The Revival of Catholic Anthropology

Episode 12,   Jul 07, 2022, 10:21 AM

In the 12th episode of the Merely Catholic podcast series for The Catholic Herald, Dr Gavin Ashenden talks to the highly distinguished European political scientist Professor John Loughlin, a Fellow at Blackfriars, Oxford, an Emeritus Fellow and former Tutor at St Edmund's College, former Director of the Von Hügel Institute, and a Senior Fellow and Affiliated Lecturer in the Department of Politics and International Studies, both at the University of Cambridge.

Professor Loughlin offers an illuminating vision of hope for humanity through the flourishing of Catholic education and of Catholic universities in particular – a powerful antidote to prevailing false anthropologies and to the misguided contemporary utopian beliefs that mankind can somehow be redeemed by information alone.
