Steven P. Millies - Merton with Miłosz and Pasternak: Artistic Avenues of Faithful Resistance in Authoritarian Times

The consistent ethic of life is a fully Catholic engagement with the difficult challenges that conscience encounters in our time. Now in this challenging, divided moment is the right time to re-discover the consistent ethic and adopt an attitude that calls us to partisans for life beyond our partisanship.

Steven P. Millies is professor of public theology and director of The Bernardin Center at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. His most recent books include A Consistent Ethic of Life: Navigating Catholic Engagement with U.S. Politics and Good Intentions: A History of Catholic Voters’ Road from Roe to Trump (Liturgical Press, 2018).
