Catholic Social Teaching: Versatile Tools
By Rev Fr David Garcia, O.P.
Starts 19 July
What does it mean when the Church says work has dignity? Why is it a problem when managers micromanage their staff? Why do persons with and without intellectual disabilities have equal dignity? What is the problem with both capitalism and communism? What is our duty to the poor and the environment? Why does the Church prefer democracy? What does the Church have to say about world peace?
Jesus challenges us in the gospel to interpret the signs of the times. Come and turn to the Church’s social teachings so we can obtain the tools to think about the social issues of our time!
This new Catholic Social Teaching course will start on 19 July 2022. It will be held weekly on Tuesdays over Zoom live from 8 to 10 pm for five weeks.

Let us explore these questions and many more!
