Laurent's social message: Christian charity
Jean-Théodore Laurent1847
Chambre des Députés, Grand-Duché de Luxembourg
Luxembourg, Luxembourg
With the pastoral letter on charity (1847), Laurent responds not only to the acute social distress but also to the state welfare law of 1846. He criticizes it for causing the poor to perceive charity not as a gift but as their right and entitlement, and thus not to express gratitude for it.
