Encyclical

Something similar happened during the industrial revolution, which society changes. However, the church was present to advocate for those whose happiness was taken away. Pope Leon XIII marked the history of society by writing the Rerum Novarum Encyclical during the industrial revolution.

In relation to this verse, Pope Pius II, in his Encyclical Mystici corporis Christi, develops the doctrine of the union of all Christians with Christ as the fruit of the union of Christ with His Mystical Body. Pius XII considers this personal experience of St. Paul, his life in union with Christ, as being

He states that ‘charity is at the heart of the Church’s social doctrine’ (Benedict XVI, Caritas in Veritate, 2). In speaking of charity, denoted by love for fellow man, the Pope is creating (or restating) the hypostasis of social justice.
