ABM, Ladao 

What do I already know about the topic (Social Teachings of the

Catholic Church)?

Since senior high school, I’ve been into a catholic school

wherein every semester we have a theology class. Honestly, I
somehow know some topics of Social Teachings because of my uncle
who is a missionary that were assigned in India for almost 20
years now and every time he came home we had some real talks
about our subject. As far as I remember, he told me that it is a
rich treasure of wisdom about building a just society and living
lives of holiness amidst the challenges of the new generation in
a modern society. The ideas that I think that we will discuss
does not focus only about the principles and values of the Social
Teachings of the Catholic Church but as well as it address
oppression, the role of the state,
subsidiary, social organization, concern for social justice, and
issues of wealth distribution. Due to what I have knew as of now,
all I can say is that catholic social teaching is designed to
protect and promote the dignity of every person and help us to
discover and identify our purpose or our role in this life with
the ideals from the teachings of the Church.
