Book excerpt: The classic on Catholic social teaching with an emphasis on the option for the poor and economic inequality has been expanded to include Catholic teaching on care for the environment. Dorr demonstrates the development of these different areas of Catholic social teaching over time, highlighting their strengths and weakness. This expanded and revised edition of Option for the Poor includes five new chapters. The first deals extensively with the issue of the equality and complementarity of women. The next is a lengthy and quite critical examination of Pope Benedict's first encyclical, Deus caritas est. The next two chapters deal with his encyclical Caritas in veritate and the follow-up to it in the document from the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, "Towards Reforming the International Financial and Monetary Systems in the Context of Global Public Authority." The last of the new chapters is an extended examination of the issue of ecology as it has been treated in documents from Vatican over half a century.

Download or read book Option for the Poor written by Donal Dorr and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As part of its commitment to human liberation, the Church in Latin America calls for an "option for the poor." Since the time of the Reformation no phrase has caused so much soul-searching and controversy in the Church. Does such an option mean adopting a new direction, or is the option for the poor in line with the mainstream tradition of Catholic social teaching? Donal Dorr seeks to answer this question by carefully examining the past hundred years of social teaching in the Catholic Church. Through a thorough study of what popes, councils, and synods have had to say about poverty and social injustice, Dorr shows that the option for the poor has a solid basis in tradition. Original, balanced, and timely, Option for the Poor makes a valuable contribution to overcoming the controversy and prejudices that attend the debate on liberation theology."--

Download or read book Happy are You Poor written by Thomas Dubay and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the modern mind, the concept of poverty is often confused with destitution. But destitution emphatically is not the Gospel ideal. A love-filled sharing frugality is the message, and Happy Are You Poor explains the meaning of this beatitude lived and taught by Jesus himself. But isn't simplicity in lifestyle meant only for nuns and priests? Are not all of us to enjoy the goodness and beauties of our magnificent creation? Are parents to be frugal with the children they love so much? The renowned spiritual writer Dubay gives surprising replies to these questions. He explains how material things are like extensions of our persons and thus of our love. If everyone lived this love there would be no destitution. After presenting the richness of the Gospel message, more beautiful than any other world view, he explains how Gospel frugality is lived in each state of life.
