The Five Pillars of Catholic Social Doctrine

How are we to be? How should we act? What does it mean to be Catholic in society? Upon what do we base our morals, our values? In this podcast we illustrate the answers to these questions in the context of a loose discussion of the five foundations to Catholic Social Doctrine as applied to Charlie Gard.

These core concepts are:

* Human Dignity

* The Common Good

* Solidarity

* Subsidiarity

* Participation

Understanding and applying these concepts in a coherent and consistent manner allows one to think through and resolve so-called ethical dilemmas.

We also talk about some cigars and whiskey.
