“Every economic…action must set about providing each inhabitant of the planet with the minimum wherewithal to live in dignity and freedom, with the possibility of supporting a family, educating children, praising God and developing one’s own human potential.” – Pope Francis
RESUME
Each of us is called to do our part as consumers to ensure that the economy works for everyone. Pope
Benedict XVI reminds us that, “It is good for people to realize that purchasing is always a moral – and not
simply economic – act. Hence the consumer has a specific social responsibility, which goes hand-in-hand with the
social responsibility of the enterprise.” (Caritas in Veritate) He goes on to say that our daily consumer
roles “can be exercised with respect for moral principles without diminishing the intrinsic economic rationality
of the act of purchasing.” Fair Trade creates opportunities for us to respond to this call in a small but
significant way every day through the choices we make as consumers. When we make the conscious choice to
purchase Fair Trade items, we are putting the values of Catholic social teaching into action, and working to
realize our vision of economic justice. The resources below can help you explore how Catholic social teaching
relates to fair trade in more detail.
