The Catholic plan for world peace

                                  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.
