CCD classes typically focus on teaching the basics of the Catholic faith, including scripture, sacraments, prayer, and moral teachings. Students may also learn about the history of the Church and the lives of the saints. The goal is to help children grow in their understanding and practice of their faith.
Observance of religious and moral laws refers to adhering to the principles and guidelines set forth by a particular religion or ethical code. This involves following rituals, practices, and teachings that guide individuals in their behavior and decision-making to align with the beliefs and values of their faith or morality.
Religious and moral education are not necessarily identical, although they are of course related. In a multi-faith approach, you would choose several major faiths, probably including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and perhaps either ancient paganism or modern alternative religions, and allocate roughly equal time to teaching each. There is no requirement that any one religion should be taught first, and objectivity can be demonstrated by avoiding giving apparent priority to your own faith. You would probably introduce the syllabus by describing and comparing all the major religions to be covered and emphasising that rational people hold very different beliefs, or even do not have religious beliefs at all. When covering each faith you will try to be as neutral and objective as possible, neither proselytising one, nor disparaging another with remarks like 'myths', 'idols' or any suggestion that thinking people could not follow this religion. Your objective should be that people have learnt about different faiths but have not changed their views as to which faith, if any, is actually true. In moral education you should emphasise that all religions teach essentially the same great moral truths. Ethical behaviour should be taught because it is the right thing to do. This approach is more likely to result in life-long commitment to ethics than a religion-based approach, which does not seem to work as well. Also avoid a heavy emphasis on moral issues that have religion at their core.
Jesus's first teacher was his mother, Mary. She would have taught him about their faith, traditions, and provided him with moral guidance as he grew up.
People can hold religious beliefs and moral beliefs, in fact many do. But it is also possible to follow a religion without holding any strong moral principles, or to hold to a moral belief system without having any religious beliefs. Some ancient religions were little concerned with moral principles, as long as the gods were worshipped properly. Even today, some Christians believe that moral failings or sins will be forgiven as long as they believe, arguably making moral principles optional. __________________- Here is a useful way to think of the difference. Religion is a set of practices, and it can be reasonably independent of belief system or faith. For example, religion involves the manner in which you worship, if you choose to worship. Do you attend a church or other house of worship regularly? Are you a member of the fellowship that you attend? What are the rituals used? What is the order of worship? (The things that go on during a service including use of music, various kinds of postures or gestures while worshiping, teaching and/or preaching based on a set of special texts, etc. Some people have engaged in religious worship for years without giving much thought to faith, or to the beliefs that support a fellowship's religion. A moral belief system can be based on faith or related to religious practice, but it can also be independent of religion and faith. It has to do with what a society considers to be acceptable behavior and acceptable positions to hold regarding most aspects of life, inter-action and relationships. __________________- Religion is doing what you are told regardless of what is right, morality is doing what is right regardless of what you are told. The two couldn't be further apart, especially considering just how immoral the main religions such as Christianity are.
He thought that it was a moral issue
A moral issue can be described as an issue that involves a difference of belief or principle and not a matter of preference. What is moral also changes from society to society hence the difficulty at determining what is universally moral.
