The Catholic Social Teaching taught me the morals of which God created human beings to have. God created human beings to be in a loving, harmonious relationship with one another and himself. This principle is the basis of my entire decision for my Christian Service Project idea. The fact that God wanted us to be loving down to the very core inspired me to show others that their neighbors are kind by helping them provide for their families. This project is truly one of my favorite things about the Church, in that it organizes the most beautiful ways to be social and give

Social justice is the fair and just relations between society and a person, including laws, basic human needs and morals. Islam and catholic teachings both contribute to modern society through teachings and principles. Catholic teachings of social justice are represented in the six social teachings and they are dignity of the human person, option for the poor, stewardship of God’s creation, global solidarity and development, participation and peace and disarmament Catholic beliefs about social justice is a main part of the religion, as most teachings include nonviolence and a basic principle of never see a need without doing something about it, most of these principles are taught by Jesus but are also seen in the ten commandments from the bible.

In the Christian community, every single person plays an important role in making the community as safe and caring as possible. One of the most vital beliefs of a Christian is that we are all equal, so we when we are called to serve and help each other, we should obey. This call, although we may hear it at different times and see it in different ways, the call comes to everyone. We may have different understanding of the call, or we may even conflicting ideas of how to answer this call, but in the end, every single idea is important.

As a result, the work for social justice is an integral mission of the Church. Catholics are inspired and sustained through work for a just society.

The Christian worldview holds that one is to honor God by serving others. The scriptures in the Bible teach Christians to act out of kindness, to give unto others, and to treat others as they would like to be treated. Acts 20:35 “In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive’”

For majority of Americans, religion is a stable in their lives. Most people were raised in the church and continue attending church and participating in religious services. Although there are numerous religions with different perspectives of God, the afterlife, and moral truths, many of them share in asking its followers to consider the least among them and try to help their neighbor. One of the core teachings from the Christian doctrine is that it is the Christian duty to help others and treat others the same as one would treat Jesus; however, this message is often ignored when religion becomes more commercialized and political distancing the church and its followers from the doctrine Jesus taught.

According to Wolf, a moral saint is essentially someone “whose every action is as good as possible, a person, that is, who is as morally worthy as can be’. In order to reach moral perfection, she argues, their lives are committed to “ improving the welfare of others or of society as a whole’. Wolf established the image of two types of saint, the Loving Sait and the Rational Saint. The Loving Saint, supposedly established on the traits of the utilitarian ideas, devotes their ‘own happiness in the happiness of others, and so he would devote himself to others gladly, with a whole and open heart’. The Rational Saint on the other hand, has the same ingredients to happiness as most of us, finds pleasure in material goods, but out of duty, sacrifices personal interest for the interest of others.

The instinctive nature of humans to judge one another and the natural instinct to socialize will always play a role in making sure society is made up of all people either deviant or virtuous. Socialization and the power to control, or deviate outside a particular group norm, will always ensure a ‘society of saints’ is not an achievable goal.

Racism is a persistent issue directly threatening the values and teachings of Catholic theology and humanities advancement towards unity and peace. A destructive ideology such as racism debunks the entire foundation from which Catholicism is built. Catholicism follows the life and teachings of Jesus and the idea of solidarity, one of seven principals of Catholic Social Teaching; preaching for a single human family despite any national, racial, ethnic, economic, or ideological differences. Accepting or remaining silent when presented with an act of racial discrimination is equally as damaging as committing the act itself, as it contributes to an environment tolerant of racial prejudices. The Catholic church and its followers have a duty to acknowledge racism to its fullest extent and provide resolution. Through a collective stance against racism between the Catholic establishment and society while simultaneously providing education on the issue with realistic solutions, a progressed cultural environment can ultimately be developed that is reluctant to condone racism and all associated ideologies, utilizing peace, unity, and Catholic values as its foundational core.

Jesus Christ sought to improve the individual, the component of society, and as result, his teaching ideally aims to advance the well-being of society as a whole. The four Gospels and the book of Acts thoroughly demonstrate the extensive sociological knowledge that was present in Jesus’ teaching. His message facilitates personal reform, rather than change in the social structure alone. Although Jesus establishes the church as a social institution, he does so, only after a number of individuals become his followers.

Common grace is simply the requisite or basal amount of grace that constrains the world from rampant moral entropy, it is incapable of reconciling God and man. In praxis, common grace is executed by God through governmental institutions, businesses and our congenital consciences. In addition to impeding the acrimony of sin, it also protects what little measure of good remains in the world. This result is effectuated by affording unbelievers with the sporadic ability to exhibit attributes consonant with God’s various dictums, benefitting themselves and society at large. The benefits of following God’s morality is an operant behavior; just dealings generally yield better compensation. Thus, the principle of “reaping and sowing” is undergirded, dovetailing into the hypothesis that free market remuneration supports the moral order of common

Religion is a major foundation for many cultures. It is present all over the world in many different shapes and forms. But all religions have one thing in common, communality. Naturally, with rituals such as congregation people of religion are brought together. This community worships together, but this relationship extends further than the confines of a church. Members of the same church, or religion, have the same core values, and these commonalities result in a community that would not have otherwise existed. When there is a disregard for religion, there is a loss of community and thus a step

It is taught in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition that every human being is made in God’s image and likeness. The CIT claim that the dignity of every being is inviolable and the commitment to justice for the common good is necessary is an important claim because God has taught us that every human life matters, we need to respect each other and different beliefs, and that we need to work together to improve the overall acceptance of other ethnicities and religions. To be understanding of other faiths and other beliefs is the first step to accepting other people for who they are, thus benefitting the common good. “Charity in Truth” and “The Uses of Knowledge” both represent this CIT claim because of the way they describe how we need to act
