Rerum Novarum

Encyclical (papal letter) on the condition of the working classes written 1891 by Pope Leo XIII in response to the conditions arising from the Industrial Revolution. It condemned socialism as an infringement of the right of the individual to hold private property but advocated the idea of a just wage, and stated that the place of women was in the home. The principles of Catholic social teaching that it sets out have inspired debate and discussion ever since.
