The tradition of modern Catholic social teaching is built upon a theology of the human person that is rooted in biblical, patristic, and medieval beliefs regarding creation, incarnation, Trinity, and ecclesiology. This lecture highlights the theological underpinnings of Catholic social thought for today.
