The aim of foreign assistance, according to Catholic social thought, is integral human development. The phrase comes from Populorum Progressio (1967), recently described by Pope Benedict XVI as “the Rerum Novarum of the present age.” In Populorum Progressio, Pope Paul VI placed the condition of poor-country populations at the center of the church’s social concern, much as Rerum Novarum (1891) had done for industrial-country workers.
