Contemporary Church Statement:
The Curriculum Support for Catholic Schools website states that:
Justice thus seeks to establish harmony in human relationships
through distribution of goods, services and opportunities to meet
the needs of every member of society. Social justice uses the
leaven of the Gospel to transform social and political structures
which undermine human dignity and the common good. The call
to justice is at the heart of the prophets' messages to God's people.
Students need use the four Gospels that recount the story of Jesus Christ’s life (catechisms of teachings) and their Catholic virtues to represent human dignity and uphold the common good.
Compendium Statement:
The compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church states that:
Social justice, a requirement related to the social question which
today is worldwide in scope, concerns the social, political and
economic aspects and, above all, the structural dimension of
problems and their respective solutions.
All social justice issues have either political, economical, or social qualities, hence this assignment enables the students an opportunity to look at different solutions of the same issue. Students will need to reflect on their moral and ethical decision making skills in order to achieve a unique solution or possible solutions.
Catechism of the Catholic Church:
Students will demonstrate an understanding of the importance of social justice by applying the teachings of Jesus to their own culture and own life situations. (CCC 1928-1942)
Students will demonstrate knowledge of the social teachings of the Church. (CCC 2419-2425)
