Here is a link to the article on Zenit, where we read of the presentation of the "Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church," made in a press conference by Cardinal Renato Martino, president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.
If anyone finds a link to the actual text of the Compendium, I'd appreciate if you could post the link here. Thanks. I presume it's only a matter of time before an e-copy will be available. In the mean time, here is Zenit's brief commentary on it.
Check out the American answer to Catholic Social Doctrine that spelt collapse of Catholicism in Cuba and the Phillipines.That is the Monroe Doctrine that this administration follows blindly.
In this analysis, Zenit explains the basic principles behind the Church's social doctrine, as a background to the recently released Compendium.
I, too, would be interested in an actual look at the Compendium...especially if it becomes available online.
The sourcebook for the new Compendium can be found online here.
Zenit reports on one of the first chapters in the new Compendium, dedicated to the family.
