  1. \u201c[T]he\u00a0moral order<\/strong>\u00a0has\u00a0no existence\u00a0except in God<\/strong>;\u00a0cut off from God\u00a0it must necessarily\u00a0disintegrate.\u201d\u00a0(208)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u201cThe most fundamental modern error<\/strong> is that of imagining that man\u2019s natural sense of religion is nothing more than the outcome of feeling or fantasy.\u201d (214)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \"The most\u00a0perniciously typical\u00a0aspect of the modern era consists in the\u00a0absurd attempt\u00a0to\u00a0reconstruct a solid and fruitful temporal order divorced from God, who is, in fact, the only foundation on which it can endure.\" (217)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. \u201cSeparated from God a man is but a monster, <\/strong>in himself and toward others; for the right ordering of human society presupposes the right ordering of man\u2019s conscience with God\u201d.\u00a0(215)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. \u201c[I]n his\u00a0striving\u00a0to master and\u00a0transform\u00a0the world around him he is in danger of\u00a0forgetting and of destroying himself.\u201d\u00a0(242)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  6. \u201cFirst consideration must obviously be given to those values which concern man\u2019s dignity generally, and the immense worth<\/strong>\u00a0of each individual human life<\/strong>.\u201d (192)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  7. \u201cWe are all equally responsible\u2026it is necessary to educate one\u2019s conscience<\/strong>\u00a0to the sense of responsibility which weighs upon each and every one\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>(158)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n

    4 Key Learnings from Pope St. John Paul II<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Three<\/div>

    Three Key Principles<\/a><\/h2>

    Catholic social teaching is built on three foundational principles -\u00a0<\/strong>Human Dignity<\/strong>,\u00a0Solidarity\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Subsidiarity.\u00a0<\/strong>Human Dignity, embodied in a correct understanding of the human person, is the greatest. The others flow from it. Good governments and good economic systems find ways of fostering the three principles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    <\/div>

    Human Dignity<\/a><\/h2>

    This means a correct understanding of the human person and of each person\u2019s unique value. All Catholic social teaching flows from this: the inherent dignity of every person that comes from being made in God\u2019s image.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    <\/div>

    Solidarity<\/a><\/h2>

    Solidarity is not \u201ca feeling of vague compassion or shallow distress at the misfortunes of others. It is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good\u201d. (Pope St. John Paul II, 38)<\/a> Love of God and love of neighbor are, in fact, linked and form one, single commandment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    <\/div>

    Subsidiarity<\/a><\/h2>

    Subsidiarity \u201cis a fundamental principle of social philosophy, fixed and unchangeable, that one should not withdraw from individuals and commit to the community what they can accomplish by their own enterprise and industry. So, too, it is an injustice and at the same time a grave evil and a disturbance of right order to transfer to the larger and higher collectivity functions which can be performed and provided for by the lesser and subordinate bodies\u201d.
