“Catholics in the Public Square: The Landscape Since Vatican II” 
Featuring Father Thomas Massaro, SJ
Milwaukee Athletic Club, 758 N. Broadway (Ballroom – 4th floor)
During this 50th anniversary year of the opening of Vatican II, Father Thomas Massaro, SJ, will review the important contributions of Catholics to economic, civic and cultural life in the United States, as well as reflect on the ethical dimensions of the economy.
Father Massaro is a Jesuit priest of the New England Province who taught for 11 years at Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge, Mass., before joining the theology department at Boston College in 2008. His work in Christian social ethics draws upon wide-ranging studies in political science, economics, philosophy and theology. Among the topics his books, articles and lectures have addressed in recent years are welfare reform, globalization, peacemaking, environmental concerns, and the ethics of voting and patriotism. Besides writing and teaching courses on Catholic social teaching, religion in public life and ethical dimensions of the economy, Father Massaro is committed to hands-on social activism. He recently completed a term on the Peace Commission of the City of Cambridge and is a founding member of the steering committee of Catholic Scholars for Worker Justice.
Father Massaro’s teaching interests include Catholic social ethics, theories of economic justice, sociology of religion and the history of Christian political thought. His research focuses on how Catholic social teaching can contribute to a constructive consensus on responsible public policies.
