LGBTQ Discrimination and Religious Liberty Seminar

In this seminar, taking place July-December 2021, we examine religious freedom and LGBT discrimination in Catholic Social Teaching, USCCB legal briefings, and American law. In the background of these issues is the fashioning of a conception of freedom by both the U.S. bishops and the American legal system. We read texts from the Catholic Social Tradition beginning with Aquinas, U.S. Supreme Court decisions from 1925 to today, and USCCB legal briefs. We explore these texts both analytically and critically, largely through seminar discussions. Lecture recordings from the seminar meetings will be available through this subscription. Texts are sold separately. More information about the seminar can be found here: https://chrisdamian.net/2021/04/14/lgbtq-discrimination-and-religious-freedom-seminar-sign-up-now/
