II. The Family and Society
2212
The fourth commandment illuminates other relationships in society. In our
brothers and sisters we see the children of our parents; in our cousins, the
descendants of our ancestors; in our fellow citizens, the children of our
country; in the baptized, the children of our mother the Church; in every human
person, a son or daughter of the One who wants to be called “our Father.”
In this way our relationships with our neighbors are recognized as personal in
character. the neighbor is not a “unit” in the human collective; he
is “someone” who by his known origins deserves particular attention
and respect.
