Abstract

This section deals with the pastoral letter "Economic Justice for All: Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economy," published by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in November 1984. The bishops have considered responses and comments from all across the political and religious spectrum in preparing this final statement. The bishops' motivation for writing the pastoral letter is the host of economic problems that plagues the U.S. and the world. In their own words, they write not only to provide guidance for the members of their own church, but also to elicit the "cooperation and support of those who do not share our faith or tradition. The pastoral letter also calls for a thorough reform of the nation's welfare system. INSET: Precedes 1.

3. The Bishops' Letter on the U.S. Economy: A Philosophical Defense.

Author

Abstract

The article deals with the "Pastoral Letter on Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economy." The document has been endorsed by the U.S. Catholic Bishops, because it is likely that many people will come to accept or consider its conclusions. The pastoral begins with an account of the "signs of the times." These signs call for a moral response on our part. The ultimate principle of Chapter 2 of the pastoral is the principle of human dignity. Critics of the letter have raised various objections to the policy recommendations contained in it. Yet even if the criticisms of the policy recommendations of the pastoral can be answered in many ways, there still remains a fundamental problem for the pastoral.
