First sentence: The 1971 Synod of Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church introduced its reflections on the meaning of justice in world society with a statement that has stimulated animated discussion, provoked heated argument, and led to significant results: "Action on behalf of justice and participation in the transformation of the world fully appear to us as a constitutive dimension of the preaching of the gospel, or, in other words, of the Church's mission for the redemption of the human race and its liberation from every oppressive situation."
