Comments from the authors of the forewords to the book
“I am delighted to welcome this collection of essays on the practical application of Catholic social teaching to some of the most pressing policy tasks we face today.” Rt. Hon. Ruth Kelly, member of the Council for the Economy of the Vatican.
"To articulate properly the implications of Catholic social teaching, alongside theological voices, the Church needs the collaborative participation of those well versed in matters of economy, social and public policy, political theory and human development, at local, national and global levels. This timely and thought-provoking collection is an accessible testimony to such faithful and constructive partnership, promoting that fullness of life which Christ desires for all." Most Rev. John Wilson
