The project makes a case for the inclusion of Catholic Social Thought (CST) in the introductory economics course. We argue that the contrast between the perspectives of CST and economics, especially with regard to the environment, can deepen students’ understanding of the underlying assumptions of economics and enable students to see the role that economics should play in an interdisciplinary effort to address climate change. The paper provides practical guidance to economics faculty who wish to bring the urgent call of Laudato Si' and Laudate Deum into their classrooms effectively.
