Option for the Poor: A Hundred Years of Vatican Social Teaching

Copertina anteriore
Gill and Macmillan, 1983 - 328 pagine
"As part of its commitment to human liberation, the Church in Latin America calls for an "option for the poor." Since the time of the Reformation no phrase has caused so much soul-searching and controversy in the Church. Does such an option mean adopting a new direction, or is the option for the poor in line with the mainstream tradition of Catholic social teaching? Donal Dorr seeks to answer this question by carefully examining the past hundred years of social teaching in the Catholic Church. Through a thorough study of what popes, councils, and synods have had to say about poverty and social injustice, Dorr shows that the option for the poor has a solid basis in tradition. Original, balanced, and timely, Option for the Poor makes a valuable contribution to overcoming the controversy and prejudices that attend the debate on liberation theology."--
