The Christian knows that in the social doctrine of the Church can be found the principles for reflection, the criteria for judgment and the directives for action which are the starting point for the promotion of an integral and solidary humanism.
Magisterium includes all the teachings of the Church; with it the Church preserves and transmits the deposit of Faith, or the content of Revelation throughout the centuries.
All the people of God are called to know, preserve and propagate the deposit of Faith, since it is the task of the whole Church to proclaim the Gospel of salvation to all.
