If you are unable to attend this class, please submit to the instructor at
the next class written responses to each of the three questions below. Each response should be 2-3 paragraphs in
length and address the question completely. Include the question (not just the number) at the top
of your response.
Chapter 29. The Fifth Commandment: Promote the Culture of Life
- How are moral relativism, denial of God, and weakening of conscience at the heart of
the culture of death? How can we act to counter these elements of our society to promote
the value of human life in all its stages?
- Choose two examples of "life issues that confront us" from this chapter. For each example,
present a commonly-held point of view in our society that is contrary to the Church's teaching on that issue.
How would you explain and defend the teaching of the Church in this matter to someone with this point
of view?
- What is the sin of scandal, and how is it a violation of the Fifth Commandment?
Cite Scripture in your response (see CCC, no. 2284 and following). Give some examples of the sin
of scandal from our society and show how they lead others to do evil.
