ABOUT THIS EVENT
As Catholics, Jesus challenges us to be aware of what is happening in the world around us, to use Scripture and tradition to make up our minds about what we see, and then to commit to action. Using this methodology of “see-discern-act”, this presentation will: (1) see the problem of polarization in our world and how it is harmful to the people of God; (2) use the Gospels and the principles of Catholic Social Teaching to understand why polarization is contrary to God’s will; and (3) suggest appropriate actions that Catholics can take to “cross over” this divide and work towards hope and love in this world.
SPEAKER PROFILE:
Dr. Peter Baltutis is Associate Professor of History and Religious Studies, and the Catholic Women’s League (CWL) Endowed Chair for Catholic Studies, at St. Mary’s University in Calgary. He earned his doctorate in Theology from Regis St. Michael’s Faculty of Theology in the University of Toronto. An expert in the history of Catholicism, his research focuses on the historical and theological development of the Catholic social tradition in Canada. Outside of the university, he enjoys camping with his family and long-distance running in the Rocky Mountains.
