The document outlines the agenda for a class discussion that will: 1) Debrief a visit to a Center for the Homeless and define homelessness. 2) Apply Catholic social teaching from the visit, a video, and reading to analyze the relationship between justice and equality, with a focus on the Church's preference for the poor. 3) Include a self-assessment of student contributions and conclusions about justice for the poor and homeless.

Analyze the relationship between justice and equality in light of the Church¡¯s preference for the poor ? Self-Assessment (5 minutes) ? What did you contribute to class discussion today? ? From our visit to the Center and our discussion today of Catholic Social Teaching, what¡¯s the most important conclusion or question you take away about what justice demands for the poor and homeless?
Charity vs. Justice ¡°On the one hand we are called to play the good Samaritan on life's roadside; but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life's highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.
