This is such a succinct detailing of the common good. Thank you all so much for starting this substack. One question I have had in thinking about all of this...do common good defenders and integralists have a viewpoint on Distributism? It seems like Integralism is more easily applied in the modern world, but not necessarily at odds with Distributist thinking.

I'm not sure what the historical basis could be for your comment that "However, once such a common culture is weakened or destroyed, the only hope is a renewal and reinvigoration by a responsible governing class." There are plenty of examples of cultural renewal and transformation, including but not limited to religious revival, happening independently of--indeed, sometimes against the wishes of--the governing class.
