[1] Pope Benedict XVI (2005) Encyclical: “Deus Caritas Est” (Chapter 24): "The charitable organizations of the Church, on the other hand, constitute an opus proprium, a task that she has in her blood, in which she does not cooperate sideways, but acts as a directly responsible subject, doing what corresponds to her nature. The Church can never be discharged from the exercise of charity as an organized activity of the believers, and, on the other hand, there will never be a situation in which the love of every Christian would not be needed, because the human beign, beyond justice, has and will always has a need for love... the charitable action may and must embrace all people and all needs."
