About this listen
The Church's Best-Kept Secret is a short primer which lays out the basics of Catholic social teaching in a way accessible to the ordinary Catholic as well as to any other person of good will attempting to grasp this often profoundly misunderstood area of Church doctrine and practice.
Writing in everyday language for the non-scholar, award-winning writer Mark Shea concisely describes the roots of Catholic social teaching in Scripture and tradition and gives simple, practical examples of how it works in ordinary life. Sketching the meaning of the dignity of the human person, the common good, subsidiarity, and solidarity, Shea bridges the gulf in our politics and cultural warfare to make the case that Catholic social teaching, properly understood, is common sense, as well as the path to living a happier and more just common life for each human person.
©2020 New City Press (P)2020 New City PressA few stories would have been useful or perhaps just a few things I didn't know about catholic social teaching. I applaud the basic truths brought forth but it was a bit too basic whereas the title suggested I would come away with a real KEY for unlocking catholic social teaching. Like something mind blowing that I had completely missed. Instead, it kind of just reiterated basic stuff that beginners in Catholic theology might already know.
I guess it just took too long to say too little, whereas the church in her catechisms says a huge amount in one or two paragraphs.
