Catholic Social Teaching

 What is Catholic Social Teaching?

Catholic Social Teaching is founded in Scripture and includes statements and letters written by Church leaders. It offers wisdom and insights on living the Gospel in today’s world. Jesus tells us to love God and to love our neighbours, especially our sisters and brothers living in poverty. 

Catholic Social Teaching is often thought of as having seven major themes;

• The dignity of work and the rights of the worker

• solidarity with all people

• a preferential option for the poor

• stewardship and care for creation

• the call to community and participation

• the sacredness of life and the dignity of the human person

• human rights and the responsibility to protect them
