What does rerum novarum mean?
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.)

What is the Catholic Church's view on child labor?
The first mention of child labor by the Church was during the Industrial Revolution. In 1891, Pope Leo XIII wrote the encyclical letter "Rerum Novarum" which addressed many of the problems arising from the new relationships between business owners and their workers. On child labor, (which wasn't the main thrust of the document) there was only one small remark: …in regard to children, great care should be taken not to place them in workshops and factories until their bodies and minds are sufficiently developed. For, just as very rough weather destroys the buds of spring, so does too early an experience of life's hard toil blight the young promise of a child's faculties, and render any true education impossible. - Rerum Novarum, § 42 Much has been written since then. It is my intention to provide a fuller answer to this question as time permits, but for now I will refer the reader to the following link below (COMPENDIUM OF THE SOCIAL DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH).
