Eucharistic Imagination and Social Transformation Deus Caritas Est (Pope Benedict XVI, 2005) Three-fold responsibility of the Church: Proclaiming the word of God, Celebrating the sacraments, Charity Caritas in Veritate (Pope Benedict XVI, 2009) Two paths of charity: individual action and associative work

  10. Haitians’ Associative Institutions in the U.S., France and Quebec

  11. A Sociological, Theological, and Eucharistic Imagination • What can theology learn from sociology? • Need to pay attention to histories of religion-state relations to understand how the church carries out its moral and social teachings • Need to speak out for religious freedom, not just freedom of conscience but freedom to create associations and advocate for the public good

  12. A Sociological, Theological, and Eucharistic Imagination • What can sociology learn from theology? • Need to put “deep relationality” at the heart of human motivation. Human persons desire other human connections as least as fundamentally as they desire material things. • Eucharistic communities are communities of gratitude; community life is an end in and of itself, not only a means to material or individualistic ends.
