Furthermore, it must not be forgotten that at the root of war there are usually real and serious grievances: injustices suffered, legitimate aspirations frustrated, poverty, and the exploitation of multitudes of desperate people who see no real possibility of improving their lot by peaceful means. La Centesimus Annus (che in latino significa "centesimo anno") è un'enciclica scritta da papa Giovanni Paolo II nel 1991, nel centesimo anniversario dell'enciclica Rerum Novarum di papa Leone XIII del 1891.Fa parte degli scritti sulla dottrina sociale della Chiesa cattolica.Nell'enciclica si fa un'analisi del socialismo e del capitalismo con un occhio nuovo, modificato dall'esperienza della . The answer is obviously complex. Not only has God given the earth to man, who must use it with respect for the original good purpose for which it was given to him, but man too is God's gift to man. Amid changing historical circumstances, this movement has contributed to the building up of a more just society or at least to the curbing of injustice. At the same time, work has a "social" dimension through its intimate relationship not only to the family, but also to the common good, since "it may truly be said that it is only by the labour of working-men that States grow rich".14 These are themes that I have taken up and developed in my Encyclical Laborem exercens.15, Another important principle is undoubtedly that of the right to "private property".16 The amount of space devoted to this subject in the Encyclical shows the importance attached to it. In order to overcome today's widespread individualistic mentality, what is required is a concrete commitment to solidarity and charity, beginning in the family with the mutual support of husband and wife and the care which the different generations give to one another. Invito, en fin, a (mirar al futuro), cuando a se vislumbra. In such cases it is necessary to find — as in fact is partly happening — ways to lighten, defer or even cancel the debt, compatible with the fundamental right of peoples to subsistence and progress. On the contrary, it presupposes sure guarantees of individual freedom and private property, as well as a stable currency and efficient public services. The manner in which new needs arise and are defined is always marked by a more or less appropriate concept of man and of his true good. In the face of a conflict which set man against man, almost as if they were "wolves", a conflict between the extremes of mere physical survival on the one side and opulence on the other, the Pope did not hesitate to intervene by virtue of his "apostolic office",9 that is, on the basis of the mission received from Jesus Christ himself to "feed his lambs and tend his sheep" (cf. Man cannot give himself to a purely human plan for reality, to an abstract ideal or to a false utopia. With heartfelt gratitude to God it must be pointed out that active charity has never ceased to be practised in the Church; indeed, today it is showing a manifold and gratifying increase. La Rerum novarum es un testimonio de lo que hoy se llama "opción preferencial por los pobres". In the countries of the West, different forms of poverty are being experienced by groups which live on the margins of society, by the elderly and the sick, by the victims of consumerism, and even more immediately by so many refugees and migrants. Unfortunately, even today one finds instances of contracts between employers and employees which lack reference to the most elementary justice regarding the employment of children or women, working hours, the hygienic condition of the work-place and fair pay; and this is the case despite the International Declarations and Conventions on the subject26 and the internal laws of States. Sebagai kenangan ulang tahun ke-seratus . In Third World contexts, certain objectives stated by Rerum novarum remain valid, and, in some cases, still constitute a goal yet to be reached, if man's work and his very being are not to be reduced to the level of a mere commodity. However, man's true identity is only fully revealed to him through faith, and it is precisely from faith that the Church's social teaching begins. This seems to be the most urgent problem which the international community has yet to resolve. Is this the model which ought to be proposed to the countries of the Third World which are searching for the path to true economic and civil progress? As history demonstrates, a democracy without values easily turns into open or thinly disguised totalitarianism. Not only is this doctrine an integral part of Christian revelation; it also has great hermeneutical value insofar as it helps one to understand human reality. Centesimus annus, thirty years on, remains an invaluable guide. Ma w dużej mierze charakter krytyki socjalizmu. The Institution "Centesimus Annus - Pro Pontifice" owes its name and birth to the Encyclical "Centesimus Annus" published by Pope John Paul II on May 1st, 1991. La Encíclica de su Santidad Juan XXIII, Pacem in Terri se. There is a real danger that these will re-explode after the collapse of dictatorship, provoking serious conflicts and casualties, should there be a