The Puerto Rican: A Study of Short Term Services Rendered by the Family Service, Intake Division of Catholic Charities of New York to Fifty-Nine Recipients of or Applicants for Financial Assistance From the Department of Welfare, July-August, 1960
Abstract
Background of the Study. "Given firm unity in Christ, the family is adequate in any crisis, be it poverty, illness or environment." In a very direct and simple language His Eminence Francis Cardinal Spellman states the philosophy behind all thinking of the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York. When we speak about society in general we mean the human race, all the families within the community, for humanity is a society permanently bonded by the common nature of its members and tending, by the use of means available to all, the common end which is objectively, God, and subjectively, eternal happiness. Man is social by nature. Human society is therefore a natural institution, or, more properly, an institution of God, the author of human nature. Man cannot exist without others. Not only does a man need parents in order to be born, but he needs the care of others for a very long time after birth. He needs the guidance and control of mature minds.
