What does the Catechism of the Catholic Church teach about the Fifth Commandment: "You shall not kill"? Learn about the profound sacredness of human life, from conception to natural death, and the unique and unrepeatable nature of every person created in the image and likeness of God.
In this video we discuss:
- The special gifts that make humans distinct from all other creatures
- The eternal relationship between God and each human soul, and the importance of respecting this bond
- The various offenses against the Fifth Commandment, such as murder, abortion, euthanasia, and suicide
- The importance of treating both the body and soul with dignity and respect
- The concept of self-defense and its distinction from murder
- How we are called to love our neighbors and protect the dignity of the human person in all circumstances
Gain a deeper understanding of how to live out this commandment in daily life and build a world that upholds the sanctity of every human life.
