"A refreshingly profound dive into the Christ-centered spirituality of Catholic Social Tradition, anchored in the deep practice of human dignity. Engaging in its raw concreteness, Sedmak's imaginative approach to Catholic Social Tradition provides an indispensable guide for translating, enacting, and applying its Gospel-based principles and therapeutic properties to complex and unsettling realities of our times."

"Pope Francis's pontificate drew new attention to Catholic social tradition, thought, and teaching. In light of the testimony offered by modern-day prophets like Oscar Romero and Dorothy Day, Sedmak's book provides essential and timely clarifications and criteria for the application of CST in the world and in the Church of today, with crucial attention to the pastoral and practical dimensions."--Massimo Faggioli, author, The Liminal Papacy of Pope Francis
