Compendium of Catholic Social Doctrine

This compendium presents the social doctrine of the Church, rooted in God's plan of love for humanity and fulfilled in Jesus Christ. It emphasizes the dignity of the human person, created in God's image and oriented towards communion with the Trinity, and outlines various aspects of social life influenced by this perspective, such as the rights of workers, the importance of solidarity, and the proper understanding of wealth as something to be shared.

Key principles like the universal destination of goods, subsidiarity, and solidarity are explored as foundations for a just society, alongside the significance of human rights and the role of family and the political community. The text also addresses critical contemporary issues like the environment and the pursuit of peace, condemning war and terrorism while highlighting the need for international cooperation and responsible action from both individuals and institutions, including businesses.
