Pax Romana Center for Catholic Social-Ecological Teaching
The Pax Romana Center develops educational resources about Catholic Social-Ecological Teaching in the new global era for spiritually and intellectually oriented lay Catholic-Christian women and men working in secular society and concerned on a global scale with ecology, human life, justice, and peace. It serves university students, professionals, and intellectuals who are members of the global Pax Romana movement, as well as the wider community.
In the Catholic intellectual tradition, faith and reason -- like religion and science -- are seen as complementary. Thus, the Center provides resources for both the biblical- theological dimension and the philosophical-historical dimension of Catholic Social-Ecological Teaching. The biblical-theological dimension, which is based on faith and revelation, teaches us that following Jesus requires a spiritual-intellectual commitment to social and ecological justice. The philosophical-historical dimension, based on reason and science, provides a non-religious public language that is used for ethical discourse in secular professions and institutions.
The Center will soon publish a Pax Romana Study-Guide on the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, with is the official summary by the Catholic Church’s Social Magisterium of Catholic Social-Ecological Teaching. This Study-Guide will be designed to be used by small study circles, in classrooms, and for private study.
The Center sponsors research, publications, and conferences. The Center invites your participation in these projects, and welcomes your financial support for them.
