  10. 4. Option for Poor and Vulnerable • Needs of poor first • Help by being partners with the poor and take on their problems, not take advantage of them • Help to change the injustice that makes them poor

  11. 5.

Fair pay, safe workplace, form unions, etc.)

  12. 6. Solidarity • Based on Spirit of Friendship • We are all part of the same human family regardless of divisions

  13. 7. Care for God’s Creation • Based on Genesis (creation story) • World of interdependence – people, animals, elements • Care for Earth because it is God’s creation • Beauty of Earth reveals the nature of God to us

  14. The Church in the World (page 44-45 in your textbook) Read “What is Catholic Social Teaching?” and answer the following questions in your Journal: • What is Catholic Social Teaching? • What is the mission that Jesus passed on to the Apostles and to us? • How does the Church describe its mission? • Why does the Church need special teaching to guide action for justice? • In your opinion, who are the most influential ‘teachers’ of society in the world today? What message do they bring to the world? (This can be anyone that you can think of. I might not have ever heard of them, so make sure you describe them to be – what they do, what they say, etc.)
