“At a time of polarization in the United States and divisions in the Church, Catholic Social Thought offers affirmative ways to work together to defend human life and dignity, pursue justice and peace, and advance the common good in our country.
Four respected leaders explored how the moral principles of Catholic Social Thought help overcome polarization and addressed key challenges in a divided and sometimes demoralized society. The diverse panel included Helen Alvaré, a law professor and Vatican advisor; Cardinal Blase Cupich, archbishop of Chicago; Archbishop José Gómez, vice president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops; and Sister Teresa Maya, president of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious.
This Public Dialogue was part of a Convening of over 75 diverse Catholic leaders that came to Georgetown for three days of dialogue, prayer, and reflection on “Overcoming Polarization Through Catholic Social Thought.”
