A meeting was held in Rome on Monday to compare the Church’s teaching with the economic and social thought of the international organization. Leaders of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, as well as other officials from the Vatican and from the OECD, participated in the event.
A L’Osservatore Romano article stressed the importance of the OECD’s economic and social thought relating to “the social doctrine of the Church and to the extraordinary effort of elaboration that it has made since the Second Vatican Council, up to Benedict XVI’s ‘Caritas in Veritate.'”
The initiative, unprecedented at this institutional level, was promoted by the National Council for Economics and Labour.
According to L’Osservatore Romano, the OECD constitutes “a true and proper think tank of the advanced world, where good practices of economic and social life are picked up, analyzed and compared.”
