John Paul II and the contemporary economic order

Josip Jelenić ; Papinsko sveučilište Gregorijana u Rimu, Rim, Italija

Abstract

In his interpretation of the tasks of the economy – in the social encyclicals Laborem exercens, Sollicitudo rei socialis, Centesimus annus – John Paul II evades the ideological trap by drawing on Theology and thus giving his teaching a universal human dimension. The theological character of the Social Teachings of the Church is analysed from the following vantage points: (1) their supraideological dimension, (2) the advantageousness and relativity of the economic neoclassical model, and (3) the 'economic' teachings of John Paul II.
