 Pope John Paul II
It is not accidental that the topic emphasized by John Paul II is not the formulation of economic and social answers conforming with Christian principles (in which case we would have a return to 'Catholic social doctrine') but 'Christian humanism' as the basis for the protection of human values.
Vatican II had encouraged local churches to develop their own responses to different realities, and Paul VI in Octogesima Adveniens had offered not specific suggestions but critical/prophetic values which could be used by individual churches to apply in their own societies.
In 1981 the Pope had rather offhandedly written to his Secretary of State about the prospects for organized labor inside his kingdom, 'It is not part of the social doctrine of the Church for this type of organization to indulge in strike action or class struggle, or to serve the interests of any political party."

 SULAIR : Medieval Studies : Gallery
Two damaged portions have early repairs in the form of glued-on vellum patches with the lost text replaced in good manuscript "facsimile." [Notes taken from appraisal] SUMMARY: Martin IV (pope from 22 Feb 1281 to March 28, 1285) completely reversed the policies of his predecessors by throwing his support to the king of France.
This unusually long and detailed document issued by the papal chancery against the Emperor of Byzantium Michael VIII Palaeologos and King Peter III of Aragon illustrates the consequences of this reversal: it threatens both rulers with excommunication unless they promptly comply with the pope's commands.
NOTES: Pope Martin IV was, in fact, the second pope by that name, not the fourth, because "Martin II" and "Martin III" were incorrect spellings in the official papal lists and should have been "Marinus II" and Marinus III." This explains why the above title includes the words "aliis II."
