What makes a government or political community truly legitimate? On this solo segment of Driving Home the Faith, host and moral theology professor Dr. Ken Craycraft dives into one of the four core pillars of Catholic social doctrine: the Common Good. Drawing from Gaudium et Spes, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and his book Citizens Yet Strangers, Dr. Craycraft challenges modern secular political assumptions. He explains why our faith isn't private, how the common good encompasses non-material human flourishing (like justice and life of prayer), and why government has a duty to foster conditions where all people can reach fulfillment.
