Explore the relationships between democracy, capitalism and Catholicism
In a world marked by constant cultural, political, and economic shifts, understanding the deeper connections between democracy, capitalism, and faith is more crucial than ever. The clash of ideas and values we see today raises profound questions about human dignity, freedom, and the moral framework that shapes our societies. And for Catholics, it invites a closer look at how our beliefs can harmonize with the principles of democratic freedom and economic opportunity.
That’s why we’re introducing a new lecture series, The Political Thought of Michael Novak inspired by the influential work of Michael Novak — a leading thinker on the relationship between Catholicism, democratic ideals, and economic systems.
In this new series, you’ll be guided by the expertise of world-renowned Catholic thinkers. Gain insights about how these three pillars — democracy, capitalism, and Catholicism — can work together to build a more just and compassionate world in this free lecture series.
