Welcome to the third online seminar on Catholic Social Teaching (CST) hosted by Economy of Francesco Netherlands and the Just Economy Lab. Join experts from the field to learn about a key concept of CST: subsidiarity. The church speaks of this principle as a way to protect people from abuses by higher-level social authority and a response to the need for respect and effective promotion of the human person and the family.

Prof. msgr. Martin Schlag (Houston University) will speak about the origins of subsidiarity in the 1931 encyclical of pope Pius XI, in his lecture ’Subsidiarity: Empowering Persons, Building Communities. Its Foundations in Quadragesimo Anno and Its Relevance Today’

Prof. Boglárka Koller (Institute of World Economics) will help us understand how this principle work in her lecture ’Subsidiarity as a Foundation for Europe’s Future’.

Through their introductory lectures and an open discussion of the material you will learn about CST, in particular how it speaks on the distribution of power in society and what this might mean for Europe.