lessening of the moral commitment and conscious striving to bear witness to the truth which were the inspiration for past efforts. She has certainly not done this in order to recover former privileges or to impose her own vision. In situations strongly influenced by ideology, in which polarization obscured the awareness of a human dignity common to all, the Church affirmed clearly and forcefully that every individual — whatever his or her personal convictions — bears the image of God and therefore deserves respect. Economic activity, especially the activity of a market economy, cannot be conducted in an institutional, juridical or political vacuum. The atheism of which we are speaking is also closely connected with the rationalism of the Enlightenment, which views human and social reality in a mechanistic way. Impulsar un nuevo estilo de vida: Recordemos que el odio, la envidia, y la soberbia ensucian la vida, y promueven intenciones que la destruyen. This awareness is also a source of her preferential option for the poor, which is never exclusive or discriminatory towards other groups. Returning now to the initial question: can it perhaps be said that, after the failure of Communism, capitalism is the victorious social system, and that capitalism should be the goal of the countries now making efforts to rebuild their economy and society? Mai 1991 veröffentlichtes päpstliches Lehrschreiben von Johannes Paul II. The Pope does not, of course, intend to condemn every possible form of social conflict. . Francisco, Encuentro con periodistas durante el vuelo hacia Manila del 15 de enero de 2015). The foundation of the right to private initiative and ownership is to be found in this activity. On the other hand, it is certainly true that the type of private property which Leo XIII mainly considers is land ownership.18 But this does not mean that the reasons adduced to safeguard private property or to affirm the right to possess the things necessary for one's personal development and the development of one's family, whatever the concrete form which that right may assume, are not still valid today. At the heart of every culture lies the attitude man takes to the greatest mystery: the mystery of God. 1.- Momento histórico, motivo y tema e !Centesimus Annus". To achieve these goals there is still need for a broad associated workers' movement, directed towards the liberation and promotion of the whole person. In this way, he makes part of the earth his own, precisely the part which he has acquired through work; this is the origin of individual property. Teología del Pueblo. In the course of the 80s, certain dictatorial and oppressive regimes fell one by one in some countries of Latin America and also of Africa and Asia. Moreover, their present condition, marked by difficulties and shortages, is the result of an historical process in which the formerly Communist countries were often objects and not subjects. However, it is only when hatred and injustice are sanctioned and organized by the ideologies based on them, rather than on the truth about man, that they take possession of entire nations and drive them to act.49 Rerum novarum opposed ideologies of hatred and showed how violence and resentment could be overcome by justice. But the earth does not yield its fruits without a particular human response to God's gift, that is to say, without work. The original source of all that is good is the very act of God, who created both the earth and man, and who gave the earth to man so that he might have dominion over it by his work and enjoy its fruits (Gen 1:28). An important, even decisive, contribution was made by the Church's commitment to defend and promote human rights. Without the terrible burden of hatred and resentment which had built up as a result of so many injustices both on the international level and within individual States, such cruel wars would not have been possible, in which great nations invested their energies and in which there was no hesitation to violate the most sacred human rights, with the extermination of entire peoples and social groups being planned and carried out. The Church values the democratic system inasmuch as it ensures the participation of citizens in making political choices, guarantees to the governed the possibility both of electing and holding accountable those who govern them, and of replacing them through peaceful means when appropriate.93 Thus she cannot encourage the formation of narrow ruling groups which usurp the power of the State for individual interests or for ideological ends. Mt 25:31) with the establishment of a new heaven and a new earth (cf. It is also necessary to help these needy people to acquire expertise, to enter the circle of exchange, and to develop their skills in order to make the best use of their capacities and resources. This teaching is seen in the efforts of individuals, families, people involved in cultural and social life, as well as politicians and statesmen to give it a concrete form and application in history. Recent experience has shown that countries which did this have suffered stagnation and recession, while the countries which experienced development were those which succeeded in taking part in the general interrelated economic activities at the international level. The people in it might be humiliated and offended. Los empresarios, por el lugar privilegiado que poseen, tienen mayor obligación de mirar por aquellos que menos tienen, fomentar más espacios de trabajo digno, cooperar con el Estado y sociedades intermedias para la construcción de una sociedad más justa. 