This year’s Tertio Millennio Seminar on the Free Society, scheduled to be held in Cracow, Poland, from June 29 through July 16, has been suspended and will not meet as scheduled. In order to offer applicants, alumni, and friends of the program an opportunity to explore Catholic social doctrine this summer, EPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel, EPPC Fellow Stephen P. White, and other faculty have recorded brief lectures that will introduce viewers to the topics typically covered at the Seminar. These lectures, entitled “A Taste of TMS,” do not aim to replace or substitute for the full experience of TMS, but to provide a small taste of the content offered by our faculty each year.

LESSONS OF THE LATEST ABUSE NUMBERS
By EPPC Fellow Stephen P. White
