The Catholic Social Teaching (CST) Rome Exchange: Advanced Training Experience (CREATE) is the new initiative of the Faculty of Social Science (FASS) at the Pontifical University Saint Thomas Aquinas – Angelicum in Rome. Currently focused on Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), it provides ways for students and experts in Catholic social teaching (CST) to access resources and training in Rome, so as to develop their knowledge and their capability in using CST for resolving problems faced in their local reality.
Catholic social teaching Rome Exchange: Advanced Training Experience – starts from two basic ideas: (1) Catholic social thought is a powerful resource in the mission of the Church today, but often it needs to be more widely known and better operationalised in practical situations; (2) Rome is a centre for the development of Catholic social thought; by bringing students and experts to Rome for short or longer stays, we can help them to improve their knowledge of CST and practical skills in implementing it, while ensuring that they stay connected with their home region.
CREATE is an integrated set of 5 activities: Expert Council [EC]: a network of professors and experts from different Catholic Higher Education Institutions (CHEIs) in the region meeting once a year in Rome; CREATE Prize [CP]: an annual competition starting in 2021, for an original essay by a young researcher/student from the CEE on some application of CST to society; Salamanca Process Scholarships [SP]: doctorate scholarship and post-doc scholarships for Dominican candidates (sisters and brothers) from Central and Eastern Europe, as part of the Salamanca Process of the Dominican Order; Laudato si’ Scholarships [LS]: doctorate and post-doc scholarships for young people from the CEE region to develop their research in their home countries and institutions, with support from FASS professors. Laudato si’ scholars will come in Rome regularly over a 2-3-year period, in order to take advantage of the resources provided by the FASS and the central Catholic institutions in Rome. CST Toolkit Scholarships [TX]: a semester-long programme of courses in CST (January to June, starting in 2022) for CEE students at the masters or doctorate level.

Preface
Bruno Petrušić
The common good is one of the fundamental principles of Catholic social teaching that, at its core, demonstrates the depth and comprehensiveness of theological thought rooted in Revelation and grounded in Tradition. This principle stems from the dignity, unity, and equality of all persons. It is founded on and emanates from the so-called personalistic principle, as it views everything through the lens of the central role of the person – every and each person and the whole person. The Church defines it as “the sum of social conditions which allow people, either as groups or as individuals, to reach their fulfilment more fully and more easily” (GS 26) and in some way offers it to the world, or society and societies, which need to instrumentalize and concretize it. And because it concerns every person and the complete person, then every person, every human being is responsible (subsidiarity) for its realization which means that the realization of it must be open and accessible to all (solidarity).
When it comes to the concretization of this principle, politics and economics play a crucial role. Therefore, in this book, we present ideas, models, and opinions of people from various fields of social engagement, but all of whom share an authentic and sincere concern for the common good. And thanks to the blessings of technology, which we can also view through the lens of the common good, here I present quotes and introductory remarks compiled by the ChatGPT program, which almost poetically analyzes and records the interconnectedness of economics and politics with Catholic social teaching, and the intertwining and importance of the common good for a healthy social fabric:
As this book emerged as a result of my participation in the CREATE program at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the Angelicum, I would like to extend special thanks to the Dean of the Faculty, Sr. Helen Alford OP, for her unconditional support during the three years of my post-doc research. I would also like to thank all the members of the expert council of the CREATE program, Marina Russo for her availability and assistance with all administrative matters, as well as Valerio Pierleoni. Finally, I thank all those who participated in the two International Scientific Symposia held at the University of Split during 2022 and 2023, as this book is the result of our joint work and participation.
