U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) delivered a policy address on the nation’s values at The Catholic University of America Wednesday, July 23. Titled “Strong Values for a Strong America,” the senator’s speech addressed what he perceived as the breakdown of American families, the erosion of values, and the impact these cultural issues have on economic life. The address was part of the Institute for Policy Research & Catholic Studies (IPR) National Policy Forum.
The event, which took place at 1 p.m. in the Great Room A of the Edward J. Pryzbyla University Center, was co-sponsored by Catholic University’s Institute for Policy Research & Catholic Studies (IPR) and the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Rubio’s address was followed by a panel discussion of analysts and scholars. Moderated by Stephen Schneck, director of IPR, the panel included Russell Moore, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention; Penny Nance, president of Concerned Women for America; Richard V. Reeves, a fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution; Brad Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project; and Sister Ann Patrick Conrad, IPR fellow and associate professor of social work at CUA.
“We are very pleased to be hosting this major policy address on a important topic by Senator Rubio,” said Schneck. “And we’re very pleased that there will be an opportunity following his remarks to examine his policy prescription from a variety of expert perspectives.”
