From the Paper:

"Also the Catholic Social teachings present the two principles of a call to family, community and participation and rights and responsibilities associated with human dignity (Themes of Catholic Social Teaching). The first principle asserts that people have a right and a responsibility to contribute to society, pursuing the common good and well-being of all, particularly those that are poor and vulnerable (Themes of Catholic Social Teaching). As it pertains to Christian business, this principle should influence business owners to encourage employees to get involved in the community. For their part Christian businesses could offer a certain amount of paid leave so that employees can volunteer. "
