Catholic Social Teaching 1

Spirituality and Faith Formation
Target Audience:  Religious Education Teachers

Overview
Catholic social teaching is an essential element of our faith and is an expression of the Church’s ministry of teaching. It is based on our understanding of human life and human dignity (Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, 2004, Schlag, 2017). It provides us with a vision for a just society in which the dignity of the individual is recognised, and those who are vulnerable are considered and cared for. As Christians we believe every human being is created in the image of God, and so from the moment of conception to death, an individual has a right to life consistent with that dignity.
