Caritas in Veritate (129048)

A summary of Caritas in Veritate (CIV) begins with understanding its importance and requires recognizing its complexity and ambition and also its simplicity.

In CIV, Pope Benedict XVI confirms the ?details? of Catholic social teaching while taking it ?beyond? these particulars: Pope Benedict XVI made clear that a main goal of Caritas in Veritate is to?move Catholic social teaching in a different direction.

So, while there is much in Caritas that addresses specifics (mobility of labor, ethical tourism, water rights, energy distribution, migration, development aide, etc.) Pope Benedict XVI takes Catholic social teaching ?beyond? these by focusing the Church?s social teaching on the need to consider man in?all his aspects?? especially his spiritual development and needs.
