March 11, 2021 | The election and inauguration of the second Catholic president of the United States has put faith front and center in a new administration and Congress governing amid a pandemic, a reckoning on racial injustice, an economic crisis, and a deeply divided nation. The Biden administration offers Catholics opportunities to work together toward shared goals on overcoming COVID-19, reducing poverty, supporting immigrants and refugees, and pursuing racial, economic, and environmental justice. There are also fundamental challenges on abortion and some religious liberty questions. Some parts of the Catholic community are divided on how to assess and work with this Catholic president and engage with his administration on policy issues.
This online conversation addressed how young Catholics assess the Biden administration and its priorities, exploring how to best advance principles of Catholic social thought during this challenging time. This gathering included a young public interest attorney and advocate; a Latino Catholic scholar and journalist; a conservative journalist and commentator; a law student who has been a leader at the Jesuit Volunteer Corps and Young Catholics for Biden; a national political strategist at the intersection of faith and public life; and a Catholic grassroots leader and advocate at the U.S.- Mexico border.
