Earlier this year, Dr. Francis Beckwith was appointed to a select board of scholars to advise the Trump administration on national efforts to protect and advance religious Liberty.
Dr. Beckwith is a professor of philosophy and Church-State studies at Baylor University, and today he joins Mark Brumey to discuss religious liberty and Vatican II. The two examine “Dignitatis Humanae” and whether or not this declaration, this document, was a development or a departure from the Church’s stance on religious liberty. Dr. Beckwith explains the political role that the Church has played in history and its current place in modern politics. Finally, they discuss the challenges religious liberty faces today. This is a must-watch episode, not because of its depth of thought, but also because of its timeliness and relevance.
Dr. Beckwith has also written A Catholic Engagement with Latter-Day Saints. Get your copy here: https://ignatius.com/a-catholic-engagement-with-latter-day-saints-celdsp/?searchid=0&search_query=beckwith
