Introduction
The work Social Catechism (CSC) was published in February 1898, with the aim of providing formation in social morality - a theme already addressed in other works, such as the Christian Social Manual - but here presented in a new format and aimed at a different audience.
Most of the work is, in fact, a catechism with questions and answers—a unique genre in Father Dehon's literary production—highlighting his commitment to reaching new audiences.
