Pope Leo XIII : Rerum Novarum
Subtitle - Encyclical of Pope Leo XIII on Capital and Labor.
This is the link to the Encyclical as a primary source.
California Catholic Conference (CCC) : Rerum Novarum (Of new things)
Highlights the point of view of the church on matters of respect for life and human dignity, the protection of rights for both workers and employers. (There is also reference to Pope John Paul the II on Laborem Excercens - On Human Work). Footnotes in the article link directly to the Rerum Novarum.
California Catholic Conference (CCC) : The dignity and rights of workers
Relates more closely to why religion responded to these particular issues.
The Pope and the working man’s paradise: Rerum Novarum at 130
Listen to a podcast, broadcasted in 2021, 130 years since the Rerum Novarum encyclical, on the rights and duties of capital and labour, was written by Pope Leo XIII. (53:57 mins). From the article's introduction, "the encyclical was a controversial document, even in 1891, and it had a big influence here in Australia".
Office for Justice, Ecology and Peace : 1891: Leo XIII’s encyclical Rerum Novarum (On the condition of the working classes)
Whilst this promotes an event already held, the website still has an explanation of what Rerum Novarum was and links it to art, music and prayer.
New Catholic Encyclopedia : Rerum Novarum
Of interest is the second paragraph which describes the five parts of the encyclical Rerum Novarum.
