Study Notes

Human Heart Questions

Human heart questions are questions people ask throughout their lives as they grow and change.
These questions are important for understanding the world around them.
Only God can truly answer these fundamental questions.

Four Types of Human Heart Questions

Personal: Questions about happiness, self-understanding, and achieving personal goals (e.g., "What's life all about?").
Relationship: Questions about our relationships with others and finding love and acceptance (e.g., "Who will always love and accept me?").
Future: Questions about the future of oneself, the world, and creation (e.g., "What difference can I make to the future of the Earth?").
God: Questions about God, faith, creation, and religious beliefs and practices (e.g., "Who is God?").

Paul's Missionary Journeys

Around 45 AD, Paul embarked on three missionary journeys to preach and convert people to Christianity.
He traveled to many countries and cities, spreading the Gospel.
Paul was eventually imprisoned and executed in Rome around 67AD.

The Church's Magisterium

The church's Magisterium consists of the Pope and bishops who are guided by the Holy Spirit.
They are responsible for interpreting Scripture and Tradition in a way that is authoritative.
They are committed to protecting the authentic teachings of Jesus.

Catholic Understanding of Tradition

Tradition refers to the teachings handed down by the Apostles, guided by the Holy Spirit.
It includes the Creed and Christ's moral teachings.
Tradition protects the Church from misrepresenting the teachings of Jesus.

Virtue

A virtue is a habit of doing what is good.
The 'Christian virtues' include faith, hope, love, compassion, honesty, humility, respect, and loyalty.
The cardinal virtues are fortitude, justice, prudence, and temperance.

Emotions and Behaviour

Emotions are strong feelings that move people to behave in specific ways.
The will is the ability to choose between good and evil, and directing emotions appropriately through the will maintains emotional harmony.
Recognizing, accepting, and directing emotions appropriately is a crucial part of emotional development.

Sexuality

Sexuality is different from sex, influencing all aspects of a person's growth and development (physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and social).
There are three primary types of love: romantic, altruistic, and familial.
Careful and thoughtful consideration should be given to sexual experimentation. It can harm a person’s development rather than assisting or promoting balanced, healthy relationships.

Forgiveness

Sin is any deliberate thought, word, or deed against God's law.
Three Conditions for Sin: The thought/word/action must be against God's law, the person must know it's against God's law, and the person must choose to do it anyway.
People can repent, and God's forgiveness is available through the sacrament of reconciliation.

Sacraments

The sacraments are rituals that connect people with God.
Baptism, Holy Communion, and Penance are essential Christian sacraments.
The sacraments can empower Christians to live chaste lives and help overcome impediments.

Love for God

The first commandment, to love God, is essential.
Love for God empowers Christians to love their neighbours properly.
Chastity is the ability to harmonise thoughts and feelings and desires with the love of God; thus, it's a critical component in living a chaste life.
