Abstract

AbstractThis paper demonstrates different ways in which Edith Stein’s philosophical thought supports many concepts, principles, and applications of Catholic Social Teaching. Notably, Stein’s own 1933 letter requesting that Pope Pius XI denounce “deeds perpetrated in Germany which mock any sense of justice and humanity, not to mention love of neighbor,” was precisely a call for a pronouncement that would have fallen directly into the then nascent body of Catholic Social Teaching. Ironically, it was Pius XI who two years earlier coined the term “Christian social teaching” in his 1931 encyclical, “Quadragesimo Anno” (87).
