Economic justice

  The economy must serve people, not the other way around.
All workers have a right to productive work, to decent and fair wages, and to safe working conditions.
They also have a fundamental right to organize and join unions. People have a right to economic initiative
and private property, but these rights have limits. No one is allowed to a mass excessive wealth when others
lack the basic necessities of life.

Stewardship of God's Creation

  The goods of the earth are gifts from God, and they are intended by God for the benefit of everyone.
There is a "social mortgage" that guides our use of the world's goods, and we have a responsibility to care
for these goods as stewards and trustees, not as mere consumers and users. How we treat the environment is a
measure of our stewardship, a sign of our respect for the Creator.

everyone has to look after each other and lend things or keep track of each other. Also that we owe a debt to God so we need to respect the Earth for him . I also think by steward and trustee it is saying
we need to protect and prolong the gifts that God has given us to benefit our lives.
