Chapter 15 in Handbook of Spirituality and Business, 2011, pp 118-128 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Since the latter part of the nineteenth century the Roman Catholic Church has developed a rich body of teachings, based on Christian spirituality and morality, regarding how a Christian should behave in social life, including in business and other economic activities.1 This is known as Catholic Social Doctrine and also as Catholic Social Teaching (CST). The aim of this chapter is to present a brief outline of such teaching,2 with special reference given to business and economic activities and their connection with Christian spirituality and morality.
