Community and the Common Good

The common good is attained when systems and structures in society allow every human being to flourish as God intended, with and for others.

“The common good indicates the sum total of social conditions which allows people … to reach their fulfillment more fully and more easily.” ﹣Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, #164

“The common good involves all members of society; no one is exempt from cooperating, according to each one’s possibilities, in attaining it and developing it.” ﹣Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, #167
