How did Catholic thought interact with and influence the political principles of the American Founding? To what extent can the natural law tradition, so central to Catholic teaching, be seen in the Founders’ understanding of liberty, human dignity, and self-government?

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, join The Heritage Foundation to ask Michael Knowles and a panel of distinguished Catholic scholars these key questions. It will be an opportunity to revisit and clarify the principles upon which this nation is built and the relationship between those principles and Catholic thought.
