The Social Mission of the U.S. Catholic Church: A Theological Perspective

Charles E. Curran's audiobook examines the social mission of the U.S. Catholic Church from a theological perspective, highlighting its evolution from focusing on internal charity work to engaging more deeply in civic, social, and political life following the Second Vatican Council. The book explores the roles of bishops, Church institutions, and lay members in supporting these efforts, with particular attention to issues such as abortion, war and peace, and labor. It offers a comprehensive look at what the Church is called to do in the world and how its members can live out this mission in their daily lives.
