    Excellent! Even for an agnostic like myself. It is the NATURAL law, after all.

    It is human nature as understood by human reason.

    All modern jurists know that natural law theory is an antiquated and deeply flawed jurisprudence. Catholics would be wise to relegate natural law to the history books, and not attempt to resuscitate this judicial theory to interpret (or worse, amend) our current systems of law.

      Natural law is not something that catholics can or should leave behind. The belief that God created the world and imposes upon it a proper order is an intrinsic to the Christian faith.

      @@skyfox4072 Respectfully, your comment misses my point. I said that Natural Law Theory is a deeply flawed jurisprudence. As a theory, in and of itself, it can be acceptable for Christians to hold in their minds. But it is not something jurists or judges should apply or adhere to in their legal practice. One primary reason why Natural Law Theory is an antiquated jurisprudence is because there is too much discretion in its application. Simply put, the ideas of natural law are not regulated by a fixed standard. Thus, not a justiciable standard.

      Natural law is the foundation upon which the Constitution was written. Saying that it is antiquated is like saying the Bill of Rights is antiquated. To say that natural law should be abandoned but also that our current laws, namely the Constitution be retained is incoherent. Natural law is itself a fixed standard. It can be known and discerned through reason. You seem to be advocating for some sort of moral relativism in the law, which is repugnant to the Constitution and is not a fixed standard. What exactly would you replace Natural Law with? The ideology of the week?

      ​​@@BCbound2011It would only be so if there is no objective order to things in particular humanity and human societies, cultures, and nations (in other words that it were imposed rather than being as it the theory says natural and so human nature). It only is so if one assumes a nominalistic metaphysic. If there is a real human nature, it is utter folly not to include integrating it and with in mind in our approach to justice, or else it will always be malformed to govern we the humans it governs.

      I think your claim is confused. Perhaps in the logical positivist era natural law was unpopular, but it's not anymore. And something being unpopular doesn't mean it's false, anyway.
