No one is less important than another, and no one can be thought of as unnecessary. Every single person is vital to God and to each of us.

Politics

Church members should educate themselves on the moral issues being debated in the public arena.

People are called to love God not only with their hearts, but also with their minds. All things should be considered through the light of reason.
