During this forum, when asking questions, I learned something new:
There’s a period when the earth was in almost complete darkness for two years. It’s called, The Volcanic Winter of 536. Farmlands, animals, and people were affected. The devastation was horrific, and millions of people died. Here is an interesting article: The Worst Year in History to Be Alive
The Catholic Church teaches us much about human dignity.
“The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. This belief is the foundation of all the principles of our social teaching.”
Scriptures:
Genesis 1:26-31: God created man and woman in his image.
Proverbs 22:2: The Lord is the maker of both rich and poor.
John 4:1-42: Jesus broke with societal and religious customs to honor the dignity of the Samaritan woman.
These are areas that affect the children of God and their dignity:
✓ Family Communication | ✓ Environmental Concerns |
✓ Rights & Responsibilities | ✓ Global Solidarity |
✓ Producer/Worker | ✓ Poor & Vulnerable |
Upcoming forums:
October 19th: The Seven Principles of Catholic Social Teaching
November 2nd: Meals in the Bible and What They Teach Us
November 16th: The Dimensions of Solidarity
