Be My Guest: All About Catholic Social Teaching (with Mari Pablo)

Mari Pablo joins Fr. Josh to answer questions about saints who embody Catholic social teaching, how to make people from diverse cultural backgrounds feel welcome in the Church, and how to work with people who believe in some Church teachings, but not others.

Snippet of the Show

Make sure your table isn’t with everybody who thinks exactly the same as you, because if it is, you can unintentionally make barriers where there needs to be bridges.

Questions

Saints Who Embody Catholic Social Teaching

Which saint or holy person is inspiring you these days when it comes to Catholic social teaching?

-Henry

Welcoming Diverse Parishioners

Hey Fr. Josh, What can Catholics do to create spaces of welcome for racial diversity? If I could tell my parish/my youth group/my religion class to do one thing to become more welcoming to Catholics from diverse cultural backgrounds, what should it be?

Supporting Some Church Teachings (But Not Others)

Hey Fr. Josh, So many of my friends who care about social justice also support things completely against the Church’s teachings. Like people who are working to protect the environment, but also want people to stop having kids because they say it’s better for the earth. How do I balance being faithful to Church teaching while also collaborating with my non-Catholic friends who are trying to do good things like reduce pollution or care for the poor?
