Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Social Mission of Charity: A Study of Points of View in Catholic Charities This volume was prepared by the author at the invitation of the Department of Social Action of the National Catholic Welfare Council. It is the second volume of the Social Action Series of the Department. The general purpose of the series is to explain the attitude of the Church toward social problems, institutions and philosophies that engage the attention of society at this time. The object of this volume is to discuss fundamental points of view in the relations between Catholic charities and the prevailing sociological interpretations of poverty and relief. The author offers a general analysis of the social background of poverty and describes the problems that it causes, in the terms of that analysis. Similarly the constructive aims of relief work are set forth from this standpoint. This method furnishes a simple basis of classification and interpretation of the countless activities resulting from our general endeavor to deal with poverty in the light of practical social ideals. The various phases of social endeavor to deal with poverty are described as steps in the development of what the author terms the supplementary social constitution. By showing the intimate relation between relief and prevention in dealing with a single case of dependency, and by insisting on preventive social action against poverty as a whole, the author urges us to view the entire field of social service from the supernatural standpoint and to invest with high spiritual dignity everything that is done to protect the weaker social classes in the name of charity and justice.
