Catholic Social Teaching is for All of Life

Senator Marco Rubio’s interest in Catholic social teaching is exciting even if confused in its economic analysis and public policy recommendations. On the Acton Line Podcast released today I discuss with Fr. Robert Sirico the promise and peril of politicians looking to Catholic social teaching for guidance. The promise is in grounding questions of politics in the true nature of the human person and society while the peril is in reducing Catholic social teaching to a mere set of public policy prescriptions.
