Session Three: Act on Behalf of Justice — A Consistent Ethic of Life: Navigating Catholic Engagement with U.S. Politics

Join Steven Millies, Ph.D., director of the Bernardin Center and biographer to the late Cardinal who popularized the term “consistent ethic of life” during a time of polarization for both church and state. Participants will rediscover and dialogue about applications of this moral concept to society and in our ministries today. This short book (102 pages) reads with ease and is a handy resource for all who lead in Catholic ministries.
