- Abstract
The Author lists Cardinal Pietro Pavan (1903-1994) among the most important figures within the Catholic social movement of the twentieth century, most of all because of his noteworthy contribution to the preparation and development of the "evangelization of the social sphere", for which he should be defined as a "Father of the Church". In addition to collaborating in the preparation of numerous social documents -- from John XXIII's Mater et Magistra to Paul VI's Populorum Progressio -- Pavan proposed a social doctrine for the Church understood as discernment and as prophecy, that is, as the capacity to discern in the world the signs of the times and to interpret them in the light of the Gospel. In addition, during the Second Vatican Council Pavan proposed human dignity -- that is, its being capax veri, boni et Dei -- as the foundation for religious liberty. Finally, Pavan manifested constant attention to the christifideles laici, whose activity he thought should be directed at incarnating Chritian values in social institutions with the aim of ordering the world to Christ.
