What is a Catholic vision of social justice, and is there an essential connection between the Christian faith and an existential commitment to the common good, solidarity, and a preferential option for our poorest sisters and brothers? This course explores the developing tradition of Catholic social thought, probing its foundations and questioning its implications for the Christian faith in both its theoretical and lived forms. As we will see, Catholic social teaching is more than just a set of “issue stances” and theological arguments; instead, it is a dynamic component of the Catholic Church that seeks to create a theologically informed understanding of critical issues while nurturing an understanding of the individual and community the leads to the creation of a more just world.
