Please join us at The Open Door!

We discuss solidarity, subsidiarity, economic democracy, and nonviolence in light of Catholic Social Teaching. We explore how to move from discussion to political change. Culture and politics, to be sure, are interwoven. So we care deeply about education and the arts. Our questions often lead us to report on the projects and promise of the American Solidarity Party.

Dr. James Hanink, a philosophy professor who taught at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA, is the lead anchor for The Open Door.

 Dr. Mario Ramos-Reyes, Professor of Philosophy and Latin America History and Founder of the Institute for the Study of Personalist Republicanism, is a co-host of The Open Door.

Valerie Niemeyer, a homeschooling mother of six interested in the application of Catholic Social Teaching to our citizenship and the realm of politics, is a co-host of The Open Door.
