Equal Dignity and Agency
Greater inclusion of women is a priority of Pope Francis’s pontificate. He has taken practical steps in appointing women within the Vatican and called for a “deeper theology of women.” Within Catholic social teaching, however, the voices and lives of women remain largely absent. Centring the complex stories from women’s lives gathered through fieldwork, this article argues that women must be embraced as “dignified agents” and not simply as the “d…
A Christian and African Ethic of Women’s Political Participation
Fratelli tutti
This article explores the teaching of Fratelli tutti as an integrating document of the papacy of Francis. Exploring the title as greeting and imperative, the authors make a case for exploring FT as both a development of the themes of earlier social encyclicals and as an attempt to explore an integral humanism for a new age facing economic, environmental, migratory, and social-conflictual challenges. The article lays out a summary of these main th…
Pope Francis and the Christological Dimensions of Solidarity in Catholic Social Teaching
Solidarity is a central aspect of the Catholic social tradition and yet it is difficult to capture in a simple definition. Building upon his predecessor’s examination of solidarity, Pope Francis develops solidarity’s christological character, a previously underdeveloped aspect of Catholic social teaching. Francis’s use of place and proclamation in public ministry calls for an ethic of inclusion and encounter. Francis turns to the Incarnation as i…
Scandal
Millions of viewers tune in to watch ABC's Scandal where political corruption, sexual infidelity, secret lives, and hidden crimes abound. What is it that makes something scandalous? In popular culture, scandal involves something morally or legally wrong coupled with public outrage. In contrast, as a theological category scandal is that which impedes the community's relationship with God. Pope Francis identifies poverty as just such a scandal dama…
Anatomy of a Social Virtue
Humanity is radically and pervasively interdependent. Catholic social teaching uses solidarity as the lens through which to critically examine our interdependence. Solidarity is multifaceted, at once a feeling, an attitude, and a duty, with each of these building to culminate in the virtue. How is solidarity a virtue? What are the habits and practices by which it is cultivated? To whom does it apply? And what, if any, are corresponding vices? Thi…
Albino Barrera, Market Complicity and Christian Ethics
Love of God and Neighbor
The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of charity in the moral life by focusing on the nature of charity and its requirements. What does it mean to say that someone has charity? Through an examination of the virtue of charity: subject, object and order, I will establish the necessary way in which charity functions as love of neighbor, including the love of God through love of neighbor. Focusing then on love of neighbor, I will examine w…
Integrating Human Rights
The author analyzes the tension between civil-political rights and economic-social rights arguing for unity within the human rights canon through participation. Through an examination of John Paul II, Catholic social thought and Amartya Sen, the author argues that human rights are all rights of participation and integral to what it means to be a human person. The author attempts to show that this requires a holistic and unified view of human righ…
