Segment 3 & 4 – Catholic Heroes of Civil and Human Rights: 1800s to Present
“This inspiring work profiles sixteen Catholic men and women–lay and religious, canonized saints and ordinary car mechanics—who defied all odds to advance civil and human rights since the turn of the eighteenth century. … Supported by official Church documents, each chapter is themed on one of the pillars of the natural law foundations of human rights—freedom, perseverance, hope, justice, and conscience. These short, readable, yet insightful biographies of figures who exemplify each pillar demonstrate how the teachings of Christ, through his Church, can drive ordinary believers to an extraordinary deeds.”
