The Church in the Modern World Substack is a project of the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty. Acton’s mission is to promote a free and virtuous society, characterized by individual liberty and sustained by religious principles.
The Catholic Church is an important voice of moral authority in the modern world, and many of its anthropological and ethical teachings also find expression in the Acton Institute’s Core Principles. The Acton Institute created this Substack to serve as a basic guide to what happens following a pope’s death, to provide Acton’s perspective on aspects of Pope Francis’s papacy, and to post reflections on how Acton’s core areas of concern—economics, natural law, anthropology, and government—intersect with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
