“The Church’s social doctrine is not the result of human efforts to resolve the social and political problems of coexistence, but rather what is derived from the observation of nature, from listening to the revealed Word of God, and from the experience of history, the teacher of life.”
Marco Invernizzi

In an age marked by profound crises and widespread uncertainty, this volume serves as a guiding light for rediscovering the social doctrine of the Church. It acts as a compass for the Christian’s actions in the world. It is not a rigid or closed system, but a dynamic heritage, open to new contributions and enrichments, provided that its fundamental principles are not altered. Pope Leo also recalls this; as Monsignor Vito Angiuli observes in the Preface, he will find in these pages an answer to his hopes for a renewed appreciation of social doctrine. Through rigorous and timely reflection, the author invites the reader to explore the founding principles which, rooted in faith and reason, offer guidance and hope for contemporary society. By analysing challenges, threats and new opportunities, the text becomes a companion for those who wish to build a world that is more just, united and in accordance with God’s plan, rediscovering the beauty of a way of living together inspired by the common good and the mystery of the person.
