If Catholic social teaching embraces uncontrolled capitalism it endorses a system that leads to slavery, and if it turns to socialism, it could easily find itself supporting a system with the same slaves laboring under another name. The result could be a delicate dance between cooperation and competition, self-regulation and state regulation, innovation and tradition, and social harmony and conflict. That dance leads to even more maneuvering and adjustment, and the result becomes more complicated than it is useful. Martin (Marian College) follows Lonergan and Pope John Paul II is understanding the function of Catholic social teaching as providing healing and a source of creativity that will produce an ethos resulting in an equitable economic system. Martin examines the economic anthropology inherent in such an approach, the force of healing and creativity in Lonergan's economic ethics, and the impact of Lonergan's thought on the development of Catholic social teaching.
