The Catholic Church’s commitment to social justice is deeply rooted in its mission to promote the dignity of the human person and the common good. Throughout its history, the Church has been one of the leading defenders of the poor, the marginalized, and the excluded, and has played a crucial role in transforming societies by promoting education, health care, and the defense of human rights. This chapter examines how the Church has developed its doctrine on social justice, its response to poverty and inequality, and its contribution to the struggle for equality and solidarity in the context of the modern world.
