Module 9 Discussion Catholicism

Q Module Nine Discussion In our contemporary era, in which indifference to religion seems to be increasing among some sectors, does attention to exemplary Catholic lives seem worthwhile? How do noteworthy examples of Christianity lived out serve as a valuable ‘witness’ to what Christianity actually means when taken seriously (not merely as a set of doctrines, but as creating a life worth living?). In what ways do the lives of Dorothy Day and Maggy Barankitse seem relevant to this discussion (discuss both of them, and use particular examples to support your view)?

It is true that in the contemporary era, there is a strange indifference to religion and at this is time attention to exemplary Catholic lives is indeed worthwhile. In today’s modern and complex world, it is even more important to follow the Catholic teachings. From the life of Day and Barankitse we actually get to learn a lot. The core teaching is all about helping others and doing charity. And they followed this unconditionally. Dorothy Day started doing the most noble to all works, that is, putting a roof over the head of the homeless. She was arrested but did not stop her work.
