This interdisciplinary course explores the intersection of Catholic social teaching (CST) and law. The class will examine contemporary legal and public policy issues through the prism of CST. The first, foundational section of the course covers biblical and philosophical foundations for the Catholic Church’s conceptions of justice and mercy, regulation and freedom, truth and conscience. The class will explore the fundamental principles of CST as well as the Church’s role in proposing moral principles in the public square. The second, longer section of the course involves praxis and application of principles. Students will examine specific issues through the prism of CST. These may include abortion; religious liberty; economic policy and labor rights; immigration policy; health care policy; and environmental policy. Students will explore a topic of their choosing in depth in a longer research paper as part of the course.
