Social Teaching of the Church

Based on Mark 14:7

"Surely you're not saying we have the resources to save the poor from their lot? There will be poor always, pathetically struggling, look at the good things you've got! Think while you still have me, move while you still need me. You'll be lost and you'll be sorry when I'm gone!"
--Jesus Christ Super Star

Is not about capitalism , is not about socialism. Let your government be what you want it to be. However the moral standing of a society can measured by how their poor are treated.

The Poor. Catholic teaching vs Political teaching

Jesus says "care for the poor".
Politicians convince people they can eliminate poverty.

We covered with the kids the story of the master and the steward.
Not an easy thing to explain to the kids.
Class went pretty good on Sept 18

Getting ready for Sept 25 class which continues the presentation of the social-role of The Church.
