Through these means the Church has provided society with a set of good morals and rules to live their life by. It has created a culture that works towards kindness, helping the poor, and advocacy for many different movements that help improve the world and ourselves.

The church has helped the poor in many different ways. We support many foundations and groups that help support the poor. Many Catholics go on mission trips also to help the poor. This is culture changing in my opinion and greatly helps our society. We continually help the poor in a hand full of different ways in order to keep peace and God in everyone's life, even if you don't have the funds to make ends meet.

The church influenced the art of Renaissance. The art was of the time was mainly about religion and God. For example, the Sistine chapel painted by Michaelangelo. He was asked by the pope at the time to paint the ceiling. He was reluctant to do it, but he did it and it turned out to be a masterpiece and one of the most famous pieces of art ever. Without the church's influence this work of art may have never been created. - Julian Paige

The Church has been influencing the music culture for years. Today's music can corrupt our mind and lead us away from God. The dangerous part is the music industry is one of the biggest influences on modern day culture. Everyone listens to music.The Christian and Catholic radio industry has worked to improve the radio environment and help us hear God's word through music. Christian artists like Casting Crowns and Third Day can help remind us who the center of our lives really is while making great music we can all enjoy. Purify your hearts while enjoying tunes? Heck yea. Matthew Stone

The Church has impacted social justice. Social justice is based on the concepts of human rights in the everyday lives of people. Service is something that is very important to the Church. Multiple churches have things such as soup kitchens to help the hungry. St. Vincent DePaul is also something that contributes to those in need. Another way the Church impacts social justice is protesting peacefully. For example, marching in the March for Life and protesting against abortions. Mileena

The Catholic Church has many teaching on the new controversial problems in today's society. Since the church teaches that every life is sacred life, they teach against all abortion and capital punishment and euthanasia of the elderly. They teach that no life deserves to be ended for any reason. Thousands of people die each year from these things and the church hope that one day they will be outlawed -Tim Anderson

The Church has always taught that you should treat others the way you would like to be treated. They give us a set of morals and teachings to guide us to be happy and live eternally with God in heaven. The Church has taught that helping others and treating others right is what God wants. We learn that there is no reason to be mean and harmful to others and it can only bring bad consequences. The Church also teaches us that when someone does harm to us, we are supposed to forgive them. No matter how bad they have hurt us. -Zack Clarke

The Catholic Church aims to protect the human rights and dignity of every individual. Missionaries focus on spreading the Word of God through the impoverished, because it is the Church's mission to serve the poor and vulnerable first. The Church must represent those that can't represent themselves. As Pope Francis stated, “Among our tasks as witnesses to the love of Christ is that of giving a voice to the cry of the poor.” Many organizations have formed all over the world to help those who are less fortunate, such as St. Vincent de Paul. There are also many people who focus their personal missions on attending to the needs of others, such as Mother Teresa. Helping the poor is extremely important, because it unites the Church and brings in new members.

Many phlosophers and scientist were Christians. They used their science to further educate and understand Gods mind. Science was born from Christianity, christianity was key to forming science. Many popular scientists such as Keppler, Newton, and more have all expressed that their faith have all played major roles in their science and research. Without Christianity and the church, science most likely would not have been developed.

The church has always been a helper when it comes to the homeless and the poor. An amazing example is mother Teresa. She gave up everything to go help the poor live a better life. The church teaches all of its members should help anyone in need. Many Catholics and church members have set up homeless shelters or started programs to help the poor. Matthias Kaylor

The church has positively impacted society by being universal. This universal culture allows anyone learn education about God through the music stations , bibles, church's, or even schools. I choose this topic because I can relate it not everyone grows up into a church , and as you get older you have your own opinion to think what you believe is right or wrong. As for me going to different types of schools or church's such as Baptist (church) to Seventh day Adventist to Catholic schools I understand everyone teaches things differently , but if you're look beyond that they both teach things that are similar.

Over the course of the time you are there they do activities to get closer with God and strengthen your faith. You get to know other Christians who have strong faith and a love for the same sport as you. Adam Graver

The Catholic Church teaches that its members are to help its brothers in faith, but now even non Catholics are participating daily in the assistance to those who truly need help. Many homeless shelters and foundations that are set up to help the poor were not begun by Catholics but by people who have seen what us Catholics have done and are now helping others because of the example we set. But not only is it foundations and organizations but there are truly good people out there who help people who just need a hand. Katie Zaremba

The church has positively influenced many artists, architects, musicians, and writers. Ever since the early ages many of the most influential artists have been creating pieces of work that are influenced by their strong Christian beliefs. For example Michaelangelo who created the statue down below. Many historic writers wrote based on their Christian beliefs for example Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare. As a student, we learn about many of the past influential figures in school. Whether it be in public or private school, the christianity mentioned when learning about he different historic artists opens other people to the Church.

The Church has posivitively impacted architecture in more ways than one. Through the successful models of churches, as well as other buildings that demonstrate the faith, the Church has influenced people to create an environment where people can share and spread their beliefs. The Church is meant to be an environment that is safe and by all means holy. Thus, in that standard, architects have the ability to fulfill those needs and create buildings for that purpose. In fact, people used to build Churches to be taller or on a hill to be closer to Heaven. Also, architecture can portray/demonstrate the idea of the Barque of Peter/Noah's Ark.
St. Peter's Basilica is a good example because it shows the grandiosity of the faith by being large.

The Church has done countless acts that have positively impacted our society. One example of this would be how the Church has helped put a stop to the death penalty. The church teaches us that Today the death penalty is inadmissible, no matter how serious the crime committed. The church spreads this message throughout and it already has made a difference. One example of it making a difference is when Nebraska was making the descion on stopping the death penalty or not, local Catholic Churches stepped up and vocalized how the death penalty should be stopped. They ended up making a huge impact on the choice to be made and the state no longer allows the death penalty. -Megan Burnett

The Catholic Church has contributed many ways through social justice. One specific example would be Option for the Poor and Vulnerable, where the Catholic Church holds food drives for the poor who can not provide for themselves. This picture is from Saint Matthew's church in North Carolina, where they gathered many canned goods for the poor. The church calls all of its members to provide for the poor and vulnerable, and a food drive is a great way to do it- Justin king

One way the Church has positively impacted society is because of social justice. Through the teachings of social justice, and the church, we know that everyone has human rights. God created all of us in his likeness and image, and so this represents our human rights given to us right from the start. We are also called to be prophets, and so we have a call to the community. We can participate in many different ways, such as providing for the poor. -Amy Doan

It is a Social Catholic Teaching to care for environment and to care for God's creations.

There would be no obligation to be moral without the Church teaching about what God wants for us. There would be no reason to. There would be no value on life since the Church wouldn't stress its importance. -Maria

The Church positively affected art because it gave artists more idea to create about. Religious icons became widespread popular because of art. The Church provided new ways to express oneself such as art. Many artists that painted religious things could often express their style of painting. Without the help of the Church, these ideas couldn't have been thought of and spread out. - Nicolas T

Rights and Responsibilities.

Preferential Option for and with People who are Poor.

Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers.
