"The Church has no intention of getting involved in politics, nor does she aspire to participate in the administration of temporal affairs. Her specific contribution will be that of strengthening the spiritual and moral foundation of society, making it possible that all activity in the area of the common good take place in conformity and in tune with the directives and requirements of human and Christian ethics."
