Catholic Social Teaching Principles Podcasts

Catholic social teaching is a rich treasure of wisdom about building a just society and living lives of holiness amidst the challenges of modern society. Modern Catholic social teaching has been articulated through a tradition of papal, conciliar, and episcopal documents, and the depth and richness of this tradition can be understood best through a direct reading of these documents.

In our “CST Principles Podcasts,” Paulist Father Larry Rice reflects briefly on the major themes of Catholic Social teaching and how they should shape our lives as citizens of the world and as people of God.
