It is contrary to human dignity to cause animals to suffer or die needlessly.
It is likewise unworthy to spend money on them that should as a priority go to
the relief of human misery. One can love animals; one should not direct to them
the affection due only to persons.

1975 According to Scripture
the Law is a fatherly instruction by God which prescribes for man the ways that
lead to the promised beatitude, and proscribes the ways of evil.

“Christian, recognize your dignity and, now that you share in God’s own
nature, do not return to your former base condition by sinning. Remember who is
your head and of whose body you are a member. Never forget that you have been
rescued from the power of darkness and brought into the light of the Kingdom of
God.”1

“Christ bestowed unity on his Church from the beginning. This unity, we
believe, subsists in the Catholic Church as something she can never lose, and
we hope that it will continue to increase until the end of
time.”277 Christ always gives his Church the gift of unity, but
the Church must always pray and work to maintain, reinforce, and perfect the
unity that Christ wills for her. This is why Jesus himself prayed at the hour
of his Passion, and does not cease praying to his Father, for the unity of his
disciples: “That they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am
in you, may they also be one in us, . . . so that the world may know that you
have sent me.”278 The desire to recover the unity of all
Christians is a gift of Christ and a call of the Holy Spirit.279

Agnosticism assumes a number of forms. In certain cases the agnostic refrains
from denying God; instead he postulates the existence of a transcendent being
which is incapable of revealing itself, and about which nothing can be said. In
other cases, the agnostic makes no judgment about God’s existence, declaring it
impossible to prove, or even to affirm or deny.

Mother Church earnestly
desires that all the faithful should be led to that full, conscious, and active
participation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature
of the liturgy, and to which the Christian people, “a chosen race, a royal
priesthood, a holy nation, a redeemed people,” have a right and an
obligation by reason of their Baptism.11

The Messiah’s characteristics are revealed above all in the “Servant
songs.”82 These songs proclaim the meaning of Jesus’ Passion and
show how he will pour out the Holy Spirit to give life to the many: not as an
outsider, but by embracing our “form as slave.”83 Taking our
death upon himself, he can communicate to us his own Spirit of life.

1946 The differences among
persons belong to God’s plan, who wills that we should need one another. These
differences should encourage charity.
