The message is seemingly clear ...
What is Catholic Social Teaching? Here's a basic introduction:

Jesus taught that hypocrisy is the counter to truthfulness, that we should walk the talk and practice what we preach. He preached this a lot!
In the 1971 synodal document entitled, "Justice in the World", notes that the social mission of the church is quite clearly stated as one grounded in action to liberate the human race from oppression ... "The Church, which is the sacrament of Christ, is called upon by missionary mandate to practice what it preaches about justice and rights." (Catholocism, P.3630)
As Pope John Paul II wrote:
"As far as the church is concerned, the social message of the Gospel must not be considered a theory, but above all else a basis and motivation for action." (Catholocism, P.3628).
