Encyclical Letter
DEUS CARITAS EST - 12/25/05
"Fundamental to Christianity is the distinction between what belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God."
"The just ordering of society and the State is a central responsibility of politics."
"The Church cannot and must not take upon herself the political battle to bring about the most just society possible."
"The direct duty to work for a just ordering of society, on the other hand, is proper to the lay faithful. As citizens of the State, they are called to take part in public life in a personal capacity."
