The Church and the Dignity of Human Life
Catholic teaching distinguishes itself from what society presently sanctions by its firm and unchangeable defense of the dignity of human life. As Catholics, we are always held to defend human life from conception to natural death. The Church teaches that human life should be protected at every stage of development, whether in the womb, in the wheelchair or on the deathbed.
The Church and Marriage
Marriage reflects the relationship between man and woman that is grounded in nature and is not a creation of church or civil law. However, governments and faith groups recognize marriage as between a man and woman because the exclusive, mutual and lifelong gift of a husband and wife to each other is the most stable and secure foundation to create and nurture children
The Church and Protecting Children
In New York State, the Catholic Church has implemented sweeping reforms to protect children – training 1.5 million children to report abuse and to avoid situations where they might be hurt or victimized; conducting criminal background checks on more than 218,000 priests, religious and lay volunteers who interact with children; providing mandatory training in sexual abuse prevention strategies to more than 217,000 adults.
