"Action on behalf of justice and participation in the transformation of the world (society) is a constitutive (essential) dimension of the preaching of the Gospel." (1971 Synod of Bishops, Rome)
If our actions do not promote justice and if we are not involved in changing the unjust system of society our missionary work and preaching of the Gospel (Good News) will be destitute of positive effects, that is, they are in vain and useless.
This is the age of participation and the highest level of participation in transforming society is that of the promotion of social justice wherein the poor and oppressed are genuinely liberated from the cycle of economic and social poverty.
