V. Justice and Solidarity Among Nations
2442
It is not the role of the Pastors of the Church to intervene directly in the
political structuring and organization of social life. This task is part of the
vocation of the lay faithful, acting on their own initiative with their fellow
citizens. Social action can assume various concrete forms. It should always
have the common good in view and be in conformity with the message of the
Gospel and the teaching of the Church. It is the role of the laity “to
animate temporal realities with Christian commitment, by which they show that
they are witnesses and agents of peace and justice.”230
