On Popes Leo XIII and XIV: From Constitutional Forms to Social Justice
Join First Things, St. Patrick’s Seminary and the Institute for Philosophy, Technology, and Politics for a lecture by Dr. Russell Hittinger on Pope Leo XIII and Pope Leo XIV’s impact on law and social justice.
The lecture will explore whether modern Catholic Social Teaching has robust guiding principles regarding governing order and the status of the nation and will consider reflections on modern republics latent in the thought of Leo XIII but not yet fully developed in the subsequent tradition.
Dr. Russell Hittinger is a distinguished scholar of Catholic social and political thought. He has served as Warren Chair of Catholic Studies at the University of Tulsa, Director of the Institute for
Human Ecology at Catholic University of America, and on the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences.
