Catholic Social Teaching Series

For the month of August, the Fellowship for Social Justice has decided to create a series of short (3-4 minutes maximum) videos on the Catholic Social Teaching in the hopes of encouraging individuals to learn and understand why the Church is unwavering about caring for everyone worldwide, in particular the marginalized. We are, after all, children of God.

The Church has made many mistakes in the past 2,000 years. However, I am personally proud that the Church has also taken many actions to correct pass mistakes. The Church has also evolved in understanding the need to be more available, more “hands on” with its members. I believe that was at least one of the outcomes for Vatican II.

 

I have repeatedly stated that I grew up in a progressive church (St. James in lower Manhattan) in New York City. When I say progressive, I am NOT talking about a political party. I am referring how the pastor and priests embodied the teachings from Vatican II.

 

In additional, we will be sharing these on social media, including our sites.:

 

 

We look forward to sharing the Catholic Social Teaching with you, the reader.

Catholic social teaching is a central and essential element of our faith. Its roots are in the Hebrew prophets who announced God's special love for the poor and called God's people to a covenant of love and justice. It is a teaching founded on the life and words of Jesus Christ, who came "to bring glad tidings to the poor . . . liberty to captives . . . recovery of sight to the blind"(Lk 4:18-19), and who identified himself with "the least of these," the hungry and the stranger (cf. Mt 25:45). Catholic social teaching is built on a commitment to the poor. This commitment arises from our experiences of Christ in the eucharist.”
