A talk by Louise Harrison, "Catholic Social Teaching: still the Church's best-kept secret?"

Our best–kept secret is that the Catholic Church is deeply blessed with more than 100 years' worth of outstanding social justice and peace documents authored by popes, Vatican II, world synods of bishops and national conferences of bishops. But sadly, these documents attract more dust than readers. This talk will outline what we are missing.
