WEEK 17:
Social Morality and Social Justice
Catechism
of the Catholic Church 1943:
“Society ensures social justice by providing
the conditions that allow associations and individuals to obtain their due.”
Catechism
of the Catholic Church 1944:
“Respect for the human person considers the
other "another self." It presupposes respect for the fundamental
rights that flow from the dignity intrinsic of the person.”
Catechism
of the Catholic Church 1948:
Solidarity
is an eminently Christian virtue. It practices the sharing of spiritual goods
even more than material ones.
MEDITATION: What do we mean when we say we are social
beings? What responsibility do we have
to participate in public
life?
“One must do all one can
for everybody, expecting no return save from God only.” -- St. John Vianney
