A just society can become a reality only when it is based on the respect of the transcendent dignity of the human person. The person represents the ultimate end of society. Hence the social order and its development must invariably work to the benefit of the human person.

The whole of the Church’s social doctrine develops from the principle that affirms the inviolable dignity of the human person.

The right of the Church (to proclaim the Gospel in the context of society) is at the same time a duty, because she cannot forsake this responsibility without denying herself and her fidelity to Christ.

for October 4, 2009
The Church’s social doctrine is an integral part of her evangelising ministry. Nothing that concerns the community of men and women – situations and problems regarding justice, freedom, development, relations between peoples, peace – is foreign to evangelisation.

With her social doctrine not only is the Church not straying from her mission but she is rigorously faithful to it.
No.64 Compendium of Catholic Social Teaching |
for September 20, 2009
With her social teaching the Church seeks to proclaim the Gospel and to make it present in the complex network of social relations. It is not simply a matter of reaching out to men and women in society.…but of enriching and permeating society itself with the Gospel.

for September 13, 2009
The Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church is presented as an instrument for the moral and pastoral discernment of the complex events that mark our time; as a guide to inspire, at the individual and collective levels, attitudes and choices that will permit all people to look to the future with greater trust and hope.
No.10 Compendium of Catholic Social Teaching |
for September 6, 2009
The Christian knows that in the social doctrine of the Church can be found the principles for reflection, the criteria for judgment and the directives for action which are the starting point for the promotion of an integral and solidary humanism. Making this doctrine known constitutes, therefore, a genuine pastoral priority.
