+ deLubac on Comte's Positivism

 Picked up by PowerLine.

...Because of the sincere altruism which inspired him, Auguste Comte was able to harbour illusions regarding the character of the “harmony” which he wished to established. He was steeped in sheer Utopianism. Nevertheless, he illustrated that too-often-neglected truth that charity without justice inevitably turns into oppression and ruins the human character which it ought to ennoble....

Worth repeating to yourself as you raise your children.  

It may be too late to impress onto the "justice" system, however.
