    Gaudium et Spes
    Vatican II initiated a new way of thinking in the church producing sixteen
    documents, including Gaudium et Spes, which is considered to have the most
    authority in the Churches social teaching documents.
    It comes from the Latin word which means Joy and Hope.
    The Pastoral Constitution in the Modern World is English subtitle of this and it
    was one of the four Apostolic Constitutions, meaning the highest level of
    decree issued by the Pope, resulting from the Second Vatican Council.
    This was approved by a vote of 2,307 to 75 bishops assembled at the council
    and it was promulgated by Pope Paul VI on December 7, 1965.
    The Second Vatican Council resolutely addresses not only the sons of the
    Church and all who call upon the name of Christ, but the whole of humanity
    as well. Therefore, the world which the Council has in mind is the whole
    human family seen in the context of everything which envelopes it.
    This document is addressed to all human beings. Addressed to all people
    expressing the Churchs desire to dialogue with all the community. The
    human person is the point of contact between the concerns of the Church
    and those of the world.
    The document is divided into two parts. The first part lays out the Church and
    Mans calling. Here, it tries to understand the needs, events, and desires of
    the world. The second part addresses five areas of what it calls special
    urgency with five priorities of concern: Marriage and family, human culture,
    social-political and economic life, bonds among nations, and war and peace.
    Themes:
    A. PRIORITY OF CULTURE
    It is significant that the amount of energy John Paul II has put into the
    implementation of these themes corresponds precisely to the order they are
    found in Gaudium et Spes. Thus, he seems to favor family and cultural
    concerns over economic and political, sometimes even interpreting the latter
    in terms of their relation to the former.
    B. THE HIERARCHICAL UNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON, BODY AND SOUL
    One of the fundamental affirmations of Gaudium et Spes is the hierarchical
    unity of the human person, body and soul. A culture of lifes understanding of
    man is neither dualistic nor monistic. It does not separate mans spirit and
    mans body in such a way that Robert F. Gotcher 153 what happens to mans
    body is of no consequence to religion.
    C. CULTURAL ATTITUDES FOR A CULTURE OF LIFE

    Gaudium et Spes elaborates on some of the characteristics of a social life


    that guarantees the dignity of the human person, including not only
    principles but also their specific applications.
