“The rights of workers, like all other rights, are based on the nature of the human person and on their transcendent dignity.” ﹣Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, #301
By our work, we participate as “co-creators of God’s Kingdom,” as Pope John Paul II has declared.
“Work represents a fundamental dimension of human existence as participation not only in the act of creation but also in the act of redemption.” ﹣Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, #263
