Catholic Action. Organized religious activity, especially of a social, educational or quasi-political kind, on the part of the RC laity. In 1922 Pius XI encouraged the creation of flexible organizations for the purpose under the direction of the clergy. Later Papal pronouncements have insisted more on the vocation of every member of the Church to spread the Kingdom of God on earth.
