We are living through an “omni-crisis, political, economic, spiritual, moral, and social disorder on every front. But Frank Wright argues Catholics should not despair. Pope Leo XIII diagnosed the roots of this crisis nearly 150 years ago in his 1878 encyclical Inscrutabili Dei Consilio, and the Church possesses both the spiritual and practical remedies.

Leo XIII described social disorder with striking precision: contempt for authority and law, civil conflict, materialism, forgetfulness of eternal things, misuse of public money, and political leaders who present themselves as champions of freedom while leading society toward ruin. These warnings read like today’s headlines.

The problems facing modern society ultimately flow from abandoning God, objective reality, legitimate authority, and the Catholic understanding of man and society. But Leo XIII’s Catholic social teaching offers a blueprint for ordering personal life, government, law, and economics according to God’s justice.
