The Myth of Human Rights according to Thomas Fleming

Thomas Fleming's book, The Normality of Everyday Life, claims that the theory of rights is a superstition. Fleming says, "Ask where rights come from, they will either refer to a mystical story such as the wondrous tale of the social contract, or following Calvin, they will dismiss all criticism by saying that everybody knows what rights are." He says that if there is a convincing proof of the existence origin of rights that he had never heard of it, that rights one must conclude are to be taken on faith, and only by those who profess to have no religion. The book says that there are two American spokesmen for rights: Thomas Paine versus Thomas Jefferson. The educated Jefferson traced the theory of natural rights through the struggle between a king and a parliament, and to the Magna Carta, and ultimately to the Anglo-Saxons who lived in freedom before the Norman Conquest.  Whereas with the uneducated Thomas Paine, thought that we were free and invented imaginary societies ...

What Church History REVEALS About Leo’s Pontificate: Burke, Miriam & Schneider’s Analysis ... W e thank Dr. Ed Mazza and LifeSite News' John Henry Westen for giving The Catholic Monitor permission to post a series of probably four or five transcriptions of this important show. This is part one of the series: John-Henry Westen: Well, as you can see, the crisis in the Church has reached a tipping point, I guess. This morning we had news from Bishop Paprocki that the SSPX, well, they're just now Protestants anyway. But I don't want to talk about Bishop Paprocki today. I want to talk about three people in the Church that I know and love, that at least at some point I was able to call friends.
