The Commmon Good, Part II

The "common good" is a fine and noble concept, but as used by those whose idea of "good" is opposed to ours, it is an empty slogan, and of no weight.

Another phrase, not so easily hijacked by the enemy, is needed.

For they are the enemy.

The enemy seems to hijack and distort a lot of terms. We must make sure that the "common good" is really used for good.

I know it sounds corny, but if we used something like "God's will for His people", only better, they couldn't hijack it.
