Part 16: In the next entry of his new weekly series on the Sacred Heart, Dr. Robert Stackpole explores the connection between devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Catholic social teaching on matters of justice, outlining a vision for a civilization of love.
The Church is Catholic, a word that means “universal.” The Church’s ancient Tradition holds that by taking on one instance of human nature, Jesus took on all human nature, redeeming and sanctifying all, if only we consent and cooperate with His grace.
The Church calls on us all to pursue the New Evangelization in order to establish a Culture of Life that will lead to the advent of a Civilization of Love.
While the Church never puts forth a detailed set of economic and social policies, she does leave little doubt that the world would be a vastly better place if it followed His command.
