Natural Rights, Natural Law, and the American Founding

Christendom’s Tocqueville Forum hosted a talk by Notre Dame Professor Phillip Muñoz titled “Natural Rights, Natural Law, and the American Founding” on September 29. Muñoz addressed the question of whether traditional religious beliefs are compatible with a political order based on natural rights principles. He defended natural rights as part of the natural law, and that Catholics can be faithful and patriotic citizens.
