  • reverence for life
  • treatment of the marginalized
  • social sin.

[DHP, CH]

Indicators for this outcome
(a)

Discuss effects, culpability and individual responsibility resulting from:

  • original sin (i.e., Adam and Eve)
  • personal sin (i.e., actual sin)
  • social sin (i.e., structures of sin).
(b)

Contrast Catholic teachings on reverence for life, treatment of the marginalized and social sin with moral relativist examples.

(c)

Use scripture to support understanding and application of Catholic social teachings on reverence for life, treatment of the marginalized and social sin.

(d)

Use the experiences of Mary to deepen understanding of Catholic social teachings regarding issues such as:

  • reverence for life (e.g., "yes" to the angel Gabriel, mourning of Jesus)
  • treatment of the marginalized (e.g., Mary as widow, as refugee, as homeless, as poor)
  • social sin (e.g., Mary living in a male-dominated society).
(e)

Explain how Scripture and Church teachings influence personal views on:

  • life issues (e.g., abortion, euthanasia, palliative care, Dr. assisted-suicide, suicide, capital punishment)
  • the treatment of the marginalized (e.g., the poor, elderly, disabled, those suffering from discrimination, human trafficking)
  • social sin within contemporary society (e.g., pornography, prostitution, gambling).
(f)

Examine the cause and effects of various poverties (e.g., economic, relational, spiritual) in the world and how the Catholic community seeks to address them.

(g)

Analyze and discuss how a person's views might be challenged when presented with Church teaching regarding the 'Preferential Option for the Poor' supported in Scripture and Tradition such as:

  • Ex. 22:20-26, Is. 58: 5-7, Mt. 25:34-40, Lk. 4:16-21
  • Pope Paul VI's encyclical Populorum Progressio #23, Pope John Paul II's encyclical Centesimus Annus #58.
(h)

Discuss the marginalization of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples of Canada through topics such as:

  • the Truth and Reconciliation process and Calls to Action
  • Jordan's Principle (e.g., First Nations and Métis children disadvantaged due to conflicts involving federal and provincial bureaucracy)
  • treaties that remain unfulfilled.
(i)

Apply to societal issues such as sanctity of life, marginalization and social sin the five steps of effective social action identified by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops:

  • Be present to the poor.
  • Develop understanding of the causes of suffering.
  • Judge the situation in light of Gospel values and Church teaching.
  • Think and act creatively, guided by the vision of the kingdom of God.
  • Act together (in solidarity) to transform unjust situations.
