Sažetak

The Catholic Church, as a participant of social life, and because of its mission, considers itself to be responsible for expressing its position on all social, as well as on economic issues. That right is also recognized by the contemporary legislation. However, that position is not always known enough in public. The Church cannot give some concrete technical solutions based upon its Social Doctrine, niether it has that role. However, the Church, as an importan institution of religious and social life as a whole, can and must enter the dialogue on economic issues, off ering its view on them and acting in public life through other forma lan informal institutions according to its mission. The Church had always taken care of those in need, and with social changes in the industrial revolution has started to sistematically build its Social Doctrine which is being developed it until today. In Social Doctrine of the Church, exposed by the Church Magisterium, and based upon The Holy Scripture, the fundamental position on economic matters is clearly exprssed: human person is in the center of the entire economic life and should be given priority over all other interests in economics. The Church has built the principles underlying its social teaching: human dignity, common good, subsidiarity and solidarity and has also given its opinion on certain issues: work, economics and international development.
