For several months now, I have been casting around trying to get a hook into a way to connect economics and faith in a way that goes beyond the usual (but necessary) charitable impulse. It occurs to me that the answer was right under my nose.
Catholic social teaching has more than a century of history. Though neither its origins are motives are pure (it reflects the church's visceral panic over socialism in any form) it nevertheless is probably the richest source there is on faith and social justice. It is, in one sense, a well developed economics of faith.
Over the next few weeks I would like to begin an exploration of CST on this blog. The goal will be less to expound than to ask questions and provide resources. I look forward to the discussion.
