The document discusses the social mission of the Catholic Church. It states that the Church continues Jesus' work of proclaiming God's kingdom through its saving works and sign of victory over sin. The Church has a responsibility to build a just and peaceful society on Earth. It does this through Catholic Social Teachings, which are concepts extracted from revelation and natural law that address modern social problems. The document outlines the three-step process of see, judge, act that Catholics use to apply these teachings and work for social change.
