An Online Course on the Social Doctrine of the Church Sponsored by the School of Civil Economy
Social Doctrine of the Church, the new challenges of the 21st century
November through April 2025 kicks off season II of the online advanced training course, sponsored by the School of Civil Economy, Federcasse and the Lionello Bonfanti Pole. Professor Luigino Bruni: “A way to reflect on Christianity in post-modernity.”
A course to address the theme of the Social Doctrine of the Church with a more economic, social and civil slant. And with a clear objective: to explain how this great heritage can affect the economy, politics and work. It starts in November, until April 2025, the second season of the online advanced training course “Social Doctrine of the Church: The New Challenges of the 21st Century,” promoted by the School of Civil Economy, Federcasse and the Lionello Bonfanti Pole, with the scientific coordination of professors Luigino Bruni and Stefano Zamagni. Four months of lectures in which many Italian economists and sociologists provide their knowledge to address the topic of Social Christianity from a modern perspective.
The course
“Professor Zamagni and I were the coordinators, but we involved about 20 colleagues all over Italy,” says Professor Luigino Bruni, professor of economics at the Lumsa University in Rome, according to whom it is not just ”an attempt to actualize, but to tell this great story that begins millennia ago and reaches up to today, pointing out the aspects that affect work, the environmental crisis, and wars.” Following last year’s success, in which the course reached about 200 people throughout Italy, the experience has been replicated again this year. The course is open to everyone: religion teachers, professors, workers from various social pastoral work offices, as well as pastors, religious, and students. “The appointment ends in presence at the Lionello Bonfanti Pole, in Tuscany, with a day of study together with some teachers and the presentation of a concluding paper.”
