Fall Speaker Series - December 11 |
Anthony Annett will invite his listeners to go through the ten principles of Catholic Social Teaching outlined in his book “Cathonomics” and show how these are aligned with social democracy. He will then offer some thoughts on what a reinvigorated social democracy might look like. Anthony Annett is the author of "Cathonomics: How Catholic Tradition Can Create A More Just Economy." He spent two decades at the International Monetary Fund, including as speachwriter to te Managing Director. He Holds a B.A. and M. Litt from Trinity College in Dublin and a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University. He is also a member of the College of Fellows of the Dominican School of Philosphy and Theology. Inspired by Pope Francis and motivated by what he believed was a crisis of ethics during the global financial crisis, he dove deeply into the Catholic social tradition and other approaches like the civil economy paradigm. This journey eventually led him to leave the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and into Cathonomics. |

Synodality |
APP is committed to doing all that we can to promote Synodality in Western PA. Synodality is a way of journeying forward, led by the Spirit, in our polarized world for our newly merged parishes, for lay groups associated with religious orders, and other groups wanting to live the Gospel more faithfully. Synodality is an on-going process – of listening to each other and for the Spirit, sharing hopes, experiencing supportive community, and being open and responsive to the pain of the world. Synodality is the way to grow as Church. Visit our Resource page for the Final Synthesis Report, Oct. 28, 2023 & more. |
