TH 335 - Introduction to Catholic Social Teaching

This course examines the historical development and theological foundations of the social teaching of the Catholic Church. It provides a survey of the major Church documents that treat ethical questions pertaining to civil, economic, and political society. It explores the lives of Christian witnesses who exemplify these teachings in action and gives special attention to the Church’s social teaching as it develops in response to such contemporary issues as the environment, post-industrial society, globalization, and the just war theory.

4. Compare and contrast CSTs to some of the prevailing tendencies within our culture

5. Develop and demonstrate the practical applications of CST in our world today
