| Summary: | The purpose of Pope John Paul's encyclicalCentesimus Annus (CA) is to propound the foundations of a “just economic order” and to sketch its essential characteristics.

This article first reviews the principal components of CA and then analyzes and evaluates its central contentions on both cultural and economic grounds. |
