Catholic bishop delves into problems of liberalism, 'society of little tyrants,' with politics professor
Fox News
Bishop Robert Barron described problems of the modern understanding of freedom as a "society of little tyrants" in an interview with Patrick Deneen.
"We've all become our own little tyrant," Barron said. "Now, there's not one tyrant. We're all a tyrant because, hey, look, it's my will, it's my desire. And as long as I don't harm you, I've got the freedom to do whatever I want. And then you've got a society of little tyrants who have no sense of cohesion or of a real common good." Thomas Phippen is an Editor at Fox News.
Philosophers of ancient Greece and the Christian tradition, Barron said, show that "the purpose of government really is to make us good, and it has something to do with virtue. And that freedom is not, as you're saying, simply doing what I want. … It's actually a kind of disciplining of your desire to make the achievement of virtue possible."
