Important Information

NETWORK is grateful for the call to social justice in Pope Benedict XVI’s new encyclical, Caritas in Veritate, which says we must place the common good and concern for people in poverty at the center of new global economic systems. He also reminds us that “justice is inseparable from charity, and intrinsic to it.” (6)
