Catholic social teaching says that all people, lay or ordained, share the duty of working toward the common good. The challenge lies in identifying unjust situations and connecting one's faith with social action. The reader is encouraged to apply the principles of Catholic social teaching by seeing social situations, judging them in light of those principles, and identifying actions intended to promote justice and improve situations of those being served.--
