Gateway to Catholic Social Teaching

IT IS CALLED GATEWAY because it is the intellectual entrance way to Catholic Social Doctrine. The Church’s Social Teaching rests upon everything taught in this course, especially the mystery of the human person made to the Image of God, which is the correct starting point for proper study and mastery of the Social Question.

Gateway is really three courses rolled into one: Psychology – A study of the human person, esp the Trinitarian Mystery found in the powers and operations of body and soul that make a human person to the image of God. Ethics – study of the virtues necessary for human growth through actualization of the spiritual powers and operations discovered in Psychology. Politics – study of the common good for human beings living in community including the functions and powers of government; a study of the different types of government and which is best (it can be demonstrated),  and a study of the relationships among: Eternal Law, Divine Law, Natural Law and Human Law from a uniquely Catholic perspective using both Scripture and Philosophy – Faith and Reason.
