II. “Him Only Shall You Serve”
2105
The duty of offering God genuine worship concerns man both individually and
socially. This is “the traditional Catholic teaching on the moral duty of
individuals and societies toward the true religion and the one Church of
Christ.”30 By constantly evangelizing men, the Church works toward
enabling them “to infuse the Christian spirit into the mentality and
mores, laws and structures of the communities in which [they]
live.”31 The social duty of Christians is to respect and awaken in
each man the love of the true and the good. It requires them to make known the
worship of the one true religion which subsists in the Catholic and apostolic
Church.32 Christians are called to be the light of the world. Thus, the
Church shows forth the kingship of Christ over all creation and in particular
over human societies.33
