The Judas (St. Matthias) lesson looks at corruption from a religious and economic perspective. The power yielded by insights from Church teaching (on flawed human nature, personal concupiscence, and the reality of social sin) combined with the analytical tools of Douglass C. North’s new institutional economics, may capture student attention. The main activity in the corruption lesson asks students to consider cheating in school settings. Why is cheating wrong?

It is uncertain, however, how many theology teachers in Catholic secondary schools have taken economics courses or otherwise prepared themselves to make use of economics in teaching theology. Similarly, it is not clear to what extent social studies teachers integrate Catholic social teaching in covering economic content. Both percentages, we may infer, are on the low side. And here is where Apostles & Markets can be helpful.

Catholic social teaching might be likened to our personal and societal MPS, or "moral positioning system." Fathers of the Church from St. Augustine to St. Aquinas reflected long and hard about what justice means in the social context. Popes, saints, bishops, theologians, and councils have also illuminated this aspect of the Church’s expertise. Educators and their students today have access to this moral positioning system.
