Notes for Teaching

Sunday

• Reflection -- Being

Goodness of creation. Why something and not nothing?

All possibility for faith begins from the perspective of creation, createdness.

Many have criticized Pope Francis for issuing his encyclical letter on the care of creation, “Laudato sii”, saying that perhaps he would have done better to issue a letter on the Church’s teaching on gender or on the sacrament of marriage.

Belief in creation, and respect for it, form the foundation for other themes such as human dignity.