34. As a result, there is a growing inability to situate particular interests within the framework of a coherent vision of the common good. The Encyclical Laborem exercens moreover clearly recognized the positive role of conflict when it takes the form of a "struggle for social justice";41 Quadragesimo anno had already stated that "if the class struggle abstains from enmities and mutual hatred, it gradually changes into an honest discussion of differences founded on a desire for justice".42. It establishes the need to maintain vibrant and critical interaction between economics, culture, and politics, emphasizing that of these three, culture is the most important. An insane arms race swallowed up the resources needed for the development of national economies and for assistance to the less developed nations. Man receives from God his essential dignity and with it the capacity to transcend every social order so as to move towards truth and goodness. Pope Leo XIII was aware of the need for a sound theory of the State in order to ensure the normal development of man's spiritual and temporal activities, both of which are indispensable.89 For this reason, in one passage of Rerum novarum he presents the organization of society according to the three powers — legislative, executive and judicial — , something which at the time represented a novelty in Church teaching.90 Such an ordering reflects a realistic vision of man's social nature, which calls for legislation capable of protecting the freedom of all. El hombre mismo es el principal factor de la producción: en él se funda la riqueza de las naciones más que en los recursos naturales. Not only has there been a development in awareness of the rights of individuals, but also in awareness of the rights of nations, as well as a clearer realization of the need to act in order to remedy the grave imbalances that exist between the various geographical areas of the world. When people think they possess the secret of a perfect social organization which makes evil impossible, they also think that they can use any means, including violence and deceit, in order to bring that organization into being. This is evident from the various initiatives which have preceded, and which are to accompany and follow the celebration, initiatives promoted by Episcopal Conferences, by international agencies, universities and academic institutes, by professional associations and by other institutions and individuals in many parts of the world. His needs were few and were determined, to a degree, by the objective structures of his physical make-up. Escrita en 1991 -declarado como año de la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia- en el centenario de la Rerum novarum, esta encíclica tiene como objetivo evidenciar la fecundidad del documento leoniano y contribuir al desarrollo de la Doctrina Social Cristiana, además de analizar ciertos acontecimientos históricos para discernir las nuevas exigencias de. It is not merely a matter of "giving from one's surplus", but of helping entire peoples which are presently excluded or marginalized to enter into the sphere of economic and human development. Mt 16:19). Su. Indeed, there is a risk that a radical capitalistic ideology could spread which refuses even to consider these problems, in the a priori belief that any attempt to solve them is doomed to failure, and which blindly entrusts their solution to the free development of market forces. In fact, for the poor, to the lack of material goods has been added a lack of knowledge and training which prevents them from escaping their state of humiliating subjection. Even in recent years it was thought that the poorest countries would develop by isolating themselves from the world market and by depending only on their own resources. They serve the development of an authentic culture of work and help workers to share in a fully human way in the life of their place of employment.44, The State must contribute to the achievement of these goals both directly and indirectly. These same reforms were also partly the result of an open process by which society organized itself through the establishment of effective instruments of solidarity, which were capable of sustaining an economic growth more respectful of the values of the person. This influence is evident in the numerous reforms which were introduced in the areas of social security, pensions, health insurance and compensation in the case of accidents, within the framework of greater respect for the rights of workers.46. But the term he prefers is simply 'free economy.'. Se preguntaban, pues sobre que modelo seguir, ¿Qué diría la Iglesia? 60. 