One of the most misunderstood — and misrepresented — elements of the Catholic Church is her social teaching. Today’s conversation hopes to fix that. 

On episode #171, I spoke with Dale Ahlquist about Catholic Social Teaching. Here are some key questions and topics from our discussion:

What is the history of Catholic Social Teaching?

What does it look like today?

How does localism play into this?

And much more...

Tune in for an insightful conversation!

He is the author of six books, and has edited fourteen. He is a Senior Fellow of the Chesterton Library at London, and has been called “probably the greatest living authority on the life and work of G.K. Chesterton.”
