Father Daniel Groody’s article provides much food for thought, particularly regarding the great inequities in the contemporary world. Whereas the reading from Gaudium et Spes last week presented the Catholic vision of what God desires for humankind (what OUGHT to be), Groody’s article presents an overview of where we actually ARE (what IS the case).

You are invited to share your thoughts as you reflect upon the readings from these two weeks. In Gaudium et Spes, focus ONLY on Chapter 2. Think about some of the points brought out by Groody in light of what Chapter Two of Gaudium et Spes says about the conditions necessary for human well-being. What stands out for you the most in each of our readings? How do conditions in our 21st century situation measure up to what is called for in these readings? How do they fall short? What are your thoughts?

Identify and cite the SPECIFIC points you are discussing from EACH reading. Post your own response to these questions FIRST, and then return later to respond to two of your classmates.
