  • Freedom
    :
    The power, rooted in the intellect and will, to act or not to act, to do this or that, and so to perform deliberate actions on one’s own responsibility. True freedom is the ability to do what one ought to do, that which is truly good and directed toward God, our happiness and fulfillment.
  • Responsibility
    :
    Being accountable for one’s choices and actions. Because we have free will, we are morally accountable for our actions.
  • Human person
    :
    A unique human individual who possesses the capacity for an inner life of thoughts and understandings, knowledge of his personhood, and is capable of freedom. Each of us are human persons, unique individuals created in the image and likeness of God, even before we are born.
  • Christian Anthropology

    The study of human beings that concerns their origin, nature, and destiny. A Christian anthropology considers the human person from a Christian perspective, as made in the image and likeness of God.
