TASK 1: Some of the sentences are completely incorrect, have the wrong punctuation and the wrong facts. Read through the paragraphs below and

Stewardship means looking after future generations.

The Catholic Church believes we are all stewards because God gifted us the world and gave us the responsibility of looking after it as it is written in Harry Potter 2 “The Lord God put man in the Garden of Eden to work the soil and take care of the garden”.

By looking after the environment we are ensuring future generations can destroy it and ensuring that global warming doesn’t create extreme weather that may impact the lives of people and animals today. Being a good steward meaning following Jesus’s teaching of the Greatest Commandment; “love yourself”.

In 2013, Pope Sarah wrote a letter (encyclical) to the world called L’audato Si which means “caring for our common home. He believes we must look after the world because it is our common home gifted to us by God and belongs to everyone.

B) Describe Catholic beliefs about Stewardship [5

Marks]

Response 1

Catholics believe that God created the world for us to

care for.

When you read Genesis you can see that God expected

Adam and Eve to care for the world. He told them to

care about it.

Catholics also believe that we are meant to look after

the ‘fish in the sea’ and that means only eating fish on

a Friday. The more we can do to help the better people

we are.

Response 2

Firstly, Catholics believe that Genesis truly expresses

mankind's nature and responsibilities. They believe

that God outlines his expectations for humanity using

Adam and Eve. God ‘put man in the garden to work

it’ which implies that we (all people) should be caring

for the environment.

Second, Pope Francis said ‘that this is our common

home’ and we should all take care of it.. This means

that Catholics try to reduce, reuse and recycle to care

for the environment and encourage others to do the

same.
