The Catholic vision for an ideal society is centred on the implications of the faiths three distinctive belief, which is Most Holy Trinity, Jesus Divinity and Humanity and Jesus Death and Resurrection. This ideal society is based upon the belief in a Triune God, a God of love, for example Trinitarian love encourages us to have creative redemptive and sanctifying relationships. To be Alter-Christ, or Christ like by embarking on a threefold mission, which is to be a Priest, Prophet and King. Finally in an Ideal society we are to follow Jesus’ footsteps, spreading the word and leading by example. The Ideal vision for society is also centred on the belief that God created all humans in his image and likeness and therefore have inherent dignity that must be respected.…
Christianity today is a living tradition which requires contribution and commitment through adherents. It’s through Pope John XXIII a modern day Christian role model, he’s changes have impacted Christian adherents through modernising the church, which is considered “perhaps the greatest revolution of Catholicism of the modern era”. However through traditional practices such as ‘Sunday worship’ it allows adherents to show their faith towards God. It’s through here adherents learn of Christian ethic guidelines on issues in Bioethical teachings such as Organ donation and Euthanasia.…
The 1920s was a time of major surprising social changes in the United States. The social changes during this period were reflected in the laws and regulations that were brought into play during this time. Albert Einstein said, ¨Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.¨ This quote makes me believe that Prohibition did not succeed and it was a failure to society. I believe this because the ¨noble experiment¨ was undertaken to reduce crime and corruption, alcohol consumption was increased, there was overcrowded prison systems, and lack of public support during this time. The results of these reasons shows that Prohibition was a failure, and the Eighteenth Amendment hindered our society.…
It is of great amazement that there are over seven-thousand catholic schools in America. Catholic education dates back to as far as the year 1606. By the latter 1600's, English colonists had set up their own, publicly supported schools. Since all the colonies were overwhelmingly Protestant, the rudimentary education often had a heavily fundamentalist Protestant population. During the same period, Catholic education progressed in non-British America: In New Orleans, the Franciscans opened a school for boys in 1718. The Ursulines opened one for girls in 1727.…
Catholic Social Teachings have a significant impact on many charities, especially the Salvation Army. Solidarity is one of the main aspects of Catholic Social Teachings, as it brings people together and helps them to recognise that each individual is part of the one human family – regardless of ethnic, national, racial, gender, economic, political or ideological differences. The Common Good also has the same ideas: we can live life to its fullest when surrounded by our community. Preferential Option for the Poor, as well as Subsidiarity and Participation are also most important aspects of Catholic Social Teachings relating to the Salvation Army, as we are told it is the role of the people in power to look after the struggling, and the poor should receive just as much as we do. However, the main…

Throughout the history of Europe, people’s lives revolved around the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church taught its beliefs through the clergy and exercised its authority. In 1517, corruption, false teachings, and the challenging of Martin Luther led to a split that created the Protestant Church. During the Reformation, the Protestant belief in “sola scriptura” and “sola fides” was a major source of conflict with the Catholic teachings of a Church authority and salvation through good works.…
Both the Seven Themes Of Catholic Social Teaching (STOCST) and Michael Himes Video outlines the importance of human dignity. It is clear the expectation that God has for each of us.

Catholic Social Teaching is a social message or mission that consists of a set of Church doctrines and official documents that make up the underlying message of the Gospel and provide a framework for how Catholics should live their lives in response to the challenges of every day life in society. The mission of Catholic Social Teaching is derived from biblical values and expression of Christian tradition. The central teaching calls for a vision for all members whether rich or poor, to work to eliminate poverty and its effect. To strive for equal opportunity and for every human being to have equal opportunity to reach their full potential. The Catholic tradition calls for its members to speak out against inequality in order to shape a more caring society creating a more peaceful world.…
From the 24th to 26th of February 2011 a seminar entitled “Caritas in Veritate: The Logic of Gift and the Meaning of Business” was held at the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace (PCJP), in collaboration with the John A. Ryan Institute for Catholic Social Thought of the Center for Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas and the Ecophilos Foundation. The meeting followed the October 2010 conference “Caritas in Veritate and the USA”, which the PCJP held in partnership with the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies of Los Angeles, and continued its study of business organizations in light of Pope Benedict XVI’s social encyclical Caritas in Veritate. Underlying both meetings is the Church’s firm conviction that every Christian is called to practice charity in a manner corresponding to his vocation and according to the degree of influence he wields in the polis (CIV 7). ,…
The said encyclical was broken down into two main parts: humankind’s complete development and the common development of humankind. In the first part, the Pope explains that colonialism has led to technological advances but has often entailed self-seeking activities, missionary work has spread the Gospel through charitable activity but has also engaged in cultural imposition, and industrialization has led to economic growth but has encouraged the evils of unbridled liberalism as well as the neglect of moral and spiritual goods. In order to address these problems, Pope Paul VI wrote that the solution for this is a task of everyone. He said that everyone must lend a ready hand to help, especially those who have the capacity to give and those who can do most by reason of their office and authority.…
