What kind services does the Catholic Church offer to build up the society apart from spiritual development?

Answer 1

Primarily the Catholic Church, as the Mystical Body of Christ, is here to facilitate spiritual development in its members. However, the way in which we will be judged at the end of our lives is dependent upon how we lived our life (see St. Matthew 25:32-46). The Catholic Church has always been in the forefront of providing these kinds of service, ever since early Roman times when Tertullian said: "Look," they say, "how they love one another and how they are ready to die for each other" in the early 3rd century, and how Catholics rescued babies that had been exposed to die. Since that time, the Church has always specialized in orphanages, the early monks started public education and what has grown into universities in the late Middle Ages. The Church, for nearly 20 centuries has been the largest provider of food and help to the poor. She has opened and run hospitals, asylums, homes for all kinds of displaced persons. Nearly all modern charity, in one form or another, can be traced back to the Catholic Church.
