Australian Catholic University (ACU National) is hosting a conference to celebrate and explore the 3rd Encyclical of Pope Benedict XVI entitled Caritas in Veritate.

Caritas in Veritate, or Charity in Truth, discusses the application of the Church's social teaching on globalisation and international development. 

The Conference will enable Australian scholars from the academic fields of economics, politics, theology and philosophy to engage with those working in the area of social justice.
 
As part of the Conference, two public sessions will take place that will allow for members of the public to learn more about and discuss the content of the document.

The first public session will be a panel discussion highlighting the significance of the papal document. The second will be a lecture by Cardinal Paul Josef Cordes, President of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum.

The two-day closed conference will involve representatives from Caritas Australia, John Paul II Institute, Yarra Theological Union and Catholic Theological College, Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture and ACU National.

All are welcome to attend.
