VATICAN II TALKS - No. 2

GAUDIUM ET SPES AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

The second talk in the Vatican II Talk Series in honor of the 50th Anniversay of the Council, co-hosted by the Community of Saint Paul and Sacred Heart Parish in Racine took place on Friday, May 17.  The talk titled "Gaudium et Spes and Social Justice" was given by Fr. Bryan Massingale, professor of Moral Theology at Marquette University in Milwaukee.  

In the presentation, Fr. Massingale went into depth in the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the World, and gave proposals with regard to a fruitful relationship between the Church and civil society. 

About 100 people attended the talk, which ended with an animated debate between the audience and Fr. Massingale as to how to mold the live of the Church as proposed in Gaudium et Spes.