1 Mei 1991 . (1991) In fact, the purpose of a business firm is not simply to make a profit, but is to be found in its very existence as a community of persons who in various ways are endeavouring to satisfy their basic needs, and who form a particular group at the service of the whole of society. At the root of the senseless destruction of the natural environment lies an anthropological error, which unfortunately is widespread in our day. 37. We are dealing with each individual, since each one is included in the mystery of Redemption, and through this mystery Christ has united himself with each one for ever.108 It follows that the Church cannot abandon man, and that "this man is the primary route that the Church must travel in fulfilling her mission ... the way traced out by Christ himself, the way that leads invariably through the mystery of the Incarnation and the Redemption".109. Finalmente, en 1991 escribió la Encíclica "Centesimus annus", para conmemorar los primeros cien años de la "Rerum Novarum".) The result of this transformation was a society "divided into two classes, separated by a deep chasm".6 This situation was linked to the marked change taking place in the political order already mentioned. Sólo así podrá el hombre cambiarse a sí mismo y contribuir a la mejora de toda la sociedad. Peace and prosperity, in fact, are goods which belong to the whole human race: it is not possible to enjoy them in a proper and lasting way if they are achieved and maintained at the cost of other peoples and nations, by violating their rights or excluding them from the sources of well-being. 2021La tercera encíclica social de Juan Pablo II, llamada Centesimus Annus (El centésimo año), fue promulgada el 1 de mayo de . The Encyclical Sollicitudo rei socialis denounced systematic anti-childbearing campaigns which, on the basis of a distorted view of the demographic problem and in a climate of "absolute lack of respect for the freedom of choice of the parties involved", often subject them "to intolerable pressures ... in order to force them to submit to this new form of oppression".78 These policies are extending their field of action by the use of new techniques, to the point of poisoning the lives of millions of defenceless human beings, as if in a form of "chemical warfare". Decisive sectors of the economy still remain de facto in the hands of large foreign companies which are unwilling to commit themselves to the long-term development of the host country. 20. Socialism considers the individual person simply as an element, a molecule within the social organism, so that the good of the individual is completely subordinated to the functioning of the socio-economic mechanism. Thus, the root of modern totalitarianism is to be found in the denial of the transcendent dignity of the human person who, as the visible image of the invisible God, is therefore by his very nature the subject of rights which no one may violate — no individual, group, class, nation or State. The Western countries, in turn, run the risk of seeing this collapse as a one-sided victory of their own economic system, and thereby failing to make necessary corrections in that system. Still, we must acknowledge that its prophetic message was not fully accepted by people at the time. I now wish to propose a "re-reading" of Pope Leo's Encyclical by issuing an invitation to "look back" at the text itself in order to discover anew the richness of the fundamental principles which it formulated for dealing with the question of the condition of workers. The State could not directly ensure the right to work for all its citizens unless it controlled every aspect of economic life and restricted the free initiative of individuals. In fact, it would appear that needs are best understood and satisfied by people who are closest to them and who act as neighbours to those in need. While these certainly have an influence on freedom, they do not determine it; they make the exercise of freedom more difficult or less difficult, but they cannot destroy it. Directly and according to the principle of solidarity, by defending the weakest, by placing certain limits on the autonomy of the parties who determine working conditions, and by ensuring in every case the necessary minimum support for the unemployed worker.45, The Encyclical and the related social teaching of the Church had far-reaching influence in the years bridging the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This is the place to mention once more the role of trade unions, not only in negotiating contracts, but also as "places" where workers can express themselves. For this reason the struggle to defend work was spontaneously linked to the struggle for culture and for national rights. $ero la solicitud pastoral me ha movido adem-s a, subraar que la consideración atenta del curso de los acontecimientos, para discernir las, nuevas eigencias de la evangelización, forma parte del deber de los pastores. Economic activity was directed towards satisfying these needs. Although they certainly reached their climax in 1989 in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, they embrace a longer period of time and a wider geographical area. Thus the prevailing political