    The Ten Principles of

    Catholic Social
    Teaching
    Dana Jain Angela Mayor Patrick Sarte
    Human
    Dignity
    Your Logo or Name Here 2
    The principle of human dignity states that every
    human being has inherent dignity being created
    according to the image and likeness of God and
    therefore, everyone, regardless of gender, age,
    nationality, color, economic status, and belief, is of
    great value and is worthy of respect. The dignity
    that one possesses is not gained by what one does
    or achieved in life but rather, it is something that is
    inherently given to him/her by God when he
    created him/her as a human being. Your Logo or Name Here
    Respect
    for Human
    Life
    Your Logo or Name Here 4
    The principle of respect for
    human life, from the moment of
    its conception until its natural
    end, is sacred and therefore must
    always be valued, respected, and
    defended. Your Logo or Name Here 5
    Association

    Your Logo or Name Here


    Association the principle of association states
    that every human being is by nature Q social
    being. People live in a community. By
    associating oneself and building harmonious
    relationships with fellow human beings, one
    meets his/her needs in living a dignified life and
    experiencing fulfilment in life The basic unit of a
    community or society is the family. It is where
    most people learn the fundamental values
    needed in living a just and dignified life.
    Therefore, it must always be protected from
    anything that could destroy or disintegrate it.

    Participation
    Your Logo or Name Here 8
    Participation The principle of participation
    states that we human beings have the right and
    duty to participate in the creation of a just
    society where common good is served and
    every human right is respected and protected. It
    is every individual's right and duty to participate
    in any activity that could help one experience
    fulfilment for himself/herself and improve
    his/her well-being and that of other people
    around him/her. No one has the right to prevent
    any individual from doing such thing.

    The Principle
    of
    Preferential
    Option for
    the Poor and
    Vulnerable
    Your Logo or Name Here
    is founded on the story of the Last Judgment in
    Matthew 25:31-46 wherein Christ explicitly told the
    people that serving those who are in need is
    equivalent to serving Jesus himself. Therefore, for
    us to please and serve Christ, we must minister to
    the needs of the hungry, thirsty, naked, sick
    imprisoned, and strangers for what we do to these
    considered least in the society, we do it also unto
    Christ. Giving priority to the needs of these people
    over acquisition of excess wealth also means
    serving the common good for this leads to a more
    balanced distribution of earthly goods. Your Logo or Name Here 11
    Solidarity

    Your Logo or Name Here


    The principle of solidarity states that we
    human beings belong to one family and
    therefore, we are expected to love and
    serve one another by looking after the
    well-being of every member of this big
    family. This principle calls us to work for
    the good of every people in this world
    regardless of race, social status, gender,
    and religious affiliation by doing acts of
    charity and justice. Your Logo or Name Here 13
    Stewardship

    Your Logo or Name Here 14


    The principle of stewardship states that we must
    respect God our Creator by caring for and
    cultivating his wonderful creation which he
    entrusted to us being his stewards. It is totally
    unjust to the Creator to abuse and destroy this
    world that we live in since it does not belong to
    us but to him and he just asks us to take care of it
    and make it productive for our own good. The
    principle of stewardship also calls us to make
    full use of our talents, skills, and properties not
    only for our own good but for the good of our
    neighbor. Your Logo or Name Here
    Subsidiarity

    Your Logo or Name Here 16


    The principle of subsidiarity is about giving
    aid or assistance to those who are in need in
    a way that is not too much so as not to make
    them perennially dependent on others and
    not too little as to let them continue to be
    lacking in their basic needs. This principle
    also states that the higher level of institution
    like the government must let the lower level
    of institution handle or address the issues or
    problems to which they are closer to. Your Logo or Name Here
    Human
    Equality
    Your Logo or Name Here
    The principle of human equality is also
    founded on the religious truth that every
    human being has equal dignity given by
    God having created every human
    according to his image and likeness.
    Therefore, everyone deserves to be
    equally respected and all types of
    discrimination can never be compatible
    with it. Your Logo or Name Here 19
    Common
    Good
    Your Logo or Name Here
    The principle of common good is
    understood as the attainment of what is
    good not only for few individuals but for
    the entire community or society as well.
    This can be realized by providing a just
    structure or condition where all people
    live a dignified life, enjoy their rights,
    and reach the fullest of their potentials
    as human beings. Your Logo or Name Here 21
