Q. 128. In what respect are all men equal? A. All men are equal in whatever is necessary for their nature and end. They are all composed of a body and soul; they are all created to the image and likeness of God; they are all gifted with understanding and free will; and they have all been created for the same end--God. Q. 129. Do not men differ in many things? A. Men differ in many things, such as learning, wealth, power, etc.; but these things belong to the world and not man's nature.

God made the world. Q. 131. What does "world" mean in this question? A. In this question "world" means the universe; that is, the whole creation; all that we now see or may hereafter see. Q. 132. {2} Who is God? A. God is the Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things. Q. 133. {3} What is man? A. Man is a creature composed of body and soul, and made to the image and likeness of God. Q. 134. Does "man" in the Catechism mean all human beings? |
