Title: Liars Lying About Lies
Review: We find in this book the important -sounding observation that lying is a "present violation of the nature of speech." This nugget from a book that defends a vast tradition that invented casuistry itself. That is rich. This is a prima facie embarrassment. But it appears recently that Catholics have become worried about their very famous proximity to diplomatic fudging of all sorts. Thus Robert George has recently come out against "Lying" as if it is a big moral deduction. All the organizations he has been involved with are founded on casuistry. Thus it is the purest falderal for him to present himself as an arbiter of proper decorum on the issue, not to even speak of morality. Those connected with him in his efforts are guilty of exactly these kind of falsehoods. Of course they think they have the higher ground, but their tactics prove otherwise. Methinks the woman protests too much.
