A Catechism of the Social Question

by John Augustine Ryan

Excerpt from A Catechism of the Social Question

Further information and thought are necessary, how ever, and the best way to use the Catechism for that purpose is for groups of pe0p1e to study it together. Such groups need not be large. A few willing people are enough. They can meet once a week, but they should be interested enough to spend a part of their remaining spare time reading and thinking about the labor problem. A leader, whether priest or layman, will be a great help. Groups such as this in Catholic parishes, societies and Cities are greatly needed. They are a recognized part of Catholic work, and in other countries they are common. In some places in the United States they can already be found, but a vast number of them is required if Catholic social teachings are to animate as and if we are to restore all things m Christ.
