Mission and Ethics in the Catholic Social Tradition:
Current Challenges in the Age of Trump

The paradox of Catholic Social Teaching and support for authoritarian, fascist leadership by certain members of the Catholic hierarchy and “faithful” is a scandalous feature of the 2024 elections. The discussion will examine some of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching that are in conflict with the ideas and practices of Trumpism. The role of some Catholic bishops and their enablers will be highlighted and critiqued.

Daniel Dwyer has worked in Catholic health care for over 40 years in local, regional, and system level leadership positions. He has served as a mission and ethics leader, educator in ethics and moral theology, medical social worker, and family therapist.

As always, we’ll gather on the first Sunday of the month at the Central Hillside Community Center (12 East 4th Street, Duluth) to hear the presentation, a reflection from one of our members, a question and answer session, and a brunch afterwards. The side door opens at 9:30 and the event begins at 10:00 am, wrapping up by 11:30. Then we’re all invited to the meeting-after-the-meeting at Pizza Lucé.
