key messages for young people from a Christian vision of love and relationships
3. God loves all people as his children. You are called to show respect for all people, even when their views and actions, their values and beliefs, are different from your own.

"Man and woman have been created, which is to say willed by God: on the one hand, in perfect equality as human persons; on the other, in their respective beings as man and woman. 'Being man' or 'being woman' is a reality which is good and willed by God: man and woman possess an inalienable dignity which comes to them immediately from God their Creator. Man and woman are both with one and the same dignity 'in the image of God'. In their 'being-man' and 'being-woman', they reflect the Creator's wisdom and goodness." (CCC, no.369)
