The Catholic Church's Proposal for Holistic Human Development

💡 The Catholic Church promotes integral human development.

🌍 Development and progress are central to addressing contemporary social issues.

📚 Development encompasses social progress, education, and meaningful work.

💡 The proposal of integral human development is based on four key principles: human dignity, common good, solidarity, and subsidiarity.

🌍 Development must prioritize the presence and integration of these principles to avoid reproducing inequality, poverty, and dehumanization in the world.

👉 The social teaching of the church emphasizes charity as a key force for development.

🌍 The responsibility of individuals and institutions is crucial in addressing poverty and hunger worldwide.

💪 The international political community should prioritize human beings and nations most affected by unjust wealth distribution and economic systems.

🌍 Development requires a transcendent vision of the person and a recognition of their dignity.

⛪ The church is actively involved in promoting authentic and integral development.

👥 The church defends human dignity and supports communities and international institutions.

🌍 The encyclical emphasizes current environmental, political, and economic crises and the need for sustainability as a key to progress and development.

🌱 The church proposes fundamental steps for integral human development, including recognizing the agency of the poor, providing both spiritual and material support, and upholding justice.

🤝 The importance of peaceful dispute resolution, serving others, and respecting the common good are highlighted as ways to promote human development.

🌍 The Catholic Church established the dicastery for integral human development in 2016, which focuses on justice, peace, and environmental issues.

🤝 The dicastery collaborates with international organizations, non-governmental associations, and humanitarian agencies to address global challenges.

💞 It expresses the concern and care of the Pope for the suffering and marginalized, working towards the well-being of those in need.

🌍 Supranational organizations are committed to the holistic development of individuals.

⏰ Time is an important factor in the context of development.
