About us

Welcome at ORDO SOCIALIS, Academic Association for the Promotion of Christian Social Teaching

This association was founded in 1985 as a result of the international congress in Rome: “Church and Economy in the Responsibility for the Future of a Global World”. It is a subsidiary of BKU (Association of Catholic Entrepreneurs) and based in Cologne, Germany. Authors from theory and practice as well as members and supporters have come together in Ordo socialis, in order to promote broad public awareness of Christian social teaching by providing a clearinghouse for pivotal articles in this area. Here you will find the most important publications of our authors, free of charge.

“ORDO SOCIALIS” (Latin for: social order) is a leading concept for Christian social teaching.

Under this title a number of important publications have been published. The fundamental rules of human social life on a personal, national and international level are always the focus. Ordo socialis has clear positioned relative to other social teachings, Marxism in particular. Much of the work published here derives from Natural Law and from experience and thinking chiefly in the Occidential-christian area. Important works can be downloaded under: www.ordosocialis.de/publications
