  2. Poverty • SCV.03 identify the role of Scripture in ethical and moral decision-making; • PFV.01 describe the role of the Church as an institution empowered by the Holy Spirit and charged with the responsibility of the moral and ethical formation of her people; • PFV.03 explore ways Church teaching can help people understand contemporary ethical and moral issues as part of the discernment process. • CMV.03 apply a contemporary understanding of conscience to the process of conscience formation and moral decision-making; • CMV.05 apply Church teaching to contemporary ethical and moral issues. • PSV.02 define the broad meaning of the term “vocation” as an adoption of a stance before all forms of work as service to God and for others; • FLV.03 apply related Church teaching to values and practices that promote or undermine relationships and the sacredness of life. • We will describe the interdependence of poverty, participation, rights, work, and solidarity by applying them to contemporary issues.

  3. Poverty • Poverty is often characterized by a lack of financial resources. This definition is subjective and relative to the community in which the person lives (i.e., a person in Toronto requires a higher income than someone in North Bay in order to maintain a similar standard of living). • Poverty is better described as a lack of the basic conditions required to live a full and dignified life. This definition goes beyond personal resources and encompasses a much broader scope of need, considering both material and spiritual conditions.

  4. Poverty Material Spiritual • Food • Clothing • Shelter • Health Care • Rest • Financial security • Education • Dignity • Self-worth • Love • Safety • Voice and Choice

  5. Poverty • The conditions which foster poverty are often intertwined so that the material needs prompt spiritual needs and vice-versa. Similarly, improving the conditions of one type, can lead to an improvement in the other type. • In this way, community, rights & responsibilities, the poor & vulnerable, work, and solidarity are all interdependent in the pursuit of human dignity.
