La ley natural no es una ley de la naturaleza, en el sentido de que ésta sea su causa, sino su medio para conocer una ley que viene de Dios. Naturaliter.

Russell Hittinger {respuesta a James Skillen}: These words are very tricky, especially if you go through the three foci of natural law. For instance, the noun in its nominative case—natura—is not the best one theologically. The adverb—naturaliter—works better. It's not merely coincidental that the Church Fathers and even Aquinas used the adverb wherever possible to avoid the suggestion that nat...

La idea de Rahner del pluralismo religioso, de que cada cual ha de ser fiel a su religión, a un logos desencarnado, que se manifiesta de muchas maneras, ha influido mucho en la descristianización del iusnaturalismo

Repuesta de Carl E. Braaten (protestante) sobre la ponencia de Hittinger: Russell Hittinger has told the story of how natural law has been misused, not only how it was "disembedded from moral theology," but how "moral theology was disembedded from the rest of theology." Yet to my mind this is only half the story The other half concerns the inner sanctum of Christian theology the Gospel of salva...

“Un Dios sin ira llevó a los hombres sin pecado a un reino sin juicio a través de un Cristo sin cruz.”

La noción moderna de ley natural se ha degradado tanto, que es preciso enmarcarla de nuevo en su contexto original si queremos dar una explicación razonable de la misma

Father Murray would have been mortified, but perhaps not completely surprised, by the spectacle of that collapse in our times. In 1991, on the eve of the Senate hearings on the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, Senator Joseph Biden took the position that the Judiciary Committee should explore whether Judge Thomas held a "good" or "bad" theory of natural law. A bad theory of na...

El mito de los derechos naturales frente al Estado

El mito del estado de naturaleza con sus derechos, anteriores al Estado, presenta al hombre como naturalmente no sujeto a ninguna autoridad, tampoco humana. Lo cual es contrario al mensaje cristiano: But once again, what the Pope has to grapple with in this respect is not only decades of neglect ad intra, where the theme of natural law was detached from the fun­damental principles of theology,...

La cuestión sobre el bien es fundamentalmente una cuestión religiosa

En la Veritatis Splendor, el Papa enmarca toda su reflexión en la pregunta del joven rico, "Y cierto hombre prominente le preguntó, diciendo: Maestro bueno, ¿qué haré para heredar la vida eterna? Jesús le respondió: ¿Por qué me llamas bueno? Nadie es bueno, sino sólo uno, Dios. Tú sabes los mandamientos... The Pope explains in the first chapter that the first and ultimate question of morality ...

El orden moral es creado por la divina providencia, no por el hombre solo

Here, at last, we reach something fundamental for moral theology. Is the moral order a creature of divine providence, or does divine governance have to be added on to an already complete and autonomous human jurisdiction over morals? Here we are not worrying about the morality of gambling or contraception. Rather, the problem is the condition(s) of the possibility of moral theology. If God prov...

Teología moral fragmentada. Se separa la ley natural de las virtues y de la referencia al fin último

Not only was natural law disembedded from moral theology, but moral theology was dis- embedded from the rest of theology. In his encyclical Aetemi Patris (1879), Leo XIII anticipated the problem of theology's being done piecemeal, with a lurching from issue to issue, and with the chief means of resolution being the application of authority. He wrote: "For in this, the most noble of studies, it ...

Tras la segunda guerra mundial, el entusiasmo iunsaturalista llevó a muchos cristianos a abrazar teorías "iunsaturalistas" muy poco cristianas, y por tanto sin fundamento

The high tide of the overestimation of natural law discourse was the post-World War Two era, when the Church was eager to reinforce the right lessons of the war. Western modernity found itself recoiling from legal positivism, and moving honestly (if temporarily) to reform its polities on the basis of ideas about human dignity and natural rights. Catholic philosophers and theologians like Jacque...

El iusnaturalismo moderno ideo el "estado de naturaleza" para justificar el origen de la ley natural, desvinculada de Dios

Yet the main reason for the eclipse of the theology of natural law was the theologico-political problem. What better way to solve such a problem than to imagine men's appealing to no authority other than what is first in the mind? Virtually all of the Enlightenment "state of nature" scenarios make this move. In Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Kant, man is considered in an "original" position, unde...

La ley es natural por el modo en que la conocemos, no porque la cree el hombre

Tertullian used the adverb naturaliter (naturally) not to characterize the law but rather to describe how it is known. Nature is not the law but the mode of kno wing it. This Latin adverb would eventually find its way into the Vulgate translation of Romans 2:14-15 to characterize what the gentiles know or do without benefit of divine positive law. Thomas Aquinas frequently uses the same term in...

La razón humana no tiene la primacía en el orden causal de la ley natural, sino la razón divina

Although his modern readers have little inclination to discriminate among the three foci (natural law in the mind, in nature, in the mind of God) or to reflect upon their order of priority, Thomas understood what is at stake in arriving at a proper definition. The fact that we first perceive ourselves discovering or grasping a rule of action does not mean that human mind is first in the causal ...

La ley natural puede ser comprendida en tres sentidos: ley de nuestra razón prác

La ley natural puede ser comprendida en tres sentidos: ley de nuestra razón práctica, ley impresa en la naturaleza y como ley de Dios LITERAL, p. 2 But first, what is a theory of natural law a theory of? The question can be approached in th ree ways. In the first place, natural law can be regarded as a matter of cognition. Thus, when a theorist reconnects debate about Justice back to first pri...
