Excerpt from The Social Mission of Charity: A Study of Points of View in Catholic Charities The scope of this volume limits its contents to a discussion of general points of view in Catholic charities. On this account neither methods nor problems are treated in any detail. The plans of the Department of Social Action of the National Catholic Welfare Council provide for a number of volumes relating to practical aspects of charities. They will appear as circumstances permit. Special bibliographies on problems and agencies are reserved to them. Since the social facts dealt with in a general way are beyond dispute, although interpretations vary, it did not seem necessary to weight the pages with extensive literary references. The author has endeavored to confine his interpretations to forms which may invite but little disagreement. Exposition rather than argument was aimed at throughout in the hope of making general appeal for thorough understanding of the wider mission of Charity in social life.

From their earliest days in America, Catholics organized to initiate and support charitable activities. A rapidly growing church community, although marked by widening church and ethnic differences, developed the extensive network of orphanages, hospitals, schools, and social agencies that came to represent the Catholic way of giving. But changing economic, political, and social conditions have often provoked sharp debate within the church about the obligation to give, priorities in giving, appropriate organization of religious charity, and the locus of authority over philanthropic resources. This first history of Catholic philanthropy in the United States chronicles the rich tradition of the church's charitable activities and the increasing tension between centralized control of giving and democratic participation.
