Our world is often turbulent but the Church believes a just and fair world is possible when seven key principles are embraced :
Life and dignity of the human person:
We were created in God's image, therefore all life is sacred. This belief is the foundation for a just world.
Call to family, community, and participation:
People have a right and a duty to participate in society, seeking the well-being of all.
Rights and Responsibilities:
Everyone has a right to life and to what is necessary for human decency.
Option for the poor and vulnerable:
We are to treat as urgent the needs of the poor and vulnerable.
Dignity of work and workers:
The worker has a right to productive work, to decent and fair wages and to the protection of basic rights.
Solidarity:
We are one human family. We are to love our neighbors as brothers and sisters and work for justice and peace everywhere.
Care for God's creation:
We show our love for God by protecting his creation.
