Property may be owned by a single individual, yet it is ultimately owned by God. Where all of the land should be available to all of humanity. Despite our social status, we are all bonded by being apart of the same human community. The Catholic social teachings showed the divide private owners were causing on the rest of society. Where a wealthy owner of fertile farmland might be thriving, yet on the other side of their land there are starving peasants. This section brings up Marxist ideas in that, these private landowners are so driven by profit, that they would never voluntarily give up their land. This then lead to expropriation, an unjust acquisition of land from previous owners. Where people are exploiting natural law, because as humans we are all reliant on aspects of industrial production. These industries contain all the electricity and power, yet not all people are being supplied by these entities.
The church’s ideals based on labor make the formation of unions to be a human right. Where as humans we are entitled to band together and organize unions, to have fair and equal working conditions.
