Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Pastoral Letter on Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economy of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops was ï¬rst released to the public, it occasioned a storm of controversy. The Bishops were criticized for presuming to enter into the debate on public policy, as well as for the speciï¬c policy recommendations they made. Here, Sterba and Rasmussen debate the philosophical validity of the Bishops' analysis of the U.S. economy, discussing the conception of human dignity philosophically, while critiquing economic empirical evidence.

Book excerpt: What human ends are served by our economic policies? To whom is what “owed” in our country today? Is there an acceptable argument for just wars – or for the proliferation of nuclear weapons? In the final years of the Reagan era, The U.S. Catholic bishops emerged as articulate sources of dissenting wisdom, publicly testing our foreign and domestic policies against the principles of morality and humanity. With the same succinct style of Liberation Theology, Phillip Berryman analyzes two recent and widely circulated texts: the 1982 Challenge of Peace (on nuclear arms) and the 1986 Economic Justice For All. Drawing on debate in and beyond church circles over these letters, Berryman argues that as we search for acceptable answers to urgent political questions we must use ethical and moral traditions if we are to confront them squarely. Only then can we promote peace and prosperity for all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A response to the Catholic Bishops' Pastoral on the U.S. economy, this book presents a lay point of view on Catholic social thought and the economy. Three fundamental principles of Catholic social thought are stated: the sacred dignity of the person, the social nature of human life, and the obligation to assign social decisions to the level of authority best suited to take them (subsidiarity). Within those principles, a sense of balance must be maintained. Co-published with the Lay Commission on Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sociologist and a church historian provide a probling scholarly critique of Economic Justice for All, the American bishops' pastoral letter on Catholicism and the U.S. economy. McCarthy and Rhodes examine the letter's focus on poverty, inequality, and powerlessness in American society. They review classical concepts of social ethics and economic justice as applied by the bishops to analyze the social, political, and economic institutions of American. By examining reactions to the letter from both the political left and right, Eclipse of Justice opens up the full range of debate about the nature of social ethics. The first part of Eclipse of Justice presents the moral dilemma created by the bishops' critique of liberalism (they pronounced it a social and moral scandal) and explores the antecedents--papal, episcipal, and lay--that provided the ideas and vocabulary for the bishops' letter. The second part analyzes the pastoral letter and locates it within the larger context of debates about economic structures in modern liberalism. The third part examines attempts of the bishops to relate Christian social doctrine to international political and economic issues, and probes the contributions of liberation theology and dependency theory.
