This book review discusses "Towards a Politics of Communion: Catholic Social Teaching in Dark Times" by Anna Rowlands. The reviewer highlights that the book provides a unique and thoughtful account of Catholic Social Teaching (CST) in an era of crisis. Rowlands acknowledges that the book does not aim to offer a definitive account of CST but rather serves as an introduction to selected parts of the tradition. The reviewer found the book dense but rewarding, and believes it will be useful for considering the value of CST in ecumenical work. The book explores topics such as human dignity, migration, social and structural sin, the common good, subsidiarity, and solidarity. It also examines the political responsibilities and understandings of Catholicism, and the concept of solidarity. The reviewer suggests that the book provides important insights for those interested in CST. [Extracted from the article]
