Choosing In A Catholic Response, Distributive

223 Words1 Page

In life, there are many situations that calls for a choice between action and passivity. Choosing is dependent on an understanding of justice, for most people want to help create an equal society. By using A Catholic Response’s specific definition of justice one can determine how to act. For example, I have way more clothes then necessary. So when I come across something I do not need, I can use the emphasis of prioritizing the poor to decide what to do. In this case, donating my extras would be the just thing to do because I am honoring the dignity of others and respecting their right to have their needs met. Furthermore, in A Catholic Response, Distributive Justice focuses on giving special attention to needs and prohibiting discrimination.

    They attempt to suppress human nature, so that a balanced system can be achieved. this is apparent when Equality automatically assumes he was not assigned to the Home of the scholars because of his sin, The Transgression of Preference. Although is it obvious to the reader, that the council cannot control all desires of all people, Equality’s collective mindset causes him to believe “we had been guilty, but now we had a way to atone for it” (26). Equality‘s connects his disappointment to consequence because the council has established the expectation that all men should be consistently happy. The Council goes so far as to forbid men not to be happy which in turn, scares the population into categorizing all emotion other than satisfaction as foreign or out of the ordinary which are traits they strive to exterminate.

The hatred, selfishness, prejudice, and maliciousness seen in so many injustices man created unnecessarily, as well as all the suffering it causes does not need to exist. If an individual witnesses a crime or injustice occurring, it is their responsibility to defend the weak and fight for whatever is morally right, even at the cost of themselves.

  • The Canons Of Remonstrant On The Election Of The Saints

    317 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first article of Remonstrant briefly states that God's decree of election and his judgment of reprobation are conditional upon foreknown faith, or lack of it. The Canons of Dort refutes this article by arguing that the decrees of election and reprobation are absolute and unconditional. Both theologies agree on the election of the saints (saved sinners) but differed on how God chose the elect. The Calvinist assert that the election is not based on any human condition. The elect are chosen not because they are better or more deserving than the non-elect, but only on the unfathomable will of God.

  • The Christian Example For The Catholic People

    285 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Christian example is the way in which Christians are supposed to act through alms giving, performing good deeds, worshiping God, and treating everyone equally. Catholics often have arguments with non believers attempting to convince those non believers as to why our faith is the correct one to believe. There is nothing wrong with this, in fact apologists are needed in every generation to help Catholicism survive, but there is something about performing the Christian example that can make people convert to the faith as well. The human mind is often quite stubborn and often don't accept ideas of other people when arguing. Setting a good example for those stubborn people is not nearly as difficult than trying to change their mind with
