Book Description

Excerpt from The Labor Question in Its Economic and Christian Aspects Hence it is one of those natural laws, which it is not in the power of-man, or combinations of men, to alter or abrogate, that labor is absolutely dependent on capital, in some amount at least, for its very possibility'and sustentation and in still larger and ever increasing ratios for its success and rewards. Capital is the natural ally, support, and coadjutor of labor. It can notbe otherw1se, except in distempered misconceptions, or through some strange and monstrous mal-adjustment.

The Worker Question


Book Description

This book presents an historical account of the origins of the roots of Catholic social teaching, the papal encyclical Rerum Novarum. This book begins with a detailed analysis of the effects the French and industrial revolutions had upon the Papacy. This time of social change led to questions about the role of the state and the Vatican, the working conditions people experienced and the concept of a just wage. These and other concerns led to a commitment by the Vatican to develop a blue-print on which Catholic social action could be based.
