How we live and act as a Catholic Christian is defined by theological principles.
► Principles lead to action.
► Principled people know what they believe and are willing to stand by it.
► The US Bishops document, “Sharing Catholic Social Teaching: Challenges and Directions” 1
defines the principles upon which Catholic social teaching is based—principles that include family,
religious, social, political, technological, recreational and cultural issues.
