Read more A Concise Guide to Catholic Social Teaching distills major papal teachings as well as teachings from the episcopal conference of the United States, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (formerly the National Conference of Catholic Bishops), into summary form. This is not an exhaustive summary of Catholic social teaching; rather, it presents several major Church documents that have provided clear guidance in regard to perplexing social issues. Included are several pastoral letters and responses from the US hierarchy often built upon the encyclical teachings, providing concrete domestic applications for the United States. These documents have been summarized and paraphrased with efforts to maintain the strength and vigor of the original, which should always be consulted as the official teaching. It is hoped, however, that the reader nonetheless will obtain a useful sense of these milestone developments in Catholic social thought. Contents Featured in the Book: Life and Dignity of the Human Person Call to Family, Community, and Participation Rights and Responsibilities Option for the Poor and Vulnerable The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers Solidarity Care for God's Creation Read more This Concise Guide Features: Questions for Reflection and Dialogue Concluding each chapter is a series of questions, designed to stimulate appropriate reflection on the theme presented. Appendices There are four appendices included at the back of the book. They include a Homily and Catechetical Message Guide, a Sample Penance Service, Papal Biographies, and a Chart of Historical Milestones. Glossary A glossary highlights terms used int he text that may not be immediately understandable due to their nearly exclusive use within the context of the Church's social teaching. Suggested Reading and Resources This book offers lists of sources cited and suggestions for further reading along with an index for easy reference. Read more The uses of this book are not limited to local church parishes. It can also be used with effectiveness by diocesan social ministry offices, such as Catholic Charities, which implement social action programs on a larger scale. Religious orders, which often designate groups to coordinate the social concerns of their particular community, find the book helpful for their work, both in their efforts to raise consciousness about the concerns of justice within their own communities and also in the wider culture that they serve. This guide is also used as a text in college and high school courses as a rich reference tool. Read more
