Documents That (Still) Matter #11

About The Document

We will be reading Pope Benedict's Caritas in veritate, translated means Charity in Truth. It is about all contemporary forms of human development in charity and truth as well as truth in charity. It is an incremental addition to the Church’s social teaching with the stated purposes of observing the fortieth anniversary of Pope Paul VI’s great social encyclical, Populorum Progressio, and of bringing it up to date with respect to global developments since the 1960s. Unlike her dogmas of Faith, the Church’s social teaching operates at the intersection of faith, natural law, and specific contemporary conditions. As such it is very much part of a larger conversation.
