Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. intro to Catholic Social Thought In this revised edition of a longtime bestseller, lawyer, activist and Jesuit priest Fred Kammer ushers Catholics into the twenty-first century as he confronts the challenge of human poverty and injustice in the context of our consumer-driven, economically fragile world. He defines faithjustice as ..".a passionate virtue which disposes citizens to become involved in the greater and lesser societies around themselves in order to create communities where human dignity is protected and enhanced, and gifts of creation are shared for the greatest good of all.. More than a very clear and compelling introduction to Catholic social teaching (which it is), this book is also a passionate argument that working for social justice is an inseparable aspect of Christian faith -- represented by his joining the two together in a single word. Kammer illuminates the scriptural origins of the Judaeo-Christian commitment to social justice, and enlivens the text with stories from his own long career as an attorney and Jesuit priest advocating for the poor and powerless. For Catholics interested in exploring an aspect of Church doctrine too often overlooked (and anyone interested in Catholic social teaching), his concise discussion of key social justice documents from the Vatican and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is an invaluable resource. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
