Bishop Donald J. Hying of Madison wrote in the Catholic Herald on May 18, 2022, “The social teachings of the Catholic Church are a rich treasury of wisdom, guiding humanity to build a culture of life, love, justice, and compassion, and to seek the common good. Developed over the last century through the writings of popes, the documents of the Second Vatican Council, and the statements of various bishops’ conferences, Catholic social thought illustrates that, while the Gospel of Jesus Christ is not inherently political, it does have political, economic, social and cultural implications.”
