Cohn's Casuistry

Michael Sean Winters  |  Sep. 4, 2012 Distinctly Catholic

Jonathan Cohn, at the New Republic [1], examines the media's coverage of Congressman Ryan's convention speech and the degree to which it was less than honest. Cohn is one of the smartest policy analysts I know of, and here he engages in the fine art of casuistry, which got a bad name in Elizabethan England and Port Royal, but which is nothing else than a concern for precision in moral analysis. Bravo.
