How Are Societies to Be Formed?
 
What are Catholics supposed to do about socialism, the plight of the poor, societal inequality, the protection of private property, workers’ rights, social programs, and just wages? What is the Christian ideal of civilization? This book introduces, dissects, and explains these pressing issues in an easy-to-understand way that makes it an indispensable resource. 
Encyclicals from popes who preserved and transmitted Church teaching
 
Rerum Novarum — Pope Leo XIII
Graves de Communi — Pope Leo XIII
Quod Apostolici Muneris — Pope Leo XIII
Immortale Dei — Pope Leo XIII
Motu Proprio on Christian Popular Action — Pope St. Pius X
Notre Charge Apostolique — Pope St. Pius X
Singulari Quadam — Pope St. Pius X
Quadragesimo Anno — Pope Pius XI
 
In an age of profound turmoil, sound Catholic teaching is needed to create and restore societies that foster the common good, which aid mankind on the path to Salvation. Over the decades, from Rerum Novarum to Quadragesimo Anno, the Supreme Pontiffs have consistently taught the unchangeable Catholic principles on which human society must be based. Now is the time for Catholics everywhere to educate themselves on the truths that the Church has perpetually taught and share those perennial social principles with the world. 
 
Pope Leo XIV chose his name to honor Leo XIII, whose social teaching proposed Catholic doctrine as the remedy for the crises of modern society. 
 
This book explains the teachings of Leo XIII and the two popes who followed him, making these same solutions accessible for the Catholics of today.
