CDOC EXAM Study Questions with 100%Correct Verified Answers
How does charity compare to the other virtues?
It is the greatest. The practice of all the virtues is animated and inspired by charity, which
"binds everything together in perfect harmony"; it is the form of the virtues; it articulates and
orders them among themselves; it is the source and the goal of their Christian practice.
Charity upholds and purifies our human ability to love, and raises it to the supernatural
perfection of divine love.
The fruits of charity are...
joy, peace, and mercy;
What are the Gifts of the Holy Spirit?
wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord
And what do the fruits of the holy spirit accomplish?
they complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful
docile in readily obeying divine inspirations.
As a simple def. the fruits of the holy spirit are
perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us
mortal sin
A grave offense against God that destroys a person's relationship with him by severing him or
her from divine love. It destroys charity in the heart of man; it turns man away from God,
who is his ultimate end and his beatitude, by preferring an inferior good to him.
,venial sin
A less serious offense against the will of God that diminishes one's personal character and
weakens but does not rupture one's relationship with God.
Venial vs. Mortal sin
Venial Sin: habit, not grave matter and doesn't destroy your connection with
god Mortal Sin- gravely sinful act, can sever connection with god
Why cant human society function without authority?
Human society can be neither well-ordered nor prosperous unless it has some people invested
with legitimate authority to preserve its institutions and to devote themselves as far as is
necessary to work and care for the good of all.
To what extent must we obey authority?
Authority is exercised legitimately only when it seeks the common good of the group concerned
and if it employs morally licit means to attain it. If rulers were to enact unjust laws or take
measures contrary to the moral order, such arrangements would not be binding in conscience.
In such a case, "authority breaks down completely and results in shameful abuse."23
THE COMMON GOOD
In keeping with the social nature of man, the good of each individual is necessarily related
to the common good, which in turn can be defined only in reference to the human person:
Do not live entirely isolated, having retreated into yourselves, as if you were already justified,
but gather instead to seek the common good together.25
Thus, "the common good" while not the ultimate good, is nevertheless the...
central aim of our lives.
We do not exist for ourselves. Pursuing our own private goods, while it may have
some positive spillovers, eventually degenerates into an order where
, only the strong survive, where only those who "play to win" can "make it," and where every
shared enterprise is merely a vehicle for my own personal advancement. In many ways, all our
social problems can be seen in the light of our temptation to believe in this awful myth of
"survival of the fittest." The human race is one, and God seeks for us to become more and
more one with all, and especially with the weakest.
What is society
A society is a group of persons bound together organically by a principle of unity that
goes beyond each one of them.
SOCIAL JUSTICE
1928 Society ensures social justice when it provides the conditions that allow associations or
individuals to obtain what is their due, according to their nature and their vocation. Social
justice is linked to the common good and the exercise of authority.
Equality and difference in society
Created in the image of the one God and equally endowed with rational souls, all men have
the same nature and the same origin. Redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ, all are called to
participate in the same divine beatitude: all therefore enjoy an equal dignity.
Where does equality of man rest?
The equality of men rests essentially on their dignity as persons and the rights that flow from it:
Why are human beings different?
these differences belong to God's plan, who wills that each receive what he needs from others,
and that those endowed with particular "talents" share the benefits with those who need them.
These differences encourage and often oblige persons to practice generosity, kindness, and
sharing of goods; they foster the mutual enrichment of cultures:
I distribute the virtues quite diversely; I do not give all of them to each person, but some to
one, some to others.
