ROME, JUNE 15, 2010 (Zenit.org).- The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is taking a look at how its policies line up beside the social doctrine of the Church.
A meeting was held in Rome in early June 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.
