"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This is the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12) This teaching of Jesus is at the very heart of the Church's social teaching. The Church is the Mother and Teacher of all humanity, and she strives constantly to guide the entire human family towards peace, justice, and human solidarity.
