Catholic Social Teaching is divided into four chapters. The first chapter deals with CST as an organic developing tradition with a prehistory of influential movements and a post-history of diverse responses to the official teachings. The second chapter includes commentaries on the seven themes of CST as identified by the U.S. bishops. The next chapter analyses and comments on the major pastoral letters of the U.S. bishops. The final chapter has a series of meditations on important justice and peace issues including abortion and care for creation; with personal examples and questions to guide reflection.
