Sharing Catholic Social Teaching: Challenges and Directions

June 19, 1998
This publication is a summary report of the US Bishops’ Task Force on Catholic Social Teaching and Catholic Education, which is broken up into two discrete documents – the bishops’ statement and the Task Force’s analysis. The bishops’ statement seeks to combine the two traditions of education and social engagement, in order to promote a universal recognition of human dignity and collective flourishing. The Catholic social program is based on a vision of the human person as imago Dei, and the Task Force’s report is framed as a call to action to educators and ministers to redouble their efforts within the Church, calling it to serve as leaven in the wider society.
