Nuclear Weapons and Our Catholic Response: A Catholic Study Guide for use with Nuclear Tipping Point (2020)
A study guide for use with Nuclear Tipping Point video.
This study guide based on Catholic social teaching is for use with the film, Nuclear Tipping Point. It is designed to assist small groups of adults and mature young people in exploring some issues related to nuclear weapons in the light of their Catholic faith. The small group study can be completed in two one-hour sessions.
Synopsis: Nuclear Tipping Point is a conversation with four men intimately involved in American diplomacy and national security over the last four decades: former Secretaries of State George Shultz and Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of Defense William Perry and former Senator Sam Nunn. The four men share personal experiences that led to their vocal support for a world free of nuclear weapons and the steps needed to get there. Although produced in 2010, its central message remains relevant. The film is introduced by General Colin Powell, narrated by actor Michael Douglas, and includes interviews with former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.
