In 1891 Pope Leo XIII wrote an encyclical, or letter addresed to the world (through the bishops), defending the rights of the working man, especially his right to organize labor unions. This happened at a time when working men were trying to obtain a balance of power with their employers. The encyclical took a middle ground between unregulated capitalism on one side and socialism (the government controlling the means of production) on the other side. Encyclicals are identified by the first two or three words of the Latin text, but it is hard to translate these two words without finding the whole first sentence in Latin and in an English translation. (I don't have the text at hand.)
