Editing Christian left (section)

=== Christians and workers ===
To a significant degree, the Christian left developed out of the experiences of clergy who went to do pastoral work among the working class, often beginning without any social philosophy but simply a pastoral and evangelistic concern for workers. This was particularly true among the Methodists and Anglo-Catholics in England, Father [[Adolph Kolping]] in Germany and [[Joseph Cardijn]] in Belgium.<ref>''Index ac status causarum beatificationis servorum dei et canonizationis beatorum'' (in Latin).
