Care for Gods Creation

Explain how the social teaching could help to alleviate this


challenge/problem in your school
Respect for human life means respecting ALL of Gods creation, meaning we all
should live in our environment and take responsibility for it; live sustainably, live so
that resources are evenly distributed.

In Genesis, Adam and Eve are given responsibility for caring for creation, but hasnt
been a strong theme over the last 2000 years. Care for creation has found to be a
latecomer to Catholic Social Teaching.

Creation provides us with the physical fabric of our lives; the natural environment
gives us the stuff we use every day, yet it can so easily and so often be taken for
granted.

Technology has given us a huge amount of benefits that have helped alleviate
suffering and create new methods of solidarity among people. We can also see how
it has made it easier for us to become alienated from our environment. New and
efficient ways have been discovered to plunder the worlds natural resources not to
preserve it.
