Cardinal Turkson\u003c\/b\u003e (Annotations by)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiving out the social message of the Catholic Christian faith is not only an academic question. But if someone asked you for one book that clearly elucidated that message, what could you give them? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJust as the \u003ci\u003eCatechism of the Catholic Church\u003c\/i\u003e (1992) has become a standard reference for informed Catholics about the Church's general doctrine, popes since John Paul II have expressed a desire for a \"social Catechism\" that succinctly presents the implications of the faith for social and political life and its connection to the new evangelization. This work aims to fill that void. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHandbook of Catholic Social Teaching\u003c\/i\u003e employs a question and answer format, to better accentuate the response of the Church's message to the questions Catholics have about their social role and what the Church intends to teach about it. It is the first short book on Catholic Social Teaching to ground itself thoroughly in the longer and authoritative \u003ci\u003eCompendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church\u003c\/i\u003e (2004), following the compendium's structure but rendering its key points more succinctly and accessibly. It also brings in more recent papal encyclicals like \u003ci\u003eCaritas in Veritate\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLaudato Si\u003c\/i\u003e and new special topics (such as gender ideology). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in consultation with the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, and already a best-seller in Italy, the Handbook should take its place alongside the \u003ci\u003eCatechism\u003c\/i\u003e on the shelf of informed Catholics as works that can inform what we believe and do in the public sphere.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin Schlag is at the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 17, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52740308140339,"sku":"9780813229324","price":46.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/RnNhOEhNcFhhMlZNRzR2Tjl3SmcwUT09.webp?v=1764068437","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/handbook-of-catholic-social-teaching-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
