Interpretari ale gândirii sociale catolice la sfârsitul secolului al XIX-lea. Biserica si Stat în conceptia enciclicei RERUM NOVARUM
Interpretations of Catholic Social Thought at the End of the 19th Century. Church and State in the Encyclical RERUM NOVARUM

Summary/Abstract: In the present article I wish to describe the attitude of the Catholic Church toward the real political-economic situation of the nineteenth century. Pope's argument finds its way to more solid ground when he examines several areas of economy and policy that have been the subject of litigation in the 19th century. The encyclical shares Church's opposition to liberal concepts of the nation and recognition of the key role of State in social life. What makes "Rerum Novarum" so unique is not just its impeccable reputation but the fact that it has cast such an enormous influence on the field of theology and politics.
