Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching | |||||
| The Church's social teaching is a rich treasure of wisdom about building a just society and living lives of holiness amidst the challenges of modern society. Modern Catholic social teaching has been articulated through a tradition of papal, conciliar, and episcopal documents.The depth and richness of this tradition can be understood best through a direct reading of these documents. These are the key themes that are at the heart of our Catholic social tradition. A short explanation of each can be found here. The USCCB issues updated information about Justice, Peace, and Human Development on a regular basis. Click here to view it. | |||||
