Through
this course, I have learned and understood the Catholic Church’s viewpoints
regarding many of the controversial topics such as abortion and gay
marriage. Recognizing the Church’s perspectives on these important issues
is imperative because it helps one to form his or her own opinion.
Through this course, my opinion regarding these issues has been focused.
However, I think it is crucial to note that differing opinions are not wrong,
they are just different.
Responding to vocations has been a
key element incorporated throughout this class as well. Vocations are not
just in reference to the religious life, evident by Sister Colleen, but rather
to the single or married life. I enjoyed learning information about the
papal candidates. My favorite part was watching history as Pope Francis,
the first Latin American/Jesuit pope, walked on the balcony at our papal party!
