Newly-elected American Pope Leo XIV is an American member of the international Augustinian religious order. Who was St. Augustine? How did he–and how do those still influenced by his thought–understand the role and power of the State? Join us for an exploration of St. Augustine of Hippo and his far-reaching impact on Western social and political thought. Text available free of charge.
