OF THE HUMAN PERSON

This teaching tells us that we are to respect human life in all forms. Along with The right to life, this teaching tells us it is our duty as Catholics to keep it sacred. This means that the church does not support things like war, abortion, and euthanasia.

This teaching tells us that not only are we called to ensure that every person has the right to life, but that they also have any necessities they need to keep them healthy.

The following images represent people living out this social teaching. People usually display this through providing food, clothing, and comfort to those less fortunate.
