A „közjó” koncepciója és annak missziológiai megközelítése mint egy fenntartható fejlődési vízió alapja

This paper outlines a theoretical framework that can serve as a basis for church practice in building a sustainable development vision. It begins with a conceptual clarification, exploring the concepts of sustainable development, catholic social teaching, and vision to enhance the subsequent analysis. The concept of the common good is then used to examine documents that are part of the catholic social teaching. The paper outline three approaches to the common good: the socio-economic common good, the universal common good, and the holistic common good, which are understood as interdependent rather than separate. Along these lines, it identifies the following key features of the concept of the common good: human-centric (focusing on the human being as a multidimensional person capable of transcending themself), subsidiarity, solidarity, fair distribution of goods, recognition of the value of all creation, and ecological conversion. Finally, the paper places all this into a missiological perspective, emphasizing that the Church’s mission from God involves making the love of caring and healing God tangible in the word, particularly in the context of the ecological crisis. With this in mind, the paper concludes with aspects that may help shape a vision of sustainable development for church practice.
