  1. Title: Abortion/Bioethics LO: Where does the Church gather it’s opinions from?

  2. Quick catch up • How were your breaks? • Anyone get up to anything interesting? (Watching the royal wedding is NOT interesting) • Did we look through our books that I took the time to make for each and every one of you? • Why didn’t the first XV win by 50?

  3. Tradition • The record of the believing community. What is passed on to the current community from the ancestors in faith starting with the apostles and those who have succeeded them. • Creeds. • Decrees of Church councils. • Treatises. (formal writing) • Theological works of scholars.

  4. The Magisterium • The teaching body of the Church carried out by the Pope and the Bishops that comes to them from Jesus. • Papal Encyclicals, Pastoral letters from Bishops,

  5. Papal Encyclicals A Papal Encyclical is the name typically given to a letter written by a Pope to a particular audience of Bishops. Encyclicals: • HumanaeVitae (On Human Life) July 25, 1968 [Encyclical] of Pope Paul VI • Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life) March 25, 1995 of Pope John-Paul II

  6. Abortion justified for ‘better babies’ • What do we think of James Watsons assertion that abortion would make for better babies? • What about the idea of bringing babies into poor living environments/standards/conditions • Personal story (Not what you think!)

  7. The Human Soul • What do we think the human soul is? • The Soul is the spiritual principle of the human person. • The Catechism (official teachings of the church) describes the soul as: "the innermost aspect of humans, that which is of greatest value in them, that by which they are most especially in God's image: 'soul' signifies the spiritual principle in man.“ "is immortal: It does not perish when it separates from the body at death, and it will be reunited with the body at the final Resurrection" (CCC 366).
