Main Article Content
Abstract
The Social Teaching of the Church has a long and rich history which started in the middle of the nineteenth century, in a time characterised by the rise of industrial capitalism and the need to address the “social question” in most European societies. Since the very beginning it was understood by many as an attempt to interpret the idea of social justice through the prism of Catholic religion. However, an interpretation of this kind is not a theoretical exercise that can be detached from social reality, but a reflection on social reality that focuses the attention on the worldly life of those who suffer the injustice. In this sense, the doctrinal body of the Church is alive and constantly evolving to adapt the teachings of the Gospel to the “signs of time”.
