Catholic Social Teaching is a relatively new and growing body of
theology. Its foundation can be found in the Bible and Tradition of
the Church. However, it began to be formalized beginning in 1891
with the writing of Pope Leo's revolutionary Social
Letter/Encyclical, On the New Things/Rerum Novarum. It subsequently
has been woven through all the many Social Encyclicals written by
the modern popes, right up to the current pope, Francis. This book
is written about the many themes of Catholic Social Teaching found
in these Social Letters as well as an emphasis particularly on
distributive justice as found in every modern Papal Social Letter.
Additionally, these Letters often discuss the current failures of
modern economic systems (Capitalism, Communism, and Socialism) to
meet the needs of a majority of people in the world, particularly
the poor and marginalized. Although these Social Letters never
propose any new economic system, the heavy emphasis on distributive
justice found in all of them is used as a basis to discuss a
proposed and untried economic system called "Distributism."
Distributism was first introduced to the world in the early 1900's
by Catholic writer and theologian, G.K. Chesterton and Hilaire
Belloc.
