“The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the Church’s social teaching. In this course, students are to learn how Christ’s concern for others, especially the poor and needy, is present today in the Church’s social teaching and mission.” – USCCB’s Doctrinal Elements of a Curriculum Framework

This course will strive to engage and frame the student’s learning experience with philosophy, science and theology to define the human person and what is proper for the treatment of human beings (social teaching). Students will explore social, political, and economic realities and learn to permeate and reconcile those realities with the demands of Christian doctrine and life, according to the just principles of natural law and the Gospel. A special focus on Bioethics will help students better understand how Catholic Social Teaching Principles can guide us in navigating through the rapidly changing technological landscape in medicine and science today.

It also tends to produce great material for college applications, scholarship essays, and resumes.
