What is man, that thou art mindful of him: and the son of man, that thou visitest him? (Psalm viii4) How do Anglican Catholics (and, indeed, very many other Christians!) understand God, Man and Love? We can only hold to what God has revealed about Himself in a Faith that has been given once to the saints. The purpose of this essay, then, is to explore the consequences of the dignity of being human in the light of the Catholic Principles. We show that we hold to traditional morality precisely because of the commandments to love God and neighbour, and that this traditional morality is a vehicle for freedom in God as opposed to the slavery to the world that progressive morality brings. We show that the Sanctity of Life is of fundamental importance in bringing our society back to a healthy state once more. We also seek ways in which we can all live in the same society as those with whom we profoundly disagree on the nature of sin. This first part will be concerned with setting up the central and general principles of morality.
