Document Summary

The gospel of life: pope leo xiii rerum novarum, pope john paul ii. Specific issues adressed: contraception/reproductive technology, youth in asia, question of abortion, genocide/war, death penalty, ecology. These issues for this encyclical belong together because they are in essence the same. He talks about these specific issues w/o condemning. But he suggests that the desire for freedom as misunderstood: catholic teachings: humans are made to live freely. Its when ppl choose freedom it is a moment when that human expresses the image of god in oneself. In catholicism freedom means to do something and ultimately to love others and god. Not exactly to do what u wana do. Your freedom is you capacity to make a free gift of yourself to others . You practice it; practice doing good and love for others; appeal to your conscience: conscience is seen in luther king in deit of worms and in vatican 2 dignitatis.
