  10. #9 • Humans are spiritualbeings who possess incomparable dignity, value and worth. We are not just somethings, but someones.

  11. #10 • True or False? No other creature can respond to God in faith and in love except human beings. True

  15. #14 • Being God’s creatures draws attention to the fact that humans are spiritual-material creatures with both a body and a soul. The spiritual nature gives us the ability to think, make choices, and to love.

  16. #15 Unlike nihilismwhich states that there is no meaning to existence, the scripturalaccount of the human creation storydeclares that creation and human existence are in harmony with God, each other, and the rest of creation.

  17. #16 • What is the point of the second creation account in Genesis Chapter Two? • To assert the fundamental goodness of humans who were created for friendship with God.

  18. #17 • What is the proof of our fundamental goodness? God so loves us that “he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

  19. #18 • Why is dignity inherent in human beings? Why is it inviolable? Why is it inalienable? Inherent: It is an essential characteristic of being human. Inviolable: No one has the right to violate or profane it. Inalienable: Cannot be taken away by anyone.

  23. #22 • Our spiritual nature makes us unsatisfied with ourphysical existence and causes restlessness in the depths of our souls because we thirst for an ultimate happiness that only Godcan quench.

  24. #23 • God endowed human beings with some awesome capacities. What are these? Our intellects, free will, ability to love, to be responsible, and to grow.

  25. #24 • True or False? Because human beings can think, we can also search for, and discover, truth. True

  30. #31 • Explain the principle of subsidiarity in your own words. The principle of Catholic social teaching that holds that a higher unit of society should not do what a lower unit can do as well (or better).

  31. #32 According to the CCC, the human personshould be the subject and object of every society, with the right and duty to participatein that society, guided by authority which must be devoted to the common goodand must exercise power morally.

  32. #33 • Further; the CCC states that larger societies should support the participation ofindividuals and lower-level communities without taking over functions they can do for themselves. Societies should promote virtue and challenge individuals to turn from sin, serve others justly, and contribute their gifts and talents to the common good.

  38. #39 • All humans through history have suffered the consequences of the Original Sin. We have fallen victim to weakness, cowardice, and avarice even though we may have the best of intentions. Sin contaminatesour communities, often polluting the way societies work, especially harming the weak and defenseless.

  39. #40 • The Good News of salvation is the redeeming person and message of Jesus Christ given to us by God, our loving Father. Jesus is God incarnate (made flesh). He is love in its most radical form as evidenced (as Pope Benedict XVI observes) in contemplating the crucified Christ.
