Komu potrzebne jest nauczanie społeczne Kościoła?

Abstract

Today the Church is often accused of interfering in social issues as if public life were reserved only for a rational approach devoid of any references to religious values. The Church responds to this accusation by claiming the human person as a whole – with his body and spirit – requires care and revival. Therefore, the Church cannot remain silent about social issues, all the more so as today’s society is in a state of unique susceptibility, confusion and anxiety resulting from the loss of the meaning of life. Its social doctrine, which stresses the need for personal and social fulfillment at the same time, may provide a remedy to the ailments of modern social life.
