Perhaps you have heard of the right to life. What does that mean – the right to life?
Every person on earth has basic needs. What is a need?
What is the common good?
What is stewardship?
What is subsidiarity?
These and other Catholic Social Teachings are introduced, defined, and explored in Sandra Garant's newest title, a book on Catholic Social Teaching. Our actions arise from our attitudes and knowledge. Therefore, we need to know the why and what of Catholic Social Teaching. We can tell our children and ourselves again and again, "Yes, we certainly must do something for the common good, and of course, solidarity is a good thing," but what do these words mean? And why are they necessary for living our faith today?
Children ages 7 to 12 learn how to live as members of the Biggest Family on Earth in this guide which introduces them to key elements of Catholic Social Teaching using the following methods:
- definitions
- games
- questions
- opposing viewpoints
- Sacred Scripture and Tradition
- patron saints
- examples
- music
- Web links
In this easy-to-use program, children will discover why the right to life is fundamental to all other human rights, the difference between existence and life, the purpose of work, how God and the government use subsidiarity, what the preferential option means, what constitutes solidarity, and much more.
Adaptable for families, classrooms, and summer programs. Based upon The Social Agenda published by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. 75 pages. E-Book. 1.1 MB download.
