Catholic Social Teaching

Catholic Social Teaching
A site that gathers most of the official social teaching documents of the Catholic Church and also a variety of resources related to Catholic Social Teaching. The site is maintained by the Office for Social Justice in St Paul and Minneapolis in the US.

Catholic social teaching has been called “our best kept secret,” “our buried treasure,” and “an essential part of Catholic faith”. Yet, in the words of the U.S. Catholic bishops:

“Far too many Catholics are not familiar with the basic content of Catholic social teaching. More fundamentally, many Catholics do not adequately understand that the social teaching of the Church is an essential part of Catholic faith. This poses a serious challenge for all Catholics, since it weakens our capacity to be a Church that is true to the demands of the Gospel. We need to do more to share the social mission and message of our Church.”
