•••••

We live in a world that has become secularized, defined by dogma and politics. How are we expected to discern what is right and wrong in such a world? How are we expected to tackle today's social challenges as Christians? How do we hear and recognize the voice of Jesus Christ and receive His teachings in the midst of opposing voices?

As Christians, we strive to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, but this is easier said than done. We want to display the Lord’s love and kindness to all men and women, but we’re presented with challenges that require us to determine what that looks like and how it’s virtuously communicated. We want to do what is right and good, but trying to determine right and wrong can at times be confusing and unsettling.

The Church's teaching authority is here to assist you. Our shepherds are appointed by Jesus Christ to discern, interpret, and apply His teachings to our daily lives.

Fr. Jeffrey Kirby's Sanctify Them in Truth: How the Church's Social Doctrine Addresses the Issues of Our Time The Church's Social Doctrine is an engaging, easy-to-read primer on eight of our most serious social issues. The book dissects often contested themes using divine wisdom and Church counsel, providing useful teaching so that the reader can navigate today's difficult world with conviction and a clear conscience.

The book answers:

Why is abortion above all other social issues in importance?
Can immigration be both moral and limited?
What is the Christian responsibility to the environment?
How are we called to approach the LGBTQ+ movement?
Is healthcare a human right?
When can artificial nutrition and hydration be suspended for a dying relative?
Is the Critical Race Theory within the bounds of justice?
Why can’t women be ordained priests?

In all these matters, the truth of Christ is the foundation for any response. Fr. Kirby’s pastoral guidance helps to build that foundation in our intellects and in our wills, so that we can serve as a beacon for truth in a world that despises it.
