SUMMARY:Counsels of Imperfection: Thinking Through Catholic Social Teaching
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nCounsels of Imperfection: Thinking Through Catholic Social Teaching by Edward Hadas\nFor more than a century\, the teaching authority of the Catholic Church has attempted to walk along with the modern world\, criticizing what is bad and praising what is good. Counsels of Imperfection described the current state of that fairly bumpy journey. \nThe book starts with an introduction to ever-changing modernity and the unchanging Christian understanding of human nature and society. Then it moves to areas of concern for the Social Teaching: a) economic issues\, including a careful delineation of the Catholic response\, past and present\, to socialism and capitalism; b) government\, including Church and State\, war and peace\, and quick takes on democracy\, human rights\, the welfare state\, crimes and punishments (including the death penalty)\, anti-Semitism\, and migration; c) ecology\, including a discussion of the human role in creation and an enthusiastic analysis of Francis’s “technocratic paradigm”; d) family teaching\, which presents the social aspects of the Church’s sexual teaching; and e) a historical overview and the ambiguous Catholic appreciation of the modern idea of progress. \nFor each topic\, Counsels of Imperfection provides biblical\, historical and a broad philosophical background. Thomas Aquinas appears often\, but so does G. W. F Hegel. The goal is not only to explain what the Church really says\, but also how it got to its current position and who it is arguing with. In the spirit of a doctrine that is always in development\, Counsels of Imperfection points out both strong-points and imperfections in the teaching. \nThe book’s author\, Edward Hadas is a Research Fellow at Blackfriars Hall\, Oxford. His book Counsels of Imperfections: Thinking Through Catholic Social Teaching will be published in the autumn by Catholic University of America Press. He is also a financial journalist who writes regularly for Reuters Breakingviews. \nThe online event is free and open to all. Registration is required. \nContact:\nLas Casas Institute\nlascasas@bfriars.ox.ac.uk \n [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
