Charity in Truth

Whether you're Catholic or not, the fact is that Catholic Social Teaching has tremendously impacted ethics and politics over the past century-plus since Pope Leo XIII issued Rerum novarum in 1891.

The current Pope, Benedict XVI, is following in the footsteps of his predecessors by issuing an encyclical on social issues, entitled Caritas in veritate, or Charity in Truth. It's well worth reading.
