		Catholic schools represent, in many ways, the Catholic Church's primary exercise of the command of Christ to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded" (Matthew 28:19-20 NIV).

		In this document he is more interested in looking at social teaching in the light of the concept of work, than in formulating new norms for a changed social situation.
		The social question arose in the last century as a “reaction against the degradation of man as the subject of work, and against the unheard-of accompanying exploitation in the field of wages, working conditions and social security for the worker” (no. 8).

		Catholic social justice teachings are a collection of documents, encyclicals and synod statements, that date back to 1891 with the issuance of Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII and come along to our current day.
		The teachings of the documents address the challenges to justice presented to people of faith especially in the areas of economic justice, labor relations, global relations and peace and disarmament.
		In some sense it is true that the social justice documents apply the scriptural imperative to care for one another, especially the poor, to the social and economic relationships we set up for ourselves and neighbors within and beyond our borders nationally and globally.

	Catholic Social Teaching and Economic Law: An Unresolved Tension
		We must assume that the architects of Catholic social teaching consider the ill effects of such intervention to be either minimal or nonexistent, since that teaching nowhere makes moral provision for workers who will be priced out of the market by the implementation of state-imposed wage increases and improvements in working conditions.
		Indeed much of Catholic social thought suggests that the problem of economics and wealth is to a significant degree a matter of human manipulation and contrivance rather than a rational and sober reckoning with the constraints and scarcities with which man is naturally confronted.
		As this paper has shown, Catholic social teaching is based at its root on a series of unproven assumptions regarding the operation of the market and the determination of wage rates.
