ENDS AND MEANS - FR. TOM WILSON
The human condition, probably from the very beginning, has had conversations about
goals and means to obtain them. We decide what we would like to see happen and
then establish a strategy for getting to the objective. Depending on who you ask and
depending on the goal, people will give different answers to questions about what
means are permissible to get to a desired end. We examine the proportional importance of the objective in light of the process to get there and make a determination
whether we believe it will work and if it is worth it.

This is a real example, but the moral case is very easy because both the ends and the
means are reprehensible. It gets much more complicated when the ends appear to be
so good and the path to get there so overwhelming that people consider doing whatever it takes to achieve the end. That’s the place many people involved in public policy
discussions and decisions find themselves. It was revealed last week that a key person
involved in constructing the law and advocating for health insurance overhaul in 2010
publicly announced in multiple places that lack of transparency was necessary to get
it passed, that the law was deliberately written to obfuscate its real costs, and that
people were told that certain things would not change that the advocates knew would.
It was a clear example of the end justifying the means. The advocates deemed insurance regulation changes to be so important and the noble goal of reducing or eliminating uninsured people so necessary that it was okay to shield the truth about the law
from the people and likely Congress for the noble end of getting it passed.
We are now on a similar collision course of ends and means in public policy discussion about immigration in our country. Very few would argue that change doesn’t
need to happen to make a broken system work better and treat people with appropriate dignity. The way it happens, however, is the boiling point. As the executive
branch prepares to change the laws unilaterally if Congress does not, we are faced
with a national ends and means question. Is it worth getting better policies in place at
the risk of challenging the Constitution’s separation of powers? The policy needs to
be debated and altered, but how it is done could have significant ramifications of how
we are governed in the future and everyone involved needs to measure not just the
immediate consequences but the long term ones as well.
The relatively little public reporting or discussion on these matters suggest that for
many in the media this is just the way it’s done and that it is no big deal. Whatever it
takes to get the policy in place is what will be done. But as Catholics, and I would
argue as Americans, how it happens is just as important as what happens. It is a bedrock moral principle that one can never use an evil means to a good end. It is a good
principle. We can see in the growing lack of trust in government and other institutions
that people are upset about the means that are used in systems. It’s up to us to be
voices in the process that no matter what happens, the ends do not justify the means.
Challenging a system in which the ends justify the means is de facto accepted can be
a unifying and rallying point for people of goodwill who disagree on the ends, but
should agree on the means.

For this, we give thanks.
You give us families that meet at this time
