Populorum Progressio Session 1: The Principles of Catholic Social Teaching (Part 2)

Years of moral, economic, and political instability has left Nigeria in a fragile state of violent chaos. Today, more than 40% of Nigerians live below the poverty line, with many more overwhelmed with feelings of fear and despair. The crisis in Nigeria is a global humanitarian problem that must be addressed through understanding, open dialogue, and policy change. The theological and anthropological riches of the Catholic moral and intellectual tradition provide a path beyond the predominant ideological narratives at work in Nigeria, many of which reflect characteristics of a "culture of death."

Economists, theologians, theorists, and Nigerian policy makers explore how Catholic Social Teaching can play a role in Nigerian development during this three-part summit.

Session 1 provides an overview of the principles of the Catholic Social Teaching, especially that of the person and the common good.
