Non-metaphysical social ethics, which wishes to suppress an identification of the Humanum and the dignity of alternate human self-defining processes, challenges an ecumenically profiled answer to the question of justification and content of the highest value of an ethics of order. Questions of bioethics, of a just war, about an equitable division of scarce resources, amongst others, are to this end to be answered against a boundless liberality or collectivism on the basis of a common human idea of Christianity. An ecumenically profiled view first of all invites inter-confessional dialogue. On the other hand in the tradition proposed by Erasmus and Melanchthon and the understanding of Caritas of Pope Benedikt XVI., as well as a new-protestant yes to the salvation relevance of social ethics, we can strengthen ecumenical economic and social ethics as normative humanism in the sense of A. Ricb against current non-Christian challenges.
