    The church gives emphasis to the poor because they are most in need of support for their essential needs. The church serves as a foundation for the poor to keep their faith and strive in life, providing hope and guidance from God. The virtues of the poor, like Jesus, include detachment from possessions and profound trust in God as the sole source of salvation. The "Church of the poor" refers to being accessible to all, not just the economically poor. It aims to be more humane and realistic, not thinking highly of itself, so that people are not afraid to engage with it. It also aims to tackle privilege and comfort, reminding both the privileged and those in need to live simply and focus on spiritual needs.

    CORONA PORTFOLIO

    Why does the church give emphasis to the poor? Is poverty desirable? What virtues are
    there in being a poor?
    The church gives emphasis to the poor because they are the people who are more in need of
    support when it comes to their essential needs may it be intangible or tangible. They are the one
    who needs support more especially from the church, the church will be their foundation in
    keeping their faith and to strive harder in life. The church will be a symbol of hope and guidance
    that God is and will be with them every step of the way. The virtues that are instilled in the poor
    is the same virtue that we see in Jesus, Jesus being one of our role models in church all of us
    especially the poor inherits the virtues that Jesus possesses.

    Read and summarize : church of the poor, dialogue with the poor. Question : What is the
    church of the poor
    From the PCP-II document church of the poor is “A Church that embraces and practices the
    evangelical spirit of poverty which combines detachment from possessions with a profound trust
    in the Lord as the only source of salvation… A Church [that] will courageously defend and
    vindicate the rights of the poor and the oppressed even when doing so will mean alienation or
    persecution from the rich and powerful… A Church where nobody is so poor as to have nothing
    to give, and nobody so rich as to have nothing to receive.”

    The “Church of the poor” is not the poor that we thought of as poverty, the word poor is a
    metaphor for “all”. The church of the poor made the church more humane and realistic, meaning
    they are more easily to reach out with and they are not a church who thinks highly of
    themselves where people are too afraid to attach with. The church of the poor does not only
    tackle “poverty” itself but it is also for those who are privileged and comfortable. The church of
    the poor reminds us of our brothers and sisters who are in need of help at the same time
    reminds ourselves to detach from our materialistic ways and live a life that is simple and also
    focus on our spiritual needs.
    Definition of terms​ ​websites used to define these terms are in the sources (last page of this paper)
    a. Climate emergency : The term “climate emergency” has been championed by climate
    activists and pro-climate action politicians seeking to add a sense of urgency to the way
    we respond to what is a long-term problem
    b. Climate change : ​Climate change is the global phenomenon of climate transformation
    characterized by the changes in the usual climate of the planet (regarding temperature,
    precipitation, and wind) that are especially caused by human activities. As a result of
    unbalancing the weather of Earth, the sustainability of the planet’s ecosystems is under
    threat, as well as the future of humankind and the stability of the global economy.
    c. Ecological citizenship : Ecological citizenship is presented as an example and inflection
    of post-cosmopolitan citizenship. It is contrasted with environmental citizenship. The
    ecological footprint is presented as the ecological citizenship's version of political space,
    and global warming is used to exemplify the asymmetrical relations of globalising
    cause-and-effect that call forth post-cosmopolitan obligations.
    d. Global warming : Global warming, the phenomenon of increasing average air
    temperatures near the surface of Earth over the past one to two centuries
    e. Renewed integral ecology : ​Integral ecology is a key concept in chapter four of Laudato
    Si’, Pope Francis’ encyclical on the environment. It flows from his understanding that
    “everything is closely related” and that “today’s problems call for a vision capable of
    taking into account every aspect of the global crisis.”

    documentary of api ako sa apeco : reflection


    a. Is poverty a divine punishment?
    Poverty is not a divine punishment because nobody deserves to be punished. God also does
    not want us to suffer, we know God as someone “who” is compassionate and we believe that
    suffering is not a “punishment” from Him but instead it's something to strengthen us or maybe a
    test of faith in believing in Him. God has always a plan for us but it is up to us if we believe in
    Him and do our part. In today’s setting poverty is not seen as a divine punishment but instead it
    is due to capitalism and the lack of support of the government. Through capitalism poverty also
    rises, we see big corporations taking advantage of the poor people by not giving them any
    contract to be regularized, giving them underwage salaries, no benefits such as (SSS, PAG
    IBIG) and the like.
    b. Cite and reflect a specific teaching of jesus in the gospel that you can use to effect
    justice for the poor
    From my answer in the first part a verse that i could relate to this is “when he saw the crowds,
    he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a
    shepherd” from Matthew 9:36 because the sheep without a shepherd is symbolized as the
    people who are victimized by capitalism. They were “harassed” by the capitalists who are taking
    advantage of them with their below minimum wages and they are “helpless” because they have
    no one to ask help from. Even though they were going through something God still looked at
    them with compassion, this is a reminder that God did not choose to punish these people
    instead this is an effect of self-centered and insensitive people.

    Unit 3 lesson 3
    a. Reflect on the plight of the poor and the rich in the philippines today amid the
    outbreak of the coronavirus
    The coronavirus greatly affected each and every one of us, especially the poor. It is an absolute
    struggle for them since they get below minimum wage meaning they don’t have any spare
    money to use during this lockdown. Another case why it is a struggle for them ics because most
    of them are not regular from their work which means they are not receiving any benefits where
    in they can loan money during times like this, they are also exempted from having benefits from
    the government from the company that they are working because they’re not regulars yet. The
    government may give them allowance and food but it is not enough to fit it in 1-2 weeks. For the
    rich it may be a blessing for them to have a time off in this pandemic, some of them are too
    detached from reality while some are still trying to reach out to the poor and needy.

    b. “The image of the earth is the image of God too”


    The image of earth is the image of God too because it reflects our actions. Through the image
    of earth and God we can see how and what type of people we are, we can see how
    irresponsible we are and insensitive. If we are irresponsible and insensitive we tend to be
    distant with God making the image of the earth dirty and messy.
