Fr. James Heft, Alton Brooks Professor of Religion and President of the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at USC, made Catholic news by organizing an international symposium at the Vatican for a renowned group of scholars -- including economists, ethicists, business leaders and theologians. The group discussed key themes from Pope Benedict the XVI's first social encyclical, "Caritas in veritate" [Charity in Truth], and how his writings relate to social justice and the current economic crisis in the United States.
