| Resumo: | Beatus Marcelo Spínola y Maestre (1835-1906) was from the very beginning deeply concerned about social problems, making a clear distinction between charity and social justice, in line with the social proposals of Leo XIII as expressed in Rerum Novarum(1891). In his various writings as bishop (of Coria-Cáceres, Malaga and Seville between 1881 and 1906) he expressed his thoughts on the need to study social problems. Questioning the fact that relations between workers and the owners of capital were regulated solely by the law of supply and demand (which the liberal individualism of the time de-fended), he denounced the accumulation of wealth beyond what was fair in the hands of a few. Moreover, he did not give it any usefulness in achieving an equitable distribution of wealth, since this resulted in a socially oppressed worker who had no other option but to rebel against those who held economic and political power (as promoted by socialism). Between the two models, the Church’s proposal had to find its way. Faithful to this approach, along with the implementation in his dioceses of the instruments put forward by Count Mun and Fr. Vicent, which were the ones in vogue, he also set in motion other in-itiatives to foresee evil and prevent its consequences. |
