUTS TEN BULLETS IN A CHILD’S BODY
IN CIVILIAN LIFE
WHO NEEDS THAT WEAPON
ITS CAPACITY TO HARM

WHEN CHRIST WAS QUESTIONED
SHOULD WE USE WEAPONS
HE ASKED
HOW MANY HAVE YOU

TWO THEY REPLIED

IT IS ENOUGH

WHAT NEED DO WE HAVE OF WEAPONS
IN EXCESS NUMBERS AND CAPACITY
IN CIVILIAN LIFE
WHEN IT CAN HARM OUR NEIGHBOR

THE COMMON GOOD PREVAILS

ALL OTHER THINGS BOW BEFORE IT


FRANK A VOLLMER



This is the rule of most perfect Christianity, its most exact definition, its highest point, namely, the seeking of the common good. For nothing can so make a person an imitator of Christ as caring for their neighbors.

St. John Chrysostom
