Reclaiming Catholic Social Teaching brings Pope Leo XIII's social teachings to the 21st century in an attempt to show where society has gone wrong and what we can do to fix it. And he has many good and useful points to make on that subject. With chapters dedicated to personal, family, and societal issues, the book is both concise and thorough covering quite a bit in only eight chapters. It also manages to avoid jargon and remain accessible to a beginner to the subject of Catholic social teaching. Perfect for anyone interested in the topic or those looking to begin at study of Leo XIII's teachings. Highly recommended. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"In Reclaiming Catholic Social Teaching, Anthony Esolen pulls back the curtain on these false philosophers, showing how they've undermined the authentic teachings of the Church in order to neutralize the biggest threat to their plans for secularization ? the Catholic Church. Esolen explains that Catholic Social Teaching isn't focused exclusively on serving the poor. Indeed, it offers us a rich treasure of insights about the nature of man, his eternal destiny, the sanctity of marriage, and the important role of the family in building a coherent and harmonious society. Catholic Social Teaching offers a unified worldview. What the Church says about the family is inextricable from what she says about the poor: and what she says about the Eucharist informs the essence of her teachings on education, the arts ? and even government. You will step away from these pages with a profound understanding of the root causes of the ills that afflict our society, and ? thanks to Anthony Esolen ? well equipped to propose compelling remedies for them. Only an authentically Catholic culture provides for a stable and virtuous society that allows Christians to do the real work that can unite rich and poor. We must reclaim Catholic Social Teaching if we are to transform our society into the ideal mapped out by the Church: a land of sinners, yes, but one enriched with love of God and neighbor and sustained by the very heart of the Church's social teaching: the most holy Eucharist." -- from publisher's website.
