23 October 2011 Class

We continued reading the Visions handout regarding the dignity of the human person. The Visions handout focused on the dignity of work and 7 points around it. The seven points are Catholic Social Teaching. How the points are applied is part of the political process; different groups/parties have different ideas of how to apply/legislate/enforce laws (we didn't get specific).

Introduced Our Lady of Guadalupe to expand the idea of the dignity of the human person. Handed out first page of this pdf handout (used this online search). Our Lady was credited with ending the human sacrifice of the Aztecs after mass conversions to the Catholic Faith.

Talked briefly about Saint M. Kolbe (Hitler's Germany) and other Catholic martyrs that showed the Love of God.

Completed budget activity with play money. What budgeted items were that which belonged to God? First, each individual did their budget. Next, the class came up with a budget.

Next class, in addition to other things, we will record the definitions of Roman Catholicism to put on this website.
