| | USCCB - Sharing Catholic Social Teaching: Challenges and Directions |
 | | The Catechism of the Catholic Church summarizes the essence of this social teaching and roots it in faith and liturgical life, presenting it as an essential part of the moral teaching of the Church. | | | Catholic schools, religious education, adult education, and faith formation programs are vitally important for sharing the substance and values of Catholic social teaching. | | | Just as the social teaching of the Church is integral to Catholic faith, the social justice dimensions of teaching are integral to Catholic education and catechesis. |

| | Overview of Catholic Social Teaching |
| | Catholic social teaching(CST) is the means the Catholic Church uses to help people see how the Gospel pertains to the world they live in, how faith relates to the world. | | | The Catholic Church, in her social teaching, holds that a true humanism must be open to the transcendent, open to God, open to realities which suppress us. | | | Guidelines for the Study and Teaching of the Church's Social Teaching in the Formation of Priests, June 27, 1989. |

| | Theology Today - Vol 48, No.2 - July 1991 - ARTICLE - A Century of Catholic Social Teaching |
| | Catholic teaching is also described as being prophetic to show that it stands out from and is opposed to the teaching often found in the world. | | | The Catholic approach claims to teach in a binding manner for the whole church, but I think it is fair to say that often the World Council of Churches' documents have been more prophetic and more specific because they do not see themselves as speaking for the whole church. | | | Official Catholic social teaching in the last century well exemplifies the church type, for such teaching is proposed for members of the Catholic Church and for all other people of good will in an attempt to create and work for a more just society. |

| | Commentary: Back to School on Catholic Social Teaching |
| | Catholic schools represent, in many ways, the Catholic Church’s primary exercise of the command of Christ to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded
” (Matthew 28:19-20 NIV). | | | The principle of subsidiarity, which teaches that a community of a higher order should not interfere in the activities of a community of a lower order, depriving the latter of its functions, is a first principle in genuine Catholic social teaching. | | | But, where the authentic social teaching of the Church looks to the community of faith for answers to the disturbing questions of poverty, injustice, and oppression, some advocate a more government-oriented approach. |

| | The teachings of the documents address the challenges to justice presented to people of faith especially in the areas of economic justice, labor relations, global relations and peace and disarmament. | | | The justice tradition of the Church didn't begin with these documents but is rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures and in particular the Gospel message. | | | Among recent contributions by US Bishops to this tradition of justice teachings are the pastoral letter on nuclear arms The Challenge of Peace written in 1983 and the economic pastoral entitled Justice for All published in 1986. |

| | Firstly, this teaching highlights the Church's engagement with the big socio-economic and political issues since 1891 and, it is evident from the time-line, that the papacy of Pope John XXIII and Vatican II gave significant impetus to this dynamic in the life of the Church. | | | This was the first of the great social encyclicals of the Catholic Church. | | | Catholic Social Teaching has been referred to as the Catholic Church's "best kept secret". |

| | Catholic Social Teaching and Economic Law: An Unresolved Tension |
| | One hesitates to describe Catholic social teaching as an abuse of papal and ecclesiastical power, but surely the attempt to impose, as moral doctrine binding the entire Catholic world, principles that derive from the popes’ intrinsically fallible reasoning within a secular discipline like economics, seems dubious. | | | It is not for man to define the purposes of marriage and sexuality according to his arbitrary will, for instance; God punishes men who substitute their whims for the order and purpose he has built into his creation. | | | Such a posture, in addition to the damage it does to the existing stock of wealth and to social comity itself, is thoroughly uncharacteristic of the Catholic Church, an institution that has always emphasized the mind’s ability to perceive (and to rejoice in) the orderliness of God’s creation and to conform itself to it. |
