Social Catholicism

Social Catholicism is a movement within the Catholic Church that emphasizes the importance of applying Christian principles to social issues such as poverty, inequality, and workers’ rights. It encourages Catholics to advocate for social justice, fair treatment, and the common good, inspired by teachings like those in the Bible and encyclicals such as Rerum Novarum. Rather than focusing solely on individual salvation, Social Catholicism promotes active engagement in creating a more just and compassionate society, stressing that faith calls believers to serve others and address societal problems in accordance with Christian values.
