A full \u003cb\u003eCurrent Reality Tree\u003c\/b\u003e exposes the causal chain linking doctrinal confusion to economic stagnation, moral inconsistency, and the erosion of property rights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReinterpreting the \u003cb\u003eTen Commandments\u003c\/b\u003e through a libertarian lens, \u003cb\u003eOra, Labora, et Libera\u003c\/b\u003e shows that natural law is not a call for state intervention but a defence of private property, voluntary exchange, and sound money. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDedicated to a Benedictine community, this work calls the Church back to its own roots - to the monasteries that preserved civilisation through work, order, and private stewardship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOra, Labora, et Libera.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jorge Gonzalez Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798241182289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Jorge Gonzalez Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49171258081535,"sku":"9798241182289","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ora-labora-et-libera-jorge-gonzalez-moore-9798241182289","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
