Tradition

Family

"The family is thus an agent of pastoral activity through its explicit announcement of the Gospel and its legacy of varied forms of witness, namely solidarity with the poor, openness to a multifariousness of people, the protection of cosmos, moral and material solidarity with other families, including those most in need, commitment to the promotion of the mutual skillful and the transformation of unjust social structures, get-go in the territory in which the family unit lives, through the practice of the corporal and spiritual works of mercy." (Pope Francis, On Dear in the Family [Amoris Laetitia], no. 290, quoting the Final Written report of the Synod of Bishops, 10/24/15)

Economical and social policies also as organization of  the work globe should be continually evaluated in calorie-free of their bear upon on the  force and stability of family life. The long-range future of  this nation is intimately linked with the well-existence of families, for the  family is the most basic form of man customs.  Efficiency and competition in the marketplace  must exist moderated past greater business organization for the way work schedules and compensation support or threaten the bonds between spouses and between parents  and children. (United States Conference of Cosmic Bishops, Economic Justice for All, no. 93)

The kickoff and fundamental structure for a "human  ecology" is the family . . . founded on wedlock, in which the  mutual gift of cocky as husband and wife creates an environs in which  children can exist born and develop their potentialities, become aware of their  dignity and prepare to face their unique and individual destiny. (St. John Paul II, On the Hundredth Year [Centesimus Annus], no. 39)

Insofar every bit it is a "small- scale Church building," the Christian family is called upon, similar the "big- scale Church," to be a sign of unity for the earth and in this way to exercise its prophetic role by begetting witness to the Kingdom and peace of Christ, towards which the whole earth is journeying. Christian families can do this through their teaching-that is to say by presenting to their children a model of life based on the values of truth, liberty, justice and beloved-both through active and responsible involvement in the authentically human growth of social club and its institutions, and by supporting in various ways the associations specifically devoted to international issues. (St. John Paul Ii, The Family in the Modern World [Familiaris Consortio], no. 48)


Customs/Participation

Local individuals and groups can make a real difference. They are able to instill a greater sense of responsibility, a potent sense of community, a readiness to protect others, a spirit of creativity and a deep love for the land. . . . Social problems must exist addressed by community networks and not just by the sum of individual practiced deeds. (Pope Francis, On Intendance for Our Common Habitation [Laudato Si'], nos. 179, 219)

People in every nation enhance the social dimension of their lives by interim every bit committed and responsible citizens, not as a mob swayed by the powers that exist. Let united states of america non forget that "responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation." (Pope Francis, The Joy of the Gospel [Evangelii Gaudium], no. 220, quoting United States Conference of Cosmic Bishops, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, Nov. 2007, no. thirteen)

Subsidiarity respects personal nobility by recognizing in  the person a subject who is always capable of giving something to others.  (Pope Benedict Xvi, Charity in Truth [Caritas in Veritate], no. 57)

    The primary  norm for determining the scope and limits of governmental intervention is the  "principle of subsidiarity" cited above. This principle states that,  in guild to protect basic justice, regime should undertake only those  initiatives which exceed the capacities of individuals or private groups interim  independently. Government should not replace or destroy smaller communities and  individual initiative. Rather it should help them contribute more than effectively  to social well-being and supplement their activity when the demands of justice  exceed their capacities. These does not mean, still, that the regime that  governs to the lowest degree, governs best. Rather it defines good authorities intervention equally  that which truly "helps" other social groups contribute to the common  good by directing, urging, restraining, and regulating economic action equally  "the occasion requires and necessity demands".  (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Economical Justice for All, no. 124)

In order that the right to development may be fulfilled past activity:  (a) people should not be hindered from attaining development in accordance with  their own culture; (b) through common cooperation, all peoples should exist able  to become the principal architects of their own economical and social  development. (World Synod of Catholic Bishops, Justice in the Earth [Justica in Mundo], no. 71)

Only God did not create  man equally a solitary, for from the beginning "male and female person he created them"  (Gen. ane:27). Their companionship produces the principal form of interpersonal  communion. For by his innermost nature human is a social being, and unless he  relates himself to others he can neither alive nor develop his potential. (Second Vatican Council, The Church in the Mod Earth [Gaudium et Spes], no. 12)
