Religion & Law

MOJ bloggers and readers are, no doubt, familiar with the work of Prof. Russ Hittinger.  I've learned that Russ has recently been named to the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, the aim of which is

to promote the study and the progress of the social sciences, primarily economics, sociology, law and political science. The Academy, through an appropriate dialogue, thus offers the Church the elements which she can use in the development of her social doctrine, and reflects on the application of that doctrine in contemporary society.

Congratulations, Russ!
