Catholic Social Teaching

Catalog description

This course is a study of the ongoing understandings and judgments of the Catholic community in its attempts to bring the Gospel to bear on social, political, and economic realities. The modern teachings (from Rerum Novarum to Centesimus Annus) and the concerns for the dignity of working persons, solidarity with the poor, and social justice are highlighted. This course partially satisfies Marian-specific general education curriculum standards for faith, ethics, and foundations of thought.
