SOCIAL DOCTRINE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH COURSE (year 2019)

 

The SDC’s com­pass: from moral aware­ness to social behaviour

 

Rea­sons for the course and its method

The SDC­course of the Cen­tes­imus Annus — Pro Pon­tif­ice Foun­da­tion aims above all to train pub­lic and pri­vate lead­ers, pro­fes­sion­als, aca­d­e­mics, entre­pre­neurs, sci­en­tif­ic and tech­no­log­i­cal oper­a­tors, includ­ing in par­tic­u­lar young peo­ple, in the prin­ci­ples and actions of the SDC. 

The method pro­posed, already exper­i­ment­ed and elab­o­rat­ed in oth­er places, is com­posed of three lev­els of learn­ing: the aca­d­e­m­ic one, made up of con­tents, texts of the mag­is­teri­um, knowl­edge of arti­cles and vol­umes of deep­en­ing and so on; an expe­ri­en­tiallev­el in which every­one can per­son­al­ize the con­tents through lab­o­ra­to­ry work, group shar­ing, short papersto be elab­o­rat­ed at the end of each meet­ing and a final the­sis; a sapi­en­tiallev­el in which, through the most spir­i­tu­al part that nour­ish­es the DCS, every­one can dis­cern and act on the change of their own behav­iour. The aim is to build a think­ing com­mu­ni­ty and a real com­mu­ni­ty expe­ri­ence that can also affect the pub­lic space and in par­tic­u­lar the vital worlds to which the Foun­da­tion addresses.

The three macro themes that have been cho­sen to plan the 7 meet­ings fol­low the 3 prin­ci­ples of the SDC, but a par­tic­u­lar focus will be made on the lat­est texts of the SDC in order to dia­logue with the world on the issues of jus­tice, the envi­ron­ment and the com­mon good.

A fold­er will also be pre­pared with select­ed arti­cles, in par­tic­u­lar from the mag­a­zine La Civiltà Cat­toli­ca,stud­ies that have been approved by the Sec­re­tari­at of State and rep­re­sent a sort of aid to help stu­dents to deep­en their knowl­edge of the social texts of the Church.

From this year, also the Mem­bers of the Foun­da­tion will be direct­ly involved through the “tes­ti­monies” in the worlds in which they are involved, which will help the course par­tic­i­pants to get to know the Foun­da­tion directly.

From next year the course in SDC of the Foun­da­tion, main­tain­ing its auton­o­my and speci­fici­ty, could be sup­port­ed in the seats of the mag­a­zine La Civiltà Cat­toli­caand the Pon­tif­i­cal Gre­go­ri­an Uni­ver­si­ty. In order to pre­pare this step as well, it is nec­es­sary that each mem­ber feels respon­si­ble for mak­ing known, pro­mot­ing and select­ing new stu­dents, ani­mat­ing and sup­port­ing them for the good of all.

The Foun­da­tion will be com­mit­ted to spread­ing and pub­li­ciz­ing the course, but it is the direct loy­al­ty that will allow us to con­sol­i­date in the pro­pos­al we believe in and to grow as a community.

At the end of the course, an essay sum­ma­riz­ing the stu­den­t’s learn­ing and expe­ri­ence will be deliv­ered, as well as a cer­tifi­cate signed by the Pres­i­dent of the Foun­da­tion attest­ing to attendance.
