This course introduces students to the social teachings of the Catholic Church, a rich body of thought covering love and family, law and justice, war and peace, wealth and poverty, rights and duties, and freedom and obligation. This course shows how through the ages the Magisterium of the Church responds to social developments by interpreting Divine Revelation and teaching the demands of the Gospel with authority. The student will learn how Christ’s divine love for others, especially the poor and most vulnerable, is present today in the Church’s social doctrine and mission.

Topics include:

  • the unity of the whole human race,
  • social teachings in Scripture, distributive, legal, commutative, and social justice,
  • the necessity of the moral law,
  • a sampling of recent pastoral letters,
  • the dignity of human life,
  • and the social dimension of the Commandments.
