This chapter explores the active nature of belief in faith, contrasting the Catholic Church's view on social justice with broader cultural interpretations. It emphasizes the importance of human dignity as the cornerstone of justice, while addressing potential ethical dilemmas arising from societal perspectives that prioritize collective over individual needs.
The third part of the Catechism tells us how to live—how God has revealed that we are made to act toward him, toward each other, and toward ourselves. Fr. Mike and Dr. Mary Healy dive deep into moral theology, the state of our culture, and some of the stumbling blocks readers are bound to encounter in this part of the Catechism (as well as how to overcome them).
This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
