EVANGELIZATION RESOURCES CATHOLIC PERSPECTIVE, a quarterly issue report by Bishop Thomas Wenski of the Diocese of Orlando. This publication looks at urgent current issues from the perspective of Catholic social teaching as a means to find lasting and moral solutions. In January of 2007, a report issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that “the warming of the climate is unequivocal.” The case can be made for serious and urgent action. To do nothing could be dangerous and costly to the flourishing of humankind on this planet. But it is important that the moral and human dimensions of the challenges of global climate change not be overwhelmed by political, economic or ideological pressures. Three themes drawn from Catholic Social Teaching can help inform how policymakers and people of goodwill should respond to global climate change.
Certainly there are no easy solutions but those who seek good solutions must seek to define and refine what prudence and the pursuit of the common good require. The moral measure of any proposed solution is how it can help mitigate the ways that climate change and its remedies burden the poor and the vulnerable. CATHOLIC CHARITIES OF CENTRAL FLORIDA ADDRESSING Catholic Charities of Central Florida offers a wide range of services to the poor and marginalized to assist them immediately after a hurricane or other natural disaster strikes. The social service agency has invested in three mobile command centers that are equipped with state of the art generators and satellite communications. When a disaster strikes, the mobile units move into affected areas, assess the critical needs and mobilize the people and supplies needed to assist with emergency relief for the victims. Catholic Charities of Central Florida has partnered with other denominations to provide housing for families left homeless by the February 2007 tornadoes in Northeast Lake County. The program is known as “Home Again,” and it matches talents and resources to provide ongoing support, including the construction of new homes. Catholic Charities of Central Florida also provides free counseling services to families dealing with the trauma of loss and destruction. To learn more about how Catholic Charities of Central Florida helps the victims of hurricanes, tornadoes and other disasters, visit: www.ccorlando.org. EVANGELIZATION RESOURCES CATHOLIC PERSPECTIVE, a quarterly issues report by Bishop Thomas Wenski of the Diocese of Orlando. This report looks at urgent current issues from the perspective of Catholic social teaching as a means to find lasting and moral solutions. Each year, according to the CDC, an estimated 19 million people are infected with a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Healthcare cost for treatment ranges as high as 15.5 billion dollars a year and creates serious health risks as well as devastating emotional and spiritual consequences. The Catholic Church teaches that our bodies, including our sexuality, should be celebrated as gifts from God which help define our meaning in the world and with others. The ability to direct our sexuality toward good and healthy relationships and outcomes are expressed through the virtues that are rooted in chastity and abstinence. These virtues include:
Chastity is an attitude of respect and reverence for the human body and sexual desire, even in marriage. Abstinence is a voluntary decision to refrain from sex, substance abuse, over- eating, etc. Consider:
Although Congress recently reinstated funding for abstinence education, at a reduced level, their support is tenuous and future funding may be threatened. While evidence proves that such programs are successful there is more we can do. Become educated and educate our legislators.
CATHOLIC CHARITIES PROGRAM TEACHES KIDS TO THINKSMART! ThinkSmart is a federally funded abstinence education program offered to schools in Central Florida. Operating under the auspices of Catholic Charities, the program revolves around a five hour presentation for youth called RSVP, which stands for Responsible Social Values Program. The curriculum teaches youth ages 12 to 18 how to make healthy choices to last a lifetime. To reinforce this message throughout the school year, ThinkSmart organizes after school clubs that focus on fun, interactive ways to teach abstinence. The definition of abstinence, as it pertains to this program, is voluntarily refraining from at-risk behaviors including discrimination, racism, violence, tobacco, alcohol, drugs and sex before marriage. Abstinence education recognizes that young people can—and will—make intelligent decisions if properly informed. ThinkSmart is not a sex education class but rather, a character building, critical thinking skill development and relationship education curricula. All ThinkSmart programs are adaptable to a variety of presentation settings such as schools, youth groups and church groups that meet daily or weekly. Parents are considered the primary educators and sources of guidance for their children. ThinkSmart holds workshops to help parents understand the issues and potential threats facing their children each day and encourages parents to talk to their children about these risks and how to effectively handle them.
