Sign up now for our next seminar! In it, we’ll learn about and discuss religious freedom and LGBTQ discrimination in Catholic Social Teaching, USCCB legal briefings, and American law.
About the Seminar
In this seminar we will examine religious freedom and LGBT discrimination in Catholic Social Teaching, USCCB legal briefings, and American law. In the background of these issues is the fashioning of a conception of freedom by both the U.S. bishops and the American legal system. We will read texts from the Catholic Social Tradition beginning with Aquinas, U.S. Supreme Court decisions from 1925 to today, and USCCB legal briefs. We will explore these texts both analytically and critically, largely through seminar discussions.
Fee
$10 per month + costs of the texts (most likely 2 texts for about $30 each)
Tentative Dates
July 2021 – Dec 2021, most likely every other Monday at 7pm for 60-90 minutes.
