Introduction to Catholic Social Teaching -Wednesdays for 5 Weeks

Introduction to Catholic Social Teaching 

On Wednesdays, July 27, August 3, 10, 24, and 31 from 6:30 - 8:00 pm at St. Mary Parish Hall, Uxbridge. Presenter: Peter Fritz, Associate Professor, Department of Religious Studies, College of the Holy Cross. Catholic Social Teaching (CST) is the church’s best-kept secret. We are all aware that God loves us and asks us to love our neighbors. But fewer people know that the church gives us principles and guidelines to help us love God and neighbor not just in private, but also in public; not just in our homes and neighborhoods, but also in politics and society. CST is this body of principles and guidelines. In this five-week course we will survey modern CST, how it advocates Christ-centered living, the biblical and traditional roots of CST, and also discuss three of the main principles of CST: solidarity, subsidiarity, and the universal destination of goods. No prior knowledge of CST or theology is needed. Brief weekly readings will be provided.
