Joseph Husslein

Joseph C. Husslein, S.J. (1873-1952) was a key figure in the early twentieth century in the development of American Catholic social thought. Husslein was one of several figures, such as John A. Ryan, trying to apply the Catholic social teaching of Pope Leo XIII’s watershed encyclical ''Rerum novarum'' (1891). In the next decades Husslein would write over 500 articles on Catholic social teaching. The national Jesuit weekly magazine ''America'' published most of these articles. Husslein worked as an editor of the magazine. Provided by Wikipedia
