"""As the Catholic Church lives out the call to synodality from Pope Francis, many sectors are calling for a new emphasis on Catholic social teaching and moral witness. In Acting for the Common Good, Michael McGrath provides the intellectual underpinnings for that project, offering a view of the church as social witness and active agent for social justice and the common good in society. This book arrives at just the right moment for Catholics in the U.S. and around the world."" -- Richard L. Wood, University of New Mexico ""This book has an insightful theme of social justice based on the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition. Social justice is not a social activity but rather a common good that pivots on the virtue of the rational appetite. For pluralistic societies, Michael J. McGrath's thought provides a challenge to overcome the complexities of tension between minority and majority, where unconditional love is still possible to be shared."" --Stefanus Christian Haryono, Duta Wacana Christian University, Indonesia"
