Summary
Chapter 8: Political disagreements between bishops and the laity are notable for two reasons: They are practical disagreements, and they are disagreements between a spiritual shepherd and his flock. These disagreements are best understood in light of the authority claims of bishops, the Aristotelian structure of the human action, and Catholic teaching on conscience.
