Abstract

A question hangs over the authoritative status of what has come to be called Catholic Social Teaching. The recent publication of the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church gives added point to this question.

The most recent encyclical in this area, Benedict XVI's Caritas in Veritate, is analysed.
