"The life and dignity of every person must be respected and protected at every stage and in every condition. The right to life is the first and most fundamental principle of human rights that leads Catholics to actively work for a world of greater respect for human life and greater commitment to justice and peace." (USCCB) Human dignity is a right that we all are given as people created in the image and likeness of God and that right cannot be taken away. The catechism of the Catholic Church states," Respect for the human person entails respect for the rights that flow from his dignity as a creature." ]]> 2017-02-10 16:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/153109289 mmitoraj https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154501844 2017-02-17 01:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154501844 mmitoraj https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154501922 2017-02-17 01:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154501922 jbaldys https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154505035 2017-02-17 02:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154505035 jbaldys https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154506163 The Church's definition of human dignity connects to the principle of Solidarity in Catholic Social Teaching because, without Solidarity, we are unable to work together for a better world.  Solidarity allows for us to work for "The Common Good" of all peoples and "to commit oneself to the... good of all and of each individual, because we really are responsible for all" (On Social Concern, 38).  ]]> 2017-02-17 02:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154506163 jbaldys https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154506530 The Common Good ensures that all human beings work together for the respect and dignity of all of God's Children, despite political, economic, social, racial, religious, or ideological differences.  The common good helps to simplify Catholic Social Teaching- if we work only for ourselves, we are not keeping in mind the needs of the community around us, thus not giving them the human dignity they are entitled to- the strong and richer members of society must take "moral responsibility" to help the poor and vulnerable" (Catholic Social Teaching: Christian Life in Society)]]> 2017-02-17 02:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154506530 jbaldys https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154507255 2017-02-17 02:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154507255 jbaldys https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154507419 "economically weaker nations are able to make their own contribution to the public good through the treasure of their culture" (On Social Concern, 39)]]> 2017-02-17 02:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154507419 jbaldys https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154507718 2017-02-17 02:40:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154507718 jbaldys https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154508702 2017-02-17 02:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mmitoraj/qo874ebheli3/wish/154508702
