A Summary on the Laity in Gaudium et Spes
PAGE 9 GS 73-76
The Council teaches that Christians should be active in public life — not to impose faith, but to bring justice, peace, and respect for human dignity.
This includes:
voting with conscience,
participating in community life,
promoting fairness,
defending the vulnerable,
and helping build a society that reflects God’s love.
Your apostolate is not limited to private life.
It extends into the public square.
