Catholic Social Teaching is not meant to be merely theoretical. As part
of the discipline of applied moral theology, it should help us to discern
how we will act in the face of the dilemmas we encounter in our daily lives.
“As far as the Church is concerned, the social message of the
Gospel must not be considered a theory, but above all else a basis and
motivation
for action…
Today more than ever, the church is aware that her social message will
gain credibility more immediately from the witness of actions than
as a result of its internal logic and consistency.”
John Paul II, Centesimus Annus, n 57.
