Reading notes

Catholic Social Teaching, among its many other core holdings, says that for Catholics, bringing your life into the public square and advocating for the poor and downtrodden is not an optional thing; it is a mandate. This flows from the more theological realization that in a Catholic framework, salvation depends on what you do for others—we are all responsible for all of us, and we are all dependent on how we take care of all of us.

Matt’s banner identifies his site as “Paul Wellstone progressivism for conservatives and people of faith (and for dispirited liberals, too!)” Dispirited liberal, that’s me kinda often. Thanks, Matt.
