The text develops a Thomistic social principle by contrasting the individual and the group, the land and the city, and evaluates the humanizing influence of rural labor versus urban society. It argues that genuine completion comes through shared responsibility and co-operation for the common good, with critique of modern judgments shaped by industrialism.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/blackfriars-april-1943-church-candles/425277/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/blackfriars-april-1943-church-candles/425277.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Hazel","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-23","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What

society,the one and the niany,may be solved by the ap-plication of the thomist social principle of self-sufficiency.We maystate it in terins of the relation between the land and the city.  \nAgainst the many thomist enthusiasts who are also land enithu-siasts it is sometimes pointed out that St.Thomas himself had nolove for agriculture and regarded it as tending towards the work ofthe beast.Troeltsch has written in this respect:'In contrast tothe inclination of modern Catholicism towards the rural populationand its specific Ethos,it is solely the city that St.Thomas takes intoaccount.In his view man is naturally a town dweller,and he re-gards a rural life only as the result of misfortune or of want’(SocialTeaching of the Christian Churches,II,p.318).The rude tiller ofthe soil degenerates through continual contact with the lesser crea-tion,animals and the soil;he is to be pitied much in the same wayas the modern'thomist’often pities the.factory worker.  \nThere is surely some truth in the assertion that those who cul-tivate the land lack the human delicacy of mind and soul that isto be found in the town dweller.The rustic may often be soil-soddenand unresponsive.The land and the things that grow and live onthe land do not necessarily humanise;they do not inevitably of theirnature ted to deepen the understanding and quicken the perceptionof the labourer.Experience often shows the contrary,the slowyokel more at home with his animals than with his fellows.Thereare reasons,good and urgent reasons,why we should now returnto the soil and forsake the town.But it is surely true to say thatthese reasons lie rather in the evil of the town than the good of thesoil.The soil is good and
