Lesson 1: The Social Teaching of the Church

Jesus came only for spiritual reasons.

The proclamation of Jesus Christ is readily received in today's world.

The Church fulfills its total evangelical mission through teachings on economic issues only.

The roots of the Church's teachings can be found in sacred scriptures and apostolic writings.

Magisterium is a term used to refer to church choirs.

Men and women of the modern age have no need for the Gospel.

The encyclical 'Rerum Novarum' was the first social document issued by Pope Leo XIII in 1891.

Faith is not considered a central reality in Filipino life.

The social teachings of the Church emphasize that the Christian message should only focus on other-worldly salvation.

Human beings are considered unique in creation because they are solely spiritual beings.

The capacity to know and love the creator is not considered a characteristic of human dignity.

One of the concrete ways to respond to the Church's social mission is to neglect one's spiritual life and involvement in social organizations.
