the church’s primary message = fight spiritual poverty, beauty helps inspire worship + teach the faith
art, music, architecture allow for diverse contributions from around the world
institutions have right to preserve history and culture (treasures of the church are a benefit for all)
such things provide revenue from which the church can help fight material wealth
debt + church attitude on it
debtors are obliged to pay for a loan as much as they reasonably can
creditors to avoid unfair interest rates
what does CC teach about the integrity of creation
human person’s god-given dominion over creation is not absolute; people must treat animals w/kindness and as creations of god
church guidance on immigration, refugees
prosperous nations must welcome the destitute to extent they are able
nations have right to borders + regulation of immigration
immigrants obliged to follow law of the land to which they go to
