Abstract

In 1891 Pope Leo XIII published the first social encyclical, Rerum novarum. In the preceding decades of the 19th century, several papal encyclicals had dealt with social and political problems of the time under different aspects, but Rerum novarum was the first encyclical in which the Catholic Church spoke out about the economic and social situation of the workers and thereby directly addressed the Social Question. With Rerum novarum a tradition of Catholic social theory came into being that still holds good today: in the 125 years after Rerum novarum almost a dozen papal social encyclicals have been issued which mirror the social, economic and political developments.
