Dwelling with Dignity

<p><strong>Discover how Catholic Social Teaching can help us to re-think homelessness and our commitment to justice in the world. </strong></p><p></p><p>Homelessness is on the rise globally. As many governments leave the provision of housing to the markets access to adequate affordable housing is becoming more precarious. Widening inequality fueled by a capitalist and neoliberal ideology is exacerbating the problem. Damaging social narratives deepen the stigma of homelessness while the systemic injustices causing the housing crises are often overlooked. In <em>Dwelling with Dignity</em> moral theologian Suzanne Mulligan examines how Catholic Social Teaching can help us to re-think homelessness and our commitment to justice in the world.</p><p></p><p>With its emphasis on the common good solidarity and integral human development we find in the social doctrine of the church not only a robust analysis of social injustice but also a call to proximity with the sufferer. Rooted in the Gospel it calls us to dismantle the structures that oppress the poor and exclude many from full participation in society. <em>Dwelling with Dignity </em>invites us to construct economies and societies that place the human person at their center and to work toward human flourishing personal and communal healing through accompaniment solidarity and a commitment to justice in the world. </p>
