Fact Sheet: Catholic Social Teaching and the Wealth Gap

Aug 03, 2011 | By Mary Georgevich [1]

In the body of documents that make up Catholic Social Teaching, Catholic leaders have discussed many of the themes and issues we have been exploring in the Mind the Gap! campaign.

This fact sheet [2] includes quotations from some of those documents on themes such as taxes [3], the racial wealth gap [4] and unions [5]. The documents included are from both the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Pope Benedict XVI and past popes. Together, they describe a hope for a better world, with greater equality, peace and justice for everyone.

For more information on Catholic Social Teaching, see this blog post [6].
