SOCIAL JUSTICE / CHRISTIAN ETHICS

Justice is at the core of the gospel message. The church challenges us to a hope that envisions justice and peace in the world. The faith of Christian men and women has always been energized by this hope and informed by the belief that all of us are created in the image and likeness of God, possessed of an unsurpassable dignity because of that, and entitled, therefore, to be treated with the full dignity which that requires. Students will learn these basic principles as they are expressed in scripture and papal teaching, and apply them to a variety of modern issues in a spirit of compassion, forgiveness, freedom, openness, and courage, reflecting and changing their own societally influenced attitudes in the process.
