The Church says that all human life is special and that the dignity of each person is the basis for a just society. This belief is at the heart of all the Church’s teaching about how to live.
The YCW believes that every person is precious, that people are more important than material things, and that all our rules, laws, organisations and practices in society, should exist only to improve the life and dignity of people, and should never threaten it.

At this time of great difficulty and hurt for many of our black brothers and sisters, we renew our commitment to this worthy cause and express our solidarity with those who peacefully protest against injustice.
