Elements of economy in San Agustín and Santo Tomás de Aquino

Abstract

The Catholic Church from its beginnings has played a preponderant role in the world, the same one that has been strengthened with the pontificate of Pope John Paul II. At a time when it seemed that the "high tech" revolution would lead men, especially young people, to leave spirituality in the background, the vision that the successor of Peter has transmitted has given new vigor to the mission of the church. In this framework, although the Church has assumed a greater leading role in society, it has also taken on the challenge of giving certain signals for the conduct of it. Talking about leading society leads us, ultimately, to the plane of the economy, and it is also in this area that the Church must face the challenge.
