Complete History of Catholic Social Doctrine

Most people are aware that there are seven tenets of Catholic Social Teaching. But where do these principles come from? Beside Scripture, they find their root in the social encyclicals and official documents of the Church, dating back to 1871. From Rerum Novarum to Querida Amazonia, the Church has had a lot to say on a number of issues.

Another fantastic video, Father! An interesting fact about Quadragesimo Anno: when the Irish Constitution was drafted in 1937, it was heavily influenced by Catholic social teaching. The effects of this has obviously led to much debate and amendments over the years since, which I won't go into here, but one thing which has been maintained is the makeup of Seanad Éireann (the Irish Senate). 43 of the 60 senators are indirectly elected to represent 5 "Vocational Panels", each representing different professions, namely Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, Labour, Culture and Education, and Administration. This system was directly inspired by the principles set out in Quadragesimo Anno

Thank you once more Father! I was just having this discussion yesterday about these very issues and found it baffling how so many Catholics have missed this or apparently have not read their CCC at all. I dont know if it has to do with me being a convert and not a cradle Catholic or just people are too busy for God these days, but I find many miss the fact that we should find ourselves in the center moderate spectrum (using American politics) and not in the extremes of either camp. So many times I have to remind both sides that no one political party fully embodies the teachings of the Church and that no, the Holy Father is not a socialist and that self reflection and more time in study is required.

I believe the greatest loss of the 20th century on an intellectual level was the loss of the Christian-Socialist socioeconomic programs based on Rerum Novarum.

Pope Leo XIII, pray for us!

[@ipso-kk3ft]

Whenever I chat with people doubting or criticizing Catholic social doctrine (e.g. for being too aligned with movements X, Y or Z), I usually reply that it's more of we're reclaiming social justice and order for God's Kingdom. Not that we're "ripping off" ideologies from questionable movements. Of course there will be some common elements as with most areas of thought. But I'm open to more discussion on this

[@vincenzorutigliano5435]

The problem is that nowadays all socialist movements around the world are aligned with Marxism, an atheist ideology. In the USA Capitalism (Both Democrats and Republicans) is based in Protestant determinism which is also outside the Catholic Doctrine. The Catholic principles were applied in the 19th century by countries like Spain (with the Philippines), Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Other Catholic countries like France and Italy adopted capitalism to boost their industrialization. After WW2 the Soviet Communism (Marxist-Leninism) and Chinese Communism (Maoism) influenced the rest of the world with guerillas and dictatorships in Latin America and Africa which ALWAYS persecuted religion. A catholic cannot vote for any of these movements because they are deeply anti-catholic. But we also should not embrace Capitalism, just try to solve the problems how Mother Theresa and John Paul II did.

Few bodies are incorrupt. There are some which have been preserved by human works and there is nothing wrong with that. It's just mislabeled. We keep relics of saints because remind us of their works where they were alive.

[@adamgrey268]

Hold on just a minute there... I didn't know the Catholic church permitted conversion by coercion. In fact, I am confident it does not. What exactly is a "government regulation", but an arbitrary preference being enforced at the end of a state gun? How can the church uphold property and advocate for the violence against a person for the way in which he uses his property? And when I say violence I do not mean self defense, because regulations are not for the purpose of defense, but are for the purpose of enforcing a preference which is determined by someone who does not have privilege to the property in question. If he did have privilege we would not call it "regulation", but justice. A call for men to treat their workers fairly is far different than a rejection of laissez faire principles. There is nothing intrinsically evil about a system which does not permit the violation of another person's property. It is the baseline standard of human interaction on which superior morality can be built upon. Think of the great atrocities of all time! Did they not come about precisely by the state's use of a man's property against his will? How, indeed, does the state pay for the bombs, but by taxing a business "for the common good". I humbly beg you to pray to God that I may be enlightened if I am wrong. It disturbs me greatly when I see the religious scholars practicing apologetics in favor of modern government power. I have read the catechism, admittedly with some fear that I would find this heartfelt belief of mine to be in conflict with the church. But I was very relieved to find the clause as follows, "Regimes whose nature is contrary to the natural law, to the public order, and to the fundamental rights of persons cannot achieve the common good of the nations on which they have been imposed." If the natural law says that a man is the master of his property to include his body, then any government (every government) which taxes or coerces (regulates under penalty of violence) the use of property outside of self defense falls short in the eyes of the Church.

[@Laurelin70]

Since the scope of a government is to ensure and maintain the community good, it's also it's duty to ensure that everyone is contributing to it. That's not more "violent" than a parent ensuring that his/her children share the family food or help each other. Think of a community like a family, with the government as the parents, and it will be more clear what the social teaching of the Catholic Church is about.

Instead of focusing on old cases, we should focus on guaranteeing that potential victims have a real point of contact and that the guilty also accept their (worldly) punishment before they can really repent. Less than 5 years ago, a young nun reported that she had been raped by a priest in a religious house stationed in Rome. She found no one who believed her and showed her the legal route to prosecution. The mother superior even accused the young nun of seducing the priest. And this "unbelief" that a member of the Church is capable of such repugnant acts led to decades of silence.
