In Centesimus Annus, he designates solidarity as «one
of the fundamental principles
of the Christian view
of social and political organization,» tracing it back to Leo XIII's notion
of civic friendship as the
enduring bond that unites the often antagonistic relations
of labor and capital in modern society, through Pius XI's concept
of social charity and Paul VI's evocative phrase «civilization
of love.»
This is a very raw and revealing look into the private lives
of a family falling apart, pitting sides against one another in ways that contradict their
bonds of love, until they find they must all protect themselves to avoid
enduring anymore pain and suffering.