theory of the time sought to promote total economic freedom by appropriate laws, or, conversely, by a deliberate lack of any intervention. . The historical experience of the West, for its part, shows that even if the Marxist analysis and its foundation of alienation are false, nevertheless alienation — and the loss of the authentic meaning of life — is a reality in Western societies too. It is by responding to the call of God contained in the being of things that man becomes aware of his transcendent dignity. Even on the eve of the third Millennium she continues to be "a sign and safeguard of the transcendence of the human person",112 as indeed she has always sought to be from the beginning of her existence, walking together with man through history. Inseparable from that required "something" is the possibility to survive and, at the same time, to make an active contribution to the common good of humanity. Many peoples lost the ability to control their own destiny and were enclosed within the suffocating boundaries of an empire in which efforts were made to destroy their historical memory and the centuries-old roots of their culture. dio a conocer el 11 de abril de 1963, su tema principal es la. Then there are the other social forces and ideological movements which oppose Marxism by setting up systems of "national security", aimed at controlling the whole of society in a systematic way, in order to make Marxist infiltration impossible. John Paul's major social encyclical is divided into six sections. Another task of the State is that of overseeing and directing the exercise of human rights in the economic sector. The Centenary of the promulgation of the Encyclical which begins with the words "Rerum novarum",1 by my predecessor of venerable memory Pope Leo XIII, is an occasion of great importance for the present history of the Church and for my own Pontificate. Sin embargo, analizar esta Encíclica y entrar en el debate que se ha This explains why totalitarianism attempts to destroy the Church, or at least to reduce her to submission, making her an instrument of its own ideological apparatus.92. After the Second World War, she put the dignity of the person at the centre of her social messages, insisting that material goods were meant for all, and that the social order ought to be free of oppression and based on a spirit of cooperation and solidarity. 26. And referring to the "contract" aimed at putting into effect "labour relations" of this sort, he affirms with greater precision, that "in all agreements between employers and workers there is always the condition expressed or understood" that proper rest be allowed, proportionate to "the wear and tear of one's strength". Pope Leo wrote: "those whom fortune favours are admonished ... that they should tremble at the warnings of Jesus Christ ... and that a most strict account must be given to the Supreme Judge for the use of all they possess"; and quoting Saint Thomas Aquinas, he added: "But if the question be asked, how must one's possessions be used? For this reason, another name for peace is development.105 Just as there is a collective responsibility for avoiding war, so too there is a collective responsibility for promoting development. El centenario de la promulgación de la encíclica de mi predecesor León XIII, de, venerada memoria, que comienza con las palabras, relevante importancia en la historia reciente de la Iglesia  tambi!n en mi pontificado. Much remains to be done in this area. Gen 4:9; Lk 10:29-37; Mt 25:31-46). In the recent past, the sincere desire to be on the side of the oppressed and not to be cut off from the course of history has led many believers to seek in various ways an impossible compromise between Marxism and Christianity. It would appear that, on the level of individual nations and of international relations, the free market is the most efficient instrument for utilizing resources and effectively responding to needs. This concept of relations between employers and employees, purely pragmatic and inspired by a thorough-going individualism, is severely censured in the Encyclical as contrary to the twofold nature of work as a personal and necessary reality. Among the things which become "old" as a result of being incorporated into Tradition, and which offer opportunities and material for enriching both Tradition and the life of faith, there is the fruitful activity of many millions of people, who, spurred on by the social Magisterium, have sought to make that teaching the inspiration for their involvement in the world. 2. They are moreover emphatically unjust, for they would rob the lawful possessor, distort the functions of the State, and create utter confusion in the community".39 The evils caused by the setting up of this type of socialism as a State system — what would later be called "Real Socialism" — could not be better expressed. Their dignity is not acknowledged in any real way, and sometimes there are even attempts to eliminate them from history through coercive forms of demographic control which are contrary to human dignity. The Church renders this service to human society by preaching the truth about the creation of the world, which God has placed in human hands so that people may make it fruitful and more perfect through their work; and by preaching the truth about the Redemption, whereby the Son of God has saved mankind and at the same time has united all people, making them responsible for one another. 