Publisher's Synopsis
McKenna writes with the sensitivity of a pastor, the clarity of an expert teacher and the compassion of one who deeply loves Christ in his neighbour. Building on core themes of human dignity, community, rights and responsibilities, option for the poor, dignity of work, solidarity and care of creation, he distills a vast amount of Catholic teaching into easily digestible summaries, each carefully referenced to its primary source and correlated to pressing issues making today's headlines- religious freedom, rights to privacy and self?determination and the value of the common good. This newly updated practical book includes pertinent material of the past decade from papal documents and the US Catholic Bishops, links to online support materials, an expanded glossary, and new questions for self?study or group conversation.
