Synopsis

A clear, accessible guide to Catholic teaching on labor, wages, and the common good.

This nonfiction volume gathers authoritative Catholic documents on work and industry to show how tradition speaks to today’s labor questions. It traces a continuous thread from ancient moral principles to modern discussions about wages, workplace rights, and social reform, focusing on the industrial order and its impact on people and society. The book presents the Church’s current guidance through the voices of popes, cardinals, and bishops, highlighting how consistent teachings inform practical approaches to economic life.

Readers will encounter a thoughtful overview of key ideas, including fair wages, safer working conditions, limits on excessive work, and the role of unions and cooperative enterprises. The text also discusses farm labor, family life, education, and the dangers of godlessness and state overreach as they relate to the duties of workers, employers, and public authorities. The result is a cohesive map of Catholic social thought applied to the realities of the modern economy.

• How the Church defines a just wage and fair labor standards.
• The role of unions, state intervention, and cooperative efforts in improving work life.
• Guidance on protecting family life, education, and the home as central to social health.
• Historical continuity between traditional Catholic principles and contemporary economic reform.

Ideal for readers of Catholic social teaching, labor history, and policy-minded readers seeking a grounded, practical framework.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Otf BY REV. JOHN A. EYAIST, D,D. THIS volume is the first of a series which will endeavor to present adequately and authoritatively the Catholic doctrine on industrial, social and political institutions and relations. The attitude of the Church toward the individual and the salvation of the individual soul is fairly well understood, notonly by Catholics but by intelligent non-C atholics. What is not so generally realized is the fact that the Church has a comprehensive and definite attitude toward group life, and all the great forms and manifestations of group organization. At no time in her history has the Church overlooked or ignored the fundamental moral fact that individuals live and act in society, as members of social groups, and involved in a great variety of social relations; therefore, that the individuals conduct is in a large measure social. As a member of the existing industrial organization, the individual enters into one set of relations and performs one set of actions; as a member of civil society, he enters another set of relations and performs another set of actions; as a member of society in general, the great society, or the unspecified society, he has other relations and follows another line of conduct. Precisely because the supreme object of the Church is to teach and help the individual to save his soul, she interests herself in social relations and the various forms of social or ganization.