6uiero proponer ahora una (relectura) de la encíclica leoniana, invitando a (echar una, mirada retrospectiva) a su propio teto, para descubrir nuevamente la riqueza de los, Invito adem-s a (mirar alrededor), a las (cosas nuevas) que nos rodean  en las que, por, así decirlo, nos hallamos inmersos, tan diversas de las (cosas nuevas) que caracterizaron el, 0ltimo decenio del siglo pasado. With the intention of shedding light on the conflict which had arisen between capital and labour, Pope Leo XIII affirmed the fundamental rights of workers. In this regard, special mention must be made of volunteer work, which the Church favours and promotes by urging everyone to cooperate in supporting and encouraging its undertakings. It is urgent therefore to promote not only family policies, but also those social policies which have the family as their principle object, policies which assist the family by providing adequate resources and efficient means of support, both for bringing up children and for looking after the elderly, so as to avoid distancing the latter from the family unit and in order to strengthen relations between generations.101, Apart from the family, other intermediate communities exercise primary functions and give life to specific networks of solidarity. La paz se edifica sobre el fundamento de la justicia. It is a strict duty of justice and truth not to allow fundamental human needs to remain unsatisfied, and not to allow those burdened by such needs to perish. However, the risks and problems connected with this kind of process should be pointed out. Mai 1991 veröffentlichtes päpstliches Lehrschreiben von Johannes Paul II. It is in interrelationships on many levels that a person lives, and that society becomes more "personalized". Although people are rightly worried — though much less than they should be — about preserving the natural habitats of the various animal species threatened with extinction, because they realize that each of these species makes its particular contribution to the balance of nature in general, too little effort is made to safeguard the moral conditions for an authentic "human ecology". 50. Rerum novarum criticizes two social and economic systems: socialism and liberalism. Here again the principle of subsidiarity must be respected: a community of a higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of a lower order, depriving the latter of its functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to coordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society, always with a view to the common good.100. the Church replies without hesitation that man should not consider his material possessions as his own, but as common to all...", because "above the laws and judgments of men stands the law, the judgment of Christ".66, The Successors of Leo XIII have repeated this twofold affirmation: the necessity and therefore the legitimacy of private ownership, as well as the limits which are imposed on it.67 The Second Vatican Council likewise clearly restated the traditional doctrine in words which bear repeating: "In making use of the exterior things we lawfully possess, we ought to regard them not just as our own but also as common, in the sense that they can profit not only the owners but others too"; and a little later we read: "Private property or some ownership of external goods affords each person the scope needed for personal and family autonomy, and should be regarded as an extension of human freedom ... Of its nature private property also has a social function which is based on the law of the common purpose of goods".68 I have returned to this same doctrine, first in my address to the Third Conference of the Latin American Bishops at Puebla, and later in the Encyclicals Laborem exercens and Sollicitudo rei socialis.69. Está dirigida a los obispos, al clero, a las familias religiosas, a los fieles de la Iglesia católica y a todos los hombres de buena voluntad. For this to happen, a great effort must be made to enhance mutual understanding and knowledge, and to increase the sensitivity of consciences. de.la Iglesia. Justice will never be fully attained unless people see in the poor person, who is asking for help in order to survive, not an annoyance or a burden, but an opportunity for showing kindness and a chance for greater enrichment. It is necessary to go back to seeing the family as the sanctuary of life. This doctrine is likewise a source of unity and peace in dealing with the conflicts which inevitably arise in social and economic life. The wealth of the industrialized nations is based much more on this kind of ownership than on natural resources. In order better to incarnate the one truth about man in different and constantly changing social, economic and political contexts, this teaching enters into dialogue with the various disciplines concerned with man.
