Truth
 
"Without truth, without trust and love for what is true, there is no social conscience and responsibility, and social action ends up serving private interests and the logic of power, resulting in social fragmentation."  Without truth, deeds (no matter how well-intentioned) will be "blind"," and without love, knowledge of the truth will be "sterile". 
Caritas in Veritate, Charity in Truth, Pope Benedict XVI, June 7, 2009
