ANSWERS
1. Lisa Sowie Cahill defines Catholic social teaching as a body of encyclicals written by popes beginning with Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum in 1891 and continuing through Pope Francis' Laudato Si' in 2015.
Because each person is created in God
's image and likeness, Catholic social thinking likewise emphasises the need of respecting and protecting each person's inherent worth and dignity. However, this emphasis must never take precedence over the pursuit of the common good.
Similarity
CST, however, also refers for Catholic Social Thought and Catholic Social Tradition. As a historical fact and progression, CST is predicated on, embraces, and encourages additional intellectual inquiry and refinement from theologians and other thinkers.

As the state became increasingly involved in the economy, discussions arose regarding its proper place in society.
Rerum Novarum was written in response to the conditions of the working people and the Church's place in society at the time. Pope Leo XIII advocated for measures to help the working classes, who he said were being negatively affected by things like low pay and unsafe working conditions, in the first issue. With regard to the second topic, the pope stated that the Church must help advance social justice and provide relief for the impoverished and oppressed.
3. Rerum Novarum, or On the Condition of Labor, were released by Pope Leo XIII in 1891. It continues to guide the Church's engagement with modern society.
