Please consider joining me for a full college-level course on Catholic Social Teaching in a little over a week. It is a 3 week long course that goes through a full undergraduate course of Catholic Social Teaching.
Especially given the providence of this class being scheduled as Pope Leo XIV begins his reign as Supreme Pontiff, come join me. The entire course can be done from anywhere in the world, as long as you have an internet connection.
