please answer the following 3 questions in a 2 page response they should all be individual responses. i will attach the reading necessary to answer thee questions it is only 9 pages long . this must be donee before 9pm tonight eastern standard time
question #1. On p. 5-8, #1-7: (CORE READER) Benedict states that love is the extraordinary force which
leads people to work for peace and justice. But without truth charity degenerates into
sentimentality. He says charity has been detached from ethical living, but it must be linked
with truth and in that way can charity be
authentically lived. What does all this mean? What is caritas in veritate? What does he
mean that truth (what truth) and love must be linked? How is caritas in veritate linked to
justice and the common good?
question #2. On p.10-17, # 43-51: Benedict outlines the idea of rights and responsibilities. What does he
say about rights and responsibilities; what issues does he list and describe as our
responsibility? What does he say about each one? What do you think? Are these our
responsibilities? Your responsibilities? Are these
issues related to our world today?
question #3. On p.18-26, #53-63: Benedict states that “The development of peoples depends on a
recognition that the human race is a single family” and that authentic human development
requires a ‘metaphysical’ understanding of the human. Then he outlines all the ways that
the human family must cooperate and develop. Can we recognize that the human race is a
single family? What does he mean by ‘metaphysical’ understanding of the human? Is that
important? Why or why not? What are the ways he lists that the human family needs
development and cooperation to become a single family? Which ones do you agree with or
disagree with and why?
