In this article the concept of dialogue will be related to its quite narrow meaning. It will be understood as the conversation of the Church’s representatives (i.e. John Paul II, Benedict XVI) about social exclusion. This dialogue will be conducted between the eternal truths of the Christian faith codified as the Holy Bible, the dogma’s of the Christian faith, of Christian ethics and the modern world, in which pathologic phenomena, occurrences of social injustice lead to social exclusion (an exclusion nowadays considered a category of public activity, including the problems of poverty, unemployment, homelessness, social inequity) of the people of various continents.
