Introduction to Catholic Social Teaching

This episode introduces Catholic Social Teaching (CST). You might be asking, What in the world is CST? It's a set of millennia-old principles for achieving a just society that many Catholics and non-Catholics alike have never heard of. In fact, many consider it the Catholic Church's "best-kept secret." So I invited Matt Catto, from the Archdiocese of Portland, to educate us on this hidden treasure of wisdom. In this episode, you will learn about... Matt's first encounter with CST; The seven principles of CST;  Why Catholics aren't more aware of CST; Engaging youth through social justice; This episode lays the foundation for the first season of this podcast, which will focus on how catholic social teaching can guide religious allies' response to the current pandemic.
