The document discusses Catholic social justice teaching. It outlines that humans are made in God's image and endowed with intellect and free will. However, original sin has weakened humans, inclining them to commit evil. Catholic social justice flows from Jesus' life and teachings, and attempts to make moral judgments about economic and social matters based on revealed truth. It provides principles for reflection, criteria for judgment, and guidelines for action. The principles of Catholic social justice include human dignity, respect for life, solidarity, and preferential option for the poor.
