Video: The Church’s Social Teachings and Socialism – Raymond de Souza, KM

We are pleased to share the video of our most recent webinar, The Church’s Social Teaching and Socialism, presented by Brother Raymond de Souza, KM. 

The talk reviews several social encyclicals starting from Bl. Pius IX through Pope Benedict XVI, outlines the social teachings and explains why the Church condemns socialism. We are grateful for Raymond’s time and research on this important matter. Please share this talk with others.
