Catholic Morality and Sexuality
"Do to others whateverÂ
you would have them do to you."Â
Matthew 7:12
Living our Catholic faith is not simply a matter of prayer. It includes how we treat other people and how we treat ourselves.
It involves how we look at human dignity. In April 2024, the Vatican Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith issued "Dignitas Infinita" discussing the concepts behind our understanding of human dignity and examples of the importance of human dignity in real life situations. Please see Part I and Part II of my reflection on "Dignitas Infinita" for more on this.
