About Summum Bonum
Summum Bonum was created by a couple of over-educated academics who have no connections in upper echelons of the public policy world, the Catholic world, or any other world for that matter. We do, however, have much to say; we are informed and we believe it’s incumbent upon us to say something in the defense of fides et ratio. One of us has an academic position, the other is a writer.
We take as our inspiration a quotation from Benedict XVI:”The novelty of Christian proclamation consists in one fact: He has revealed Himself. Yet this is no blind fact, but one that is itself Logos—the presence in our flesh of eternal reason. Verbum caro factum est (Jn. 1:14): Just so, amid what is made (factum) there is now Logos, Logos is among us. Creation (factum) is rational.” — Benedict XVI, “On the Roots of European Culture,” Address to the World of Culture, Collège des Bernardins, Paris; September 12, 2008.
