WGR10741 - Catholics and the American Dream, Part 2
10/21/2014
Host: Johnnette Benkovic Guest: Samuel Gregg
Central to an understanding of Catholic social teaching is the value, worth, and dignity of the human person. The opening words of the Declaration of Independence resonate with this same understanding of man.
The human person, created by God, is endowed with certain inalienable rights among which are the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Today, our guest will explore with us the relationship between this Catholic understanding of the human person, its resonance with our Founding Father’s vision of the American Experiment and what this means in the practical realities of government and its systems.
