Youcat commented through CCC - Question n. 61.
(Youcat
answer) All men are equal inasmuch as they have the same origin in the one
creative love of God. All men have their Savior in Jesus Christ. All men are
destined to find their happiness and their eternal blessedness in God.
A deepening through CCC
(CCC 361)
"This law of human solidarity and charity" (Pius XII, Summi Pontificatus, 3), without
excluding the rich variety of persons, cultures and peoples, assures us that
all men are truly brethren. 361
Reflecting and meditating
(Youcat comment) Hence
all men are brothers and sisters. Christians should practice solidarity not
only with other Christians but with everyone and forcefully oppose racist,
sexist, and economic divisions in the one human family.
(CCC Comment)
(CCC 360)
Because of its common origin the human
race forms a unity; for "from one ancestor [God] made all nations to
inhabit the whole earth" (Acts 17:26; cf. Tob 8:6): O wondrous vision,
which makes us contemplate the human race in the unity of its origin in God… in
the unity of its nature, composed equally in all men of a material body and a
spiritual soul; in the unity of its immediate end and its mission in the world;
in the unity of its dwelling, the earth, whose benefits all men, by right of
nature, may use to sustain and develop life; in the unity of its supernatural
end: God himself, to whom all ought to tend; in the unity of the means for
attaining this end;… in the unity of the redemption wrought by Christ for all
(Pius XII, encyclical, Summi Pontificatus
3; cf. NA 1).
