ABSTRACT Many of the Catholic schools established in the nineteenth century had an explicit mission to the poor. This mission was integral to the aims of Catholic schools, aims that included promoting literacy and numeracy and ensuring the inculcation of the Catholic faith and culture in further generations. By the late twentieth century, care for the poor and the preferential option for the poor described the mission to the poor in Catholic schools. The term the preferential option for the poor originated in Liberation Theology within a very specific sociological and ecclesial context, but the understanding of the term deepened as a key theme in Catholic social teaching. This article examines some key Vatican documents on Catholic education in the Conciliar and post Conciliar period and focuses on the strengths and limitations of the vision and implementation of the care for the poor or preferential option for Catholic schools.

ABSTRACT Although the relationship of Catholic mission to colonialism in Africa is a controversial one, it cannot be denied that the Church was instrumental in the progress of African peoples and nations. Drawing inspiration and guidance from the corpus of Catholic Social Teaching, the Church plays a key role in continuing to inspire Africans to the higher goals of human rights and Democracy. A Catholic social imagination, through which Catholics communicate the social demands of their faith as they engage social questions and envision social possibilities in Africa’s pluralist societies, needs to be promoted. The task before the Catholic Church in Africa is to move this rich deposit of faith from being the Church’s best-kept secret to the marketplace of ideas that can constitute the moral foundation for our politics. Helping to frame the moral direction of public policy in the various young or tottering democracies in Africa is a noble vocation that makes the Church remain a critical collaborator in building sustainable and just democratic cultures on the continent.

ABSTRACT In 2016, Pope Francis complemented the seven works of mercy, including ‘feeding the hungry’ with an eighth one, following his encyclical Laudato si’: ‘Let us be merciful to our common home.’ While ending hunger is an SDG-goal, the impact of climate change makes it abundantly clear the need for sustainable food justice. Across the globe, projects are emerging to implement this food justice. As an illustration, we could refer to the increasing interest in forest/food gardening. Although no credit is due to Christianity, in the Low Countries we notice how monasteries and abbeys explicitly subscribe to this trend. In this contribution, I want to link such initiatives to Catholic social thought, focusing on its implications for the discussion on the distinction between charity and justice on the one hand, and the notion of ‘integral ecology’ on the other, and how individual Christians and communities can play a prophetic role.

ABSTRACT In this article, I offer a concise historical overview of the context in which Catholic Social Teaching developed. A necessarily brief account of nineteenth-century Social Catholics in France, Belgium, and the Rhineland demonstrates how three of the four principles of Catholic Social Teaching – solidarity, the common good, and human dignity – were already present in this endeavour. I then turn to the ideas of Wilhelm Emmanuel von Ketteler, Bishop of Mainz, and his development of the concept of subsidiarity, which provides the fourth pillar of Catholic Social Teaching, differentiating it from broader Christian teachings to ‘do good’. Subsidiarity enables people and communities to pursue actions and policies which are best for them, thus providing a trickle-up response to poverty, environmental crises, and other socio-economic emergencies.
在这篇文章中，我对天主教社会教学发展的背景进行了简明的历史概述。对19世纪法国、比利时和莱茵兰的社会天主教徒进行必要的简要说明，说明了天主教社会训诫的四项原则中的三项——团结、共同利益和人类尊严——是如何在这一努力中体现出来的。然后我转向美因茨主教威廉·伊曼纽尔·冯·凯特勒(Wilhelm Emmanuel von Ketteler)的观点，以及他对辅助性概念的发展，辅助性概念提供了天主教社会教学的第四大支柱，将其与更广泛的基督教“行善”教学区分开来。辅助性使人民和社区能够采取对他们最有利的行动和政策，从而对贫穷、环境危机和其他社会经济紧急情况提供涓滴式反应。

ABSTRACT Catholic social teaching (CST) has shown little interest in structural and social forces that impact negatively on the dignity and flourishing of women. Such inattention diminishes CST's credibility and neglects its liberative potential. This article examines an area of structural violence against women, the social reality of prostitution, to illuminate the imperative to expand normative CST to address specific experiences of women. Given the inadequacy of the Catechism's treatment of prostitution as an area of personal moral failing, a reading which fails to understand how cultural and legislative structures bear down on women's freedom and agency, a task for CST emerges. When CST principles are brought into dialogue with empirical attention to women's experience of prostitution, the tradition stands in solidarity with those who inhabit an existential and social periphery. The article argues that CST perspectives should nudge the Catholic Church towards proposing an abolitionist ethic in relation to prostitution.

ABSTRACT The paper sets out a range of challenges facing ministry in today’s increasingly regulated church contexts. Noting the three foci of prophet, priest and king in the Christian’s self-understanding as a disciple of Jesus Christ, the paper goes on to make the case for looking afresh at the prophetic role of the bishop as a member of the community of faith. The bishop, it is argued, speaks from within the community of the church, as the church seeks to engage fruitfully with the world outside the confines of the church. A reassessment of the use of the imagery of the rod and the staff from psalm 23 in the life of episcopacy is offered as the paper explores the sacramentality of ordination.
