Building on the themes of previous papal encyclicals, Pope Benedict XVI addresses some of the most pressing issues of our time in his encyclical Caritas in Veritate or Charity in Truth. This encyclical is broad reaching and covers several topics such as the ethics of contemporary economics, poverty and development, global solidarity, rights and duties, charity, justice and the common good, and also the stewardship of the environment. With the focus on Jesus Christ and his example of unconditional love, Pope Benedict invites us to look at global issues through the eyes of charity. This workshop will give you an introduction to this encyclical and will be illustrated through some case studies and personal examples.
