Principles
|
The Primacy of Human Dignity – We
believe the inherent dignity of the individual derives from his/her
creation in God's image and as such validates the human being and
the development of their potential, as the ultimate goal of all
human institutions.
Justice –
Within our Christian faith, justice is an expression of love
(caritas) towards all of our fellow human beings, without
discrimination, and makes the rights of other people a prime focus.
The Nature of Work
– We appreciate all work; but more importantly we value and
care for all workers - paid and unpaid - in their role as the
primary contributor to the work process. |
|
Common Good – We affirm that
individuals and group achieve their potential as members of society
when the needs and rights of the human family are respected and a
moral commitment to promote the common good is shared.
Solidarity
– We acknowledge the interdependence of all individuals and groups,
and the particular obligation of those with increased capability, to
universally and actively pursue the common good of the human family.
Preferential option
for the poor – We accept the imperative to
recognise, understand and respond to the special needs of the poor and
disadvantaged.
Subsidiarity – We
believe that social structure should facilitate the right of individuals
and families to be actively involved in the decision-making process that
affects their personal and community life.
Stewardship &
Sustainability – We
advocate and practice the judicious use of resources for the betterment
of family life with respect for the environment and its sustainability.
Access to Natural
Family Planning – We
believe that the Australian community should
have access to the option of the provision of family services which
assist them to live their sexuality in
way that is oriented towards
the ideals and purposes of marriage and is respectful of the sacredness
of human life from its beginning.
