CATHOLIC SOCIAL THOUGHTS 2 Overview Catholic Social Thought (CST) is a doctrine that postulates that we (people) are conjointly dependent as well as interrelated to one another (Finn, 2010). It shows that the CST supports the point that each individual is created in the likeness of their creator.

It’s therefore understood that he (God) is part of our living.

It was the cornerstone of realisation of a moral community plus subjected to the birth of each person for putting the law values. Ideally, the self respect of a human person needs no restrainingsince it could lower humanity (Hornsby-Smith, 2006).3. Universal purpose of goodsThis principle is that it shows a person/s right on accessing goods as well as materials with a common objective of continued existence. However, goods and rights related to one another are given only for the development of humankind and meet the standard of the framework as Kammer (2004) holds. 4. SubsidiarityThe policy of Subsidiarity bridges a gap between the affected societies plus the policy makers. It is perceived to be significant when it comes to resolving uncontrollable problems at the local set up in the community with the aim of making immediate decisions for all (Massaro, 2005).5.
