 28. 

The common good includes the social conditions that permit people to reach their full human potential and to realize their human dignity.  Three essential elements of the common good are respect for the person, the social well being and development of the group, and peace and security.  In our interdependent world, there is also a universal common good that requires international structures that can promote universal human development.
 

 29. 

The document lays out this principle: “In a global culture driven by excessive individualism our tradition proclaims that the person is not only sacred but social…. The family is the central social institution that must be supported and strengthened, not  undermined…. We believe people have a right and a duty to participate in society, seeking together the common and well being of all” .
 

 30. 

The most basic human test answers this question: “How are our most vulnerable members doing?”  Jesus taught in the story of the Last Judgement (Mt 25) that we must put he needs of the poor and vulnerable first.  Why?  Our response to our vocation in Christ and the common good requires that the powerless and the poor must be protected or society will fragment and all will suffer.  The poor and vulnerable are our brothers and sisters.  They deserve respect, the protection of their rights, the ability to participate and to share in God’s good creation.  In other words, they deserve justice. 
 

 31. 

As the document puts it, “We are called to protect people and the planet, living our faith in relationship with all of God’s creation” (Sharing, p.6).  In short, we respect our loving Creator by being good stewards of the earth. 
 

 32. 

This foundational principle holds that every person—regardless of gender, race, age, nationality, religion or economic status—deserves respect.  Our dignity does not come from what we have or what we do; it comes from being God’s special creation.  “Every human being is created in the image of God and redeemed by Jesus Christ, and therefore is valuable and worthy of respect as a member of the human family.
 

 33. 

Related to this principle, the role of government is to guarantee and protect human life and dignity and to promote the common good.
 

 34. 

Every stage of a human’s life— womb to tomb—is precious and worthy of our respect and protection.  Unless human life is treated as sacred and respected as such, we simply cannot have a just society.  According to the document:  “Every person, from the moment of conception to natural death, has inherent dignity and a right to life consistent with that dignity.”
 

 35. 

This principle teaches that the lowest level of an organization should handle a function if it is capable of doing so without the higher level intruding.  The idea is that individuals or groups are closer to problems that affect them and should be given the first opportunity to solve them without higher levels intruding.
 

 36. 

The economy must serve the people, not the other way around.  Work helps us to make a living and to participate in God’s creation.  The dignity of work is safeguarded when worker’s rights are respected. These include productive work, decent and fair wages, union participation, private property, and economic initiative.  “Respecting these rights promotes an economy that protects human life,  defends human rights, and advances the well-being of all.”
 

 37. 

This Principle reminds us “that we are our brother’s and sister’s keepers, wherever they live….’Loving our neighbor’ has global dimensions in an interdependent world.”  Catholic teaching requires us to commit ourselves to the common good—the good of each and every person.  Why? As Pope John Paul II wrote “This then is not a feeling of vague compassion or shallow distress at the misfortunes of so many people, both near and far. On the contrary, it is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good; that is to say to the good of all and of each individual, because we are all really responsible for all.”
 

 38. 

The most fundamental right is that of life and what is necessary for human decency.  Rights have corresponding responsibilities to each other, to our families, and to the larger society.  “The Catholic tradition teaches that human dignity can be protected and a healthy community can be achieved only if human rights are protected and responsibilities are met.”
 

 39. 

Although people have different talents, we are essentially equal because of our fundamental dignity as God’s children made in his image and likeness.  Therefore, any form of discrimination or prejudice which contradicts the rights that flow from this equality is unjust.
