4 | 4 | 1. Man
|
5 |
| - a. "Of all visible creatures, only man is 'able to know and love his creator.' |
6 |
| - …[H]e alone is called to share, by knowledge and love, in God's own life. It |
7 |
| - was for this end that he was crated, and this is the fundamental reason for |
8 |
| - his dignity" (CCC 356). |
9 |
| - a. Man's dignity, or importance, is dependent on his destiny. |
10 |
| - a. The rest of creation derives *its* importance from that of Man. The book |
11 |
| - uses the analogy of a cathedral to the worshipers in the cathedral. |
12 |
| - a. Our call to be the Body of Christ, along with our dignity as having been |
13 |
| - created in God's image requires us to act with solidarity with all other |
14 |
| - people. |
15 |
| - a. When the Bible says we are created in God's image, it is looking forward to |
16 |
| - the coming of Christ. The incarnation of God as man makes all human persons |
17 |
| - have great dignity, and in fact holy. |
18 |
| - a. We are not a soul inhabiting a body, as if the body is a robot that our soul |
19 |
| - drives or steers. We do not become angels. |
20 |
| - a. Our soul is immortal, no animal has an immortal soul. This is a second way |
21 |
| - in which we are created in God's image, in that we were created for |
22 |
| - immortality. |
23 |
| - a. Human sexuality is holy because in it we participate in God's creation. |
24 |
| - a. Human sexuality is created and intended to be used within the context of |
25 |
| - marriage. |
26 |
| - a. Male and female are complimentary, that is different in nature but equal in |
27 |
| - value, designed to complete each other. |
