Curran examines and critiques Pope Benedict XVI’s contribution to Catholic social teaching in this Georgetown Digital Short, available exclusively in this concise digital format. In his eight-year pontificate (2005-13) Pope Benedict XVI wrote two encyclicals that are significant for Catholic social teaching: \u003ci\u003eDeus caritas est\u003c\/i\u003e (God Is Love) in 2005, and \u003ci\u003eCaritas in veritate \u003c\/i\u003e(Charity In Truth) in 2009. Curran analyzes and compares the teaching proposed in these two encyclicals, given that these two documents reflect differing approaches. He explores presuppositions found in \u003ci\u003eCaritas in veritate \u003c\/i\u003ewithin the tradition of Catholic social teaching and discusses the theological, ethical, and ecclesial methodologies of the encyclical. Examining the substance and content of \u003ci\u003eCaritas in veritate\u003c\/i\u003e and its relationship to Catholic social teaching, Curran focuses on its approach to the person, political and civil society, and specific issues and topics. This is the first exploration of Pope Benedict XVI’s impact on Catholic social teaching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorgetown Digital Shorts—longer than an article, shorter than a book—deliver timely works of peer-reviewed scholarship in a fast-paced, agile environment.
