Just Law
A Just Law is an ordinance of reason which should be
properly promulgated by a competent authority for the
sake of common good.
-St. Thomas Aquinas
1.) Ordinance of reason - a product of careful and
serious deliberation. - must not be based on whim, emotion,
sentiments.
2.) proper promulgation - is properly announced and
spread. – it`s a combined task of the authorities and the
people concerned
Ignorance vs. innocence
Ignorance- you do not know only because you choose
not to know it. Innocence- you do not know because you
still don`t have the capacity to know it.
3.) Competent authority - only persons with legitimate
authority can make and promulgate the law.
4.) For the sake of common good - friendly to each
individual. – it must be for all.
“GOODLUCK AND GODBLESS”
