The option for the poor, or the preferential option for the poor, is a Catholic social teaching that the Bible gives priority to the well-being of the poor and powerless. It was first articulated by the proponents of Latin American liberation theology during the latter half of the 20th century, and was championed by many Latin American Christian democratic parties. It is also a theological emphasis in Methodism. Theological significance The "preferential option for the poor" refers to a trend throughout the Bible, of priority being given to the well-being of the poor and powerless of society in the teachings and commands of God as well as the prophets and other righteous people.

Matthew 25:40. This is reflected in Catholic canon law, which states, " he Christian Faithfulare also obl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
