Vox Clamantis: Dominican Voices on Social Justice in the Contemporary World

Vox Clamantis: "I am the voice of one crying out..."

In December of 1511, the Dominican Friar Antonio de Montesinos preached a sermon on the island of Hispaniola decrying the cruel treatment of the natives by the Spanish conquistadors. His words were the prologue to modern Catholic Social Doctrine.

Join the Preaching Friars as we commemorate this 500th anniversary with an in-depth look at the Catholic principles of social justice teaching and their application in the modern world.
