Catholic Social Teaching 

Spirituality and Faith Formation
Target Audience:  Religious Education Teachers

Overview
Catholic social teaching is an essential element of our faith and is an expression of the Church’s ministry of teaching. It is based on our understanding of human life and human dignity (Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, 2004, Schlag, 2017). It provides us with a vision for a just society in which the dignity of the individual is recognised, and those who are vulnerable are considered and cared for. As Christians we believe every human being is created in the image of God, and so from the moment of conception to death, an individual has a right to life consistent with that dignity.

Aims
With this program participants will:
  • identify the major features of Jesus' vision of the Christian life.
  • identify the major principles of Catholic teaching on social justice.
  • identify and analyse contemporary social justice issues. 
  • analyse the forms, causes and contexts of injustice
  • apply the message of Biblical passages and/or aspects of Catholic Social Teaching to an issue of injustice.

Phil Glendenning was most recently Director of the Edmund Rice Centre (ERC) and President of the Refugee Council of Australia. He was one of the co-founders of Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation (ANTaR) and for ten years was National President... He has served on the Boards of the Australian Council for Social Service (ACOSS), various committees of the Australian Council for Overseas Aid, and the Centre for an Ethical Society.

​In recent years Phil led the Edmund Rice Centre's research team for the Deported To Danger series which monitored the safety of rejected asylum seekers in 22 countries, and resulted in an internationally screened documentary, “A Well Founded Fear”. With a background in education and political science, today he is primarily involved in human rights education, peace and reconciliation work and advocacy on climate change in Australia and internationally.
