Because of STEP's success the MA
Program in Theology at Notre Dame has asked STEP to
assist them in developing and delivering graduate level
theology courses online. So far STEP has assisted the MA
Program in offering twelve courses. The spring 2010 course
is listed below. In order to register for this course, students
must first enroll in the University of Notre Dame Graduate

The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with the tradition of Catholic social teaching with a view to developing skills for critical reading and appropriation of these documents. We will examine papal, conciliar, and episcopal texts from Rerum Novarum (1891) up to the present time, identifying operative principles, tracing central theological, ethical, and ecclesial concerns, and locating each document in its proper historical context.
