We Believe

Sacredness and Dignity of the Human Person

Human life is sacred and the dignity of the human person is the starting point for a moral vision for society. This belief is the foundation of all the principles of our social action.

Common Good and Community

We realize our dignity and rights in relationship with others in the community. Human beings grow and achieve fulfillment in the community. Everyone has a responsibility to contribute to the good of the whole society, to the common good.

Option for the Poor

The option for the poor is an essential part of society's effort to achieve the common good. A healthy community can be achieved only if its members give special attention to those with special needs, to those who are poor and on the margins of society.

Rights & Responsibility

Every person has a fundamental right to life and a right to those aspects required for human decency. Corresponding to these rights are duties and responsibilities -- to one another, to our families, and to the larger society.

Role of Government & Subsidiarity

All people have a right and a responsibility to participate in political institutions so that government can achieve its proper goals. The principle of subsidiarity holds that the functions of government should be performed at the lowest level possible, as long as they can be performed adequately.

Economical Justice

The economy must serve people. All workers have the right to productive work, to decent and fair wages, and to safe working conditions.

Stewardship of God's Creation

The goods of the earth are gifts from God, and they are intended by God for the benefit of everyone. There is a "social mortgage" that guides our use of the world's goods, and we have a responsibility to care for these goods as stewards and trustees, not as mere consumers and users. How we treat the environment is a measure of our stewardship, a sign of our respect for the Creator.

Promotion of Peace & Disarmament

Peace is not just the absence of war. It involves mutual respect and confidence between peoples and nations. It involves collaboration and binding agreements.

Participation

All people have the right to participate in the economic, political, and cultural life of society. It is a fundamental demand of justice and a requirement for human dignity that all people be ensure a minimum level of participation in the community.

Global Solidarity & Development

We are one human family. Our responsibilities to each other cross national, racial, economic and ideological differences. We are called to work globally for justice
