With her social doctrine not only does the

Church not stray from her mission but she is

rigorously faithful to it. The redemption wrought by

Christ and entrusted to the saving mission of the

Church is certainly of the supernatural order. The

dimension is not a delimitation of salvation but rather

an integral expression of it. The supernatural is not tobe understood as an entity or place that begins where

the natural ends, but as the raising of the natural to a

higher plane. In this way nothing of the created or the

human order is foreign to or excluded from the

supernatural or theological order of the faith and

grace, rather it is found within it, taken on and

elevated by it. (cst !"#
