Abstract
The Christian community has been involved from its very beginning in social issues. The longing for justice has been a central element in the tradition from earliest biblical times to the present, but the explicit theological discussions of the Church's social teaching took place in 19th and 20th century, and the modern expression of the Church's social teaching began a century ago with Pope Leo XIII's encyclical Rerum novarum, which has become known as the Magna charta for a humane economic and social order. From that small beginning the Church's social teaching has grown and expanded rapidly and become updated doctrinal "corpus" regarding peace, social justice, human rights and dignity, freedom, family topics, economic and trade issues, development, underdevelopment, poverty, et cetera. One of the characteristic themes of today's social teaching is the option or preference love for the poor. This teaching builds up gradually as the Church reads events as they unfold in the course of history. On the one hand the social teaching is constant, for it remains identical in its fundamental inspiration, on the other hand it is ever new, because it is subject to the necessary and opportune adaptations suggested by the changes in historical conditions. The teaching and spreading of her social doctrine becomes today part of the Church's evangelizing mission. We can also say that the ministry of evangelization in the social field is an aspect of the Church' prophetic role especially in condemnation of evils and injustice.
