30 - The Person and Society: Authority, freedom, subsidiarity

Crash Course Catholicism

What is a society? What's more important: my individual rights or the common good? Do all societies need authority figures?
In this episode, we begin our discussion of the social doctrine of the Catholic Church.
This episode covers Part Three, Section One, Chapter Two, Articles 1 and 2 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (pts 1877-1917).
