Pillars of Catholic Social Teaching: A Brief Social Catechism

by Perry J. Roets

Pillars of Catholic Social Teaching is an insightful and comprehensive guideline for Catholic social teaching, exploring its basic tenets, its history, and its potential impact on modern society. Drawing on over 30 years of academic and pastoral experience, Roets argues that the purpose of Catholic social teaching is to revitalize individuals and reconstruct social order. Along these lines, Catholic social teaching can serve as a source of renewal that will ultimately result in a more humane society based on justice, dignity, equality and peace for all.
