"The repeated calls issued within the Church's social doctrine,
beginning with Rerum Novarum, for the promotion of workers'
associations that can defend their rights must therefore be honored
today even more than in the past, as a prompt and far-sighted
response to the urgent need for new forms of cooperation at the
international level, as well as the local level." - Benedict XVI,
CARITAS IN VERITATE, Paragraph 25 THIS BOOK provides summaries and
commentaries for five landmark papal encyclicals defending workers
and their unions. These are: Leo XIII's 1891 Rerum Novarum; Pius
XI's 1931 Quadragesimo Anno; John XXIII's 1961 Mater et Magistra;
and John Paul II's 1981 Laborem Exercens and 1991 Centesimus Annus.
The heart of the book is an extended summary and commentary on each
of the above five encyclicals, which are often mentioned but seldom
studied. The book opens with the author's analysis of the late
modern breakdown of Catholic evangelization among the working
classes especially in the United States and other English-speaking
industrialized countries. It concludes with a proposed pastoral
strategy of global church-labor solidarity to overcome both the
older mid-19th century "loss of the working class" to the Catholic
Church in much of Western Europe, and also the newer recently
developing "loss of the working class" to the Catholic Church in
the United States and other English-speaking industrialized
countries. As the book makes clear, the Social Magisterium of the
Catholic Church defends workers' unions as an essential human right
rooted in workers' sharing in the image of God, and having the
God-given human right to organize for their defense and for
participation in decision-making within their workplaces. Bishops
and other pastoral leaders who do not build their pastoral
strategies for evangelization on this central theme of Catholic
Social Teaching undermine their own Catholic (universal) vocation
to preach the full Gospel of Jesus to all social classes. JOE
HOLLAND is an eco-social philosopher and Catholic theologian with a
Ph.D. in the field of Social Ethics from the University of Chicago.
His earlier book, MODERN CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING 1740-1958, traces
the wisdom tradition of Catholic Social Teaching from its early
modern expression through to the death of Pius XII. It addresses
the tradition's development as first an anti-modern, and then a
modern, ecclesial strategic response to the early and middle stages
of Liberal Capitalism and Scientific Socialism. In a forthcoming
book on John XXIII, and in additional future books on subsequent
popes, Joe plans to address the postmodern development of the
tradition from 1958 forward. These books will describe the still
developing postmodern Catholic ecclesial strategic response to the
turbulent local-global crises of both Liberal Capitalism and
Scientific Socialism. They will also highlight the Spirit-inspired
seeds of hope -- emerging across the human family -- for a
regenerative local-global ecological civilization.
