Justice has always been a fundamental concern of the Church, yet many Catholics are only vaguely aware of those teachings. Happy the People assists Catholic parishioners to better understand the basic themes of Catholic social justice teachings through an individual or group study format.
It references Catholic teaching documents from the Popes and Bishops to familiarize the reader with the major themes and their development and to better equip him/her to speak out on today's issues. Using teaching documents, Scripture, and examples to teach readers, Happy the People not only teaches about social teaching, but shows why it is important to recognize its interconnection to our lives. This book is distinctive in linking justice teachings to Scripture and to liturgical worship by inclusion of scriptural quotations and popular hymns/songs used at Mass. It also contains a chapter on turning faith into action and describes how to start a social justice ministry/committee in your parish.
