Excerpt: ... OUR SOCIAL AIMS IN BRIEF As expressed in the Encyclical of Pope Pius X on Catholic Social Action, addressed to the Bishops of Italy, June n, 1905. I. To combat anti-Christian civilization by every just and lawful means, and to repair in every way the grievous disorders which flow from it. II. To reinstate Jesus Christ in the family, the school and society. III. To reestablish the principle that human authority represents that of God. IV. To take close to our heart the interests of the people, especially those of the working and agricultural classes, not only by the inculcation of religion, the only true source of comfort in the sorrows of life, but also by striving to dry their tears, to soothe their sufferings, and by wise measures to improve their economic conditions. V. To endeavor, consequently, to make public laws conformable to justice, and to amend or suppress those which are not so. VI. Finally, with a true Catholic spirit, to defend and support the rights of God in everything, and no less the sacred rights of the Church. Instaurare omnia in Christo To restore all things in Christ.
