Catholic Social Teaching and the New Evangelization w/ Cy Kellett

About this episode

Marc Barnes and Cy Kellett discuss the importance of Catholic Social Teaching in the context of the New Evangelization.

Pope St. John Paul II claimed that "the 'new evangelization', which the modern world urgently needs must include among its essential elements a proclamation of the Church's social doctrine" (Centesimus Annus 5). In this podcast, Marc Barnes and Cy Kellett, host of Catholic Answers Live, discuss how proclaiming the social doctrine of the Church can lead people to Christ. We’re offering a Catholic Social Teaching masterclass June 22-25 in order to study and illuminate the Church's social doctrine: those grace-filled principles by which you fulfill your Christian vocation to transform the world into the kingdom of God. Come to Steubenville, Ohio for a week with leading teachers, philosophers, and theologians dedicated to sharing the Church's vision of a Christian social order and kindling our desire to be fruitful laborers in the vineyard of the Lord.
