2013 CATHOLIC SOCIAL TRADITION CONFERENCE

PEACE YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND TOMORROW | Celebrating 50 Years Since Pacem in Terris 

MARCH 21–23, 2013 | University of Notre Dame

The core purpose of the 50th Anniversary of Pacem in Terris conference is to explore thematic peace and justice issues that have been addressed by modern Catholic social thought, especially those within the encyclical such as human rights, political structures, ecumenism and environmentalism.  One of the reasons for bringing in speakers from around the world is because of the international and interfaith approach to peacemaking and promotion of human rights that profoundly affected Catholic teaching and practice.
