Social teaching of the Church

The Social Teaching of the Church refers to its guidance on how we should build a just, compassionate society. It emphasizes human dignity, the common good, and the importance of caring for the vulnerable. The Church advocates for principles like solidarity—standing together—and subsidiarity—respecting local decision-making—and calls for fair treatment of workers, environmental stewardship, and social justice. These teachings aim to promote peace, respect, and the dignity of every person, inspiring individuals and nations to act ethically and compassionately in creating a more equitable world.
