Human Dignity

In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the dignity of the human person is rooted in his or her creation in the image and likeness of God. “All human beings,” says the Church, “in as much as they are created in the image of God, have the dignity of a person.”

The Oblate JPIC initiative works to promote human dignity and respect for God’s creation using an ethic of consistent life. We work through our faith-consistent investment principles, advocacy with corporations and governments, educational outreach, grassroots organizing (in Oblate parishes), and financial support for campaigning organizations. We believe in an ethic of consistent life and focus on the following issue areas:

• Pro-Life Initiatives
• HIV/AIDS
• Human Rights
• Death Penalty
• Torture
• Human trafficking
• Immigration
• Indigenous Peoples
• Poverty/Economic Justice
• Integrity of Creation
• Peace
