Two days after the election, this Dialogue explored the outcomes, impact, and broader implications for our nation. What will this election mean for the pursuit of the common good? What will be the priorities of the new administration and Congress? Where do the priorities of Pope Francis fit? How can Catholic social teaching help bring together our nation after this polarizing campaign?
The panel convened some of the nation’s top political commentators to discuss. John Carr, the director of the Initiative, moderated the discussion. Mo Elleithee, the founding executive director of the Institute of Politics and Public Service, opened the Dialogue.
This event was co-sponsored by the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life and the Institute of Politics and Public Service at Georgetown University.
