Saints and Social Justice: A Guide to Changing the World

Description

Catholic social teaching has explosive power for changing not just individuals, but whole societies. And it's the saints who light the fuse. - Brandon Vogt

The value of human life. The call to family and community. Serving the poor. The rights of workers. Care for creation.

The church has always taught certain undeniable truths that can and should affect our society. But over the years, these teachings have been distorted, misunderstood, and forgotten.

With the help of fourteen saints, it's time we reclaim Catholic social teaching and rediscover it through the lives of those who best lived it out. Follow in the saints' footsteps, learn from their example, and become the spark of authentic social justice that sets the world on fire.

Learn from heroes like:

Bl. Teresa of Calcutta
St. Peter Claver
St. Frances of Rome
St. Roque Gonzalez
Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati
St. Damien of Molokai
St. John Paul II

About the Author

Brandon Vogt is a bestselling and award-winning author, blogger, and speaker who serves as content director for Bishop Robert Barron's Word on Fire Catholic Ministries. Vogt was one of the millennial "nones" when it came to religion until, as a mechanical engineering student at Florida State University, he began a passionate search for truth. That search led him unexpectedly to the Catholic Church in 2008. In 2013, he started StrangeNotions.com, the largest site of dialogue between Catholics and atheists. Vogt was named one of the "Top 30 Catholics under 30" by FOCUS as well as one of the "Top 30 Catholics to Follow on Twitter." He is the author of seven books, including RETURN: How to Draw Your Child Back to the Church and The Church and New Media. His work has been featured by media outlets including NPR, Fox News, CBS, EWTN, Vatican Radio, Our Sunday Visitor, National Review, and Christianity Today.
