Religion & Law

Yesterday, in my "Catholic Social Thought and the Law" seminar, we talked about a group of readings having to do not so much with the "what does CST tell us about what law and / or policy should be, in a political community likes ours?" question, but with the "how do I go about constructing and living an integrated life as a Catholic lawyer?" question.  And so, we read my colleague Amy Barrett's 2006 Notre Dame graduation speech; Greg Kalscheur's 'Ignatian Spirituality and the Life of the Lawyer", Lisa Schiltz's "Should Bearing a Child Mean Bearing All the Cost?", John Breen's "The Catholic Lawyer and the Meaning of Success", and (I hearby declare an honorary MOJ-er) Tom Shaffer's "Roman Catholic Lawyers in the United States".  Lots of fun.
