The_Human_Condition

The Human Condition The title of the document is known as “The Human Condition.” It was written on August 12, 1950 by Pope Pius XII. It was written about false opinions threatening to undermine the foundations of catholic doctrine. The catholic people during this time, were starting to form their own ideas about Catholicism. This caused a huge problem between church leaders and their parishes because they simply did not take the Bible seriously and did not believe or have faith in the many things Catholics are called to believe. There were many things happening during this time that may have caused many Catholics to change their beliefs such as the Korean War and the Cold War. Both wars were causing an immense amount of bloodshed and many Americans were thinking about how the wars would affect America and God’s plan. The 1950’s was also a time for individual thinking and humanist ideas. This caused Catholics to question every aspect of their daily lives including religion. There are four major aspects of this document. The Pope used these points to attempt making a point to Catholics everywhere about their faith. The first major point is that humans today easily persuade themselves in matters that they do catholic, god, believe, world, humans, faith, human, point, life, about, time, catholics, take, religious, pope, place, people, own, major, good, each, document, doctrine, concrete, causes, caused, belief, without, wars, war, unless, truthful, today, thought, thinking
