Justice and solidarity

Justice requires respect for every person’s dignity and the conditions needed for a genuinely human life. Solidarity recognizes that people’s lives are bound together across differences of wealth, nationality, race, and circumstance. Differences in gifts and resources create duties of mutual service, not a justification for contempt. Addressing unjust structures complements direct charity rather than replacing it.

Follow the sources

Pause. Reflect. Bring a question.

Make it part of your story.

What would solidarity require beyond a feeling of sympathy?
