Ecclesial charitable organizations and regulations in the social field

Abstract: We feel that despite the many commonalities, there is a difference between professional social work, professional spiritual social work imbued with spirituality, and religion-led professional social work.
We also know that in the process of social service we have to deal separately with the expectations and norms related to clients, social workers and institutions. These differences are well delineated if we examine the activities, - be it the work of the social worker, the establishment of the institution, or the client's expectation. We can see that those activities are primarily determined by the norms and values: law, morality or religion. Of course, in the rarest cases, they are only regulated by one or the other set of norms. In fact, their relationships are dominant, but it doesn’t matter which one is in the foreground.
Instead of simple answers, think of a complex network of regulatory relationships. Religions can play an important role in this network of norms.
