Excerpt from The Church and Labor
The explanation of this apparent contradiction, the recon ciliation of originality with traditionalism in the social doc trines of Ozanam and Ketteler, is very simple. In Catholic tradition they found, indeed, no specific discussion of the capitalist system or its constituent elements, but they did find therein the general moral principles pertinent to all forms of industrial organization. Their task was to apply these to the new industrial order. The principles were old and tra ditional because they were derived from the Decalogue and the natural law. The application was new and original because the system of industry and industrial relations had been in existence for only half a century.
