How U.S. politics distort Catholic social justice

How U.S. politics distort Catholic social justice

On this episode of Just Politics, Sister Eilis McCulloh welcomes Dr. Cathleen Kaveny of Boston College and Cecilia Flores of the Catholic Volunteer Network for a conversation about Catholic social teaching and why it matters in public life. They unpack what the church's social teaching actually is, how it should shape the way Catholics think about politics and policy, and why relationship, human dignity, and the common good should inform civic engagement.

Cathy and Cecilia both make a strong case that Catholic social teaching is not just a set of ideas to know, but a way of seeing and living in the world. They also push back on overly binary political thinking and offer a more relational, both-and framework for faith-informed public action.
