Violation of PHL 5
Characteristics of Human Persons
1. Discrimination: open, relational
Discrimination violates being open and relational because one is looking down or disrespecting
another person. He/she is not being with, by or for the other person and there is a mentality of
superiority against others therefore there is no openness and relation.
2. Smoking: embodied spirit
Every time a person smokes, he/she is slowly killing himself/herself. This violates that our body
is the temple of the Holy Spirit and we are natural sacraments. Smoking is not taking care of our
body which is created by God.
3. Pornography: embodied spirit
Pornography speaks of impurity and unchasteness. It disrupts the purpose and meaning of sex
which is supposed to be in private and is an act of love for one's spouse. It violates that our
body is a temple of the Holy Spirit because pornography is directed towards stimulating erotic
pleasure for an individual's bodily needs.
4. Abortion: historical reality
Life starts when a sperm and egg meet which eventually becomes a fetus and develops which
proceeds to the natural stages of human life. It violates historical reality because it stops the
development stages of life which is created by God and each and everyone has a purpose
given by Him.
5. Envy: unique yet equal
Envy is when one thinks to need to have what another person has in order for them to be equal.
But this violates being unique at the same time equal because despite being unique in our own
ways, our equality is rooted on the truths of the dignity of human persons.
