Introduction to Catholic Social Teaching | Fr. Gregory Pine & Fr. Patrick Briscoe

Introduction to Catholic Social Teaching | Fr. Gregory Pine & Fr. Patrick Briscoe Romp through history with Fr. Gregory and Fr. Patrick. Why an episode on Catholic social teaching? Is it just silly? Is the Catholic Church political? What role does Pope Leo XIII have in the Catholic social teaching realm? On this week's episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Patrick talk human dignity, the American tradition, Papal encyclicals, the historical context, and much more.
