    The document discusses the mission of the church and the cycle of Christian praxis. The mission of the church is to continue the mission of Christ as priest, prophet, and king by proclaiming justice, denouncing injustice, and not remaining deaf to victims of oppression. The cycle of Christian praxis involves four steps - experience, social analysis, theological reflection, and planning/action. Social analysis examines the objective and subjective dimensions of reality to understand situations fully and transform injustices by examining their roots. Theological reflection involves reflecting on social teachings of the church derived from papal pronouncements, councils, and other sources to apply faith to social issues.
