By claiming authenticity, comprehensiveness and authority, the Catholic Church has been able to provide for itself a vast social realm in today's world. What is the church's approach to promoting social justice, and how effective can this approach be? The purpose of this paper is to find the positive and negative dimensions of the Catholic Church's approach to the promotion of social justice through an analytical evaluation. Using descriptive-analytical method, the present paper introduces and evaluates the Catholic approach in this area and proves that the necessity of promoting social justice in Catholic Christianity has been taken into account and the Catholic tradition, especially from the Second Vatican Council, has taken positive steps to help the establishment of social justice. However, the existence of some challenges and the lack of clear instructions in this Christian sect for putting up a practical fight against social oppression have made it difficult to provide a coherent and successful system for achieving social justice.
