A question about the Church’s Social Teaching

A question about the Church’s Social Teaching February 8, 2013

A reader writes:

I have a query for you, I know that the Catholic Church through its Popes have written certain encyclicals regarding work and condition of workers. I have came to know about and read partly “Rerum Novarum” and “Laborem Exercens”. Are there any other encyclicals which can be gone through and read pertaining to same subject matter of work, workers, condition of workers, or labour ? Please guide me in this.

Other possible resources are Quadragesimo Anno, Centesimus Annus, Populorum Progressio and Caritas in Veritate.  Also, be sure to look at the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church. In our impoverished culture of political tribalism, it’s a welcome remedy to bizarre dichotomies of Western civic discourse.
