The Pilgrim Soul

Subsidiarity and Local Living


Listen Later

Sofia and Giuliana discuss subsidiarity, a principle of Catholic Social Teaching. What is subsidiarity and how is it commonly misunderstood? Can Catholic Social Teaching free us from ideology and partisan politics? What invitation does the principle of subsidiarity pose to each one of us? What gifts come from obeying it, both personally and socially? //

Our weekly challenge is to donate to a local organization. And our media recommendation is the book Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry. //
