4. Joseph Ratzinger, “Eucharist, Communion, and Solidarity,” 75: “The understanding of the concept of solidarity …hasbeen slowly transformed and Christianized, so that now we can justly place it next to the two key Christian words Eucharist and Communion. Solidarity in this context signifies people who feel responsible for one another, the healthy for the sick, the rich for the poor, the countries of the North for those of the South.”

5. See, for example, Robert Royal’s criticism of Populorum Progressio on stylistic, moral, and economic grounds in A Century of Catholic Social Thought (Washington, D.C.: Ethics and Public Policy Center, 1991): 115-30. Mary E. Hobgood, Catholic Social Teaching and Economic Theory (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1991): 147-54, takes a more sympathetic view but sees Paul VI backing away, in later writings, from some of the more leftist claims of Populorum Progressio.
