The Catechism of the Catholic Church was a document of outstanding importance. Many critics at the time of publication said the Catechism lacked sufficient coverage of the social teaching of the Catholic Church, teaching on justice, peace & human rights. To remedy this, the Vatican commissioned this remarkable new publication from the Pontifical Council for Justice & Peace and Burns & Oates are now its proud publishers. Throughout the course of her history, & particularly in the last hundred years, the Church has never failed, in the words of Pope Leo XIII, to speak the words that are hers with regard to questions concerning life in society. To maintain this tradition, Pope John Paul II has for his part published three great encyclicals that represent fundamental stages of Catholic thought in this area. Moreover, numerous Bishops in every part of the world have contributed to a deeper understanding of the Church's social doctrine.
