Pages- Religion Friday July 12 1991 Renewed solidarity spirit endorsed By JIM RYAN Fifteenth Sunday In OT Mark July 14 1991 On May 1 the feast of Joseph the Worker the Ontario Conference of Catholic Bishops published an open letter entitled One Hundred Years of Catholic Social Teaching The letter is a commemoration of the publication of On the Condition of Workers by Pope Leo XIII 2 a history of the developments in Catholic social teaching in the past one hundred years and an invitation to all in cluding labour business and governments to work together for a genuinely humn society Note the tone of this letter is open not dogmatic It is address ed to a pluralistic society and en courages debate and dialogue was publish ed by Leo to address the new things or conditions that affected labour in the latter years of the 19th century The cause of these new condi tions was the Industrial Revolu tion which had led to the treat ment of labour as a commodity or raw material to be used in the in dustrial process The effect was conflict between capital and labour wealth for the few and poverty for the many The Pope sought to restore peace to this conflict but on a foundation of justice

provided Luke 12 20 Dont forget that God has the last sayso about you and your soul Be wise and not foolish Trust Jesus as your Savior today before it is too late But God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ by whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world Galatians As Christians our glory is found in the old rugged cross where Jesus died for us Take time now to thank the Lord for your salva tion That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men but in the power of God I Corin thians Real faith is not a matter of just knowing facts but knowing

to live in humane conditions with enough to set aside for the future He also supported the right of workers to unionize and insisted on the obligation of governments to pass legislation protecting working people This first stage in Catholic social teaching which extended from 1891 to the late was characterized by church reac tions to individual injustices suf fered by working people The second stage from the to the focused not on individual injustices but on the need for profound changes in the structure of the market economy Two aspects of the reform that was called for are 1 a new im age of Property the goods of this earth belong first and foremost to all people as their common heritage from God a new im age of Social Life we are not in competition pursuing individual ends and private goods but in solitary with each other in pur suit of common ends The third stage of Catholic social teaching since the has been the most productive The thinking in this period has pushed for an understanding of work as a means for people to fulfill their humanity and to con tribute personally to the common good For an economy to be a just one it must not only produce an abundance of goods and services and distribute them fairly but it must also make the producers themselves more human the process The Ontario Bishops close by referring to a specific problem the maquiladora or free trade zone on the Mexican side of the S border The April issue of the Cana dian Forum noted that Mexican wages have fallen nearly per cent since The minimum daily wage in Mexico today is about 10800 pesos Cana dian To achieve a decent stan dard of living it has been calculated that workers need a minimum of 76000 pesos per day 32 Canadian The Ontario Bishops note that the wages and conditions the quiladora plants provide for the Mexican workers are so poor that many factories experience a per cent turnover of workers each year At the same time those jobs for which many Canadians received decent wages are being lost to this country The Bishops conclude with a call to recognize the in our world and a hope that our response will be a renewed spirit of solidarity with all men and women
