Newman Nights: Religious liberty in Catholic teaching

Subtitle: 
May 21,2013

There are three levels of religious liberty in Catholic theology: individual conscience, which is God-given and sacrosanct, freedom for religious communities to practice, which is slightly restircted, and freedom of individuals to operate in society, for which more bounds are operative. Bishop McElroy discusses these levels and their implications, and asks questions such as the degree to which free will is a blessing or a scourge on society.

Lecturer: Bishop Robert W. McElroy, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
