111 - What are Human Rights?
Crash Course Catholicism
What are Human Rights? How are they different from other kinds of rights? Are Human Rights inherent, or are they a social construct? In this episode, we continue our exploration of Catholic Social Doctrine by considering the nature of Human Rights. This podcast relies 100% on the generosity of listeners.

About Podcast
Crash Course Catholicism breaks down the beliefs, traditions, and teachings of the Catholic Church in a way that's thoughtful, accessible, and engaging. The first 50 episodes of this podcast are a summary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, while later episodes include deep dives into big questions about God, Scripture, Church history, the saints, morality, and the spiritual life. Our aim is to help you build a stronger understanding of the faith without requiring a theology degree.
