"...Christians and non-Christians face the same moral questions, and ... both must see their solution in genuinely human reflection and according to the same norms; eg., whether adultery and premarital intercourse are morally right or can be so, whether the wealthy nation of the world must help the poor nations and to what extent, whether birth control is justified an should be provided, an what types of birth control are worthy of the dignity of the human person. Such questions are questions for all of humanity. If, therefore, our church and other human communities do not always reach the same conclusions, this is not due to the fact that there exists a different morality for Christians from that for non-Christians."
