EXPERIENCE

First introduced and used as “Pastoral Circle” by Holland and Henriot in the booklet “Social Analysis” in 1980 later revised and republished as “Social Analysis: Linking Faith and Justice” in 1983.

“There are three stages which should normally be followed in the reduction of social principles into practice. First, one reviews the concrete situation; secondly, one forms a judgment on it in the light of these same principles; thirdly, one decides what in the circumstances can and should be done to implement these principles. These are the three stages that are usually expressed in the

three terms: Observe, Judge, Act.”

– #263 Mater et Magistra

Pope John XXIII, 1961

Vatican II’s “Reading the Signs of the

Times” and “Observe-Judge-Act” (1961)
