Mr. Danny Walsh presented on the differences between Catholic Social Teaching (CST) and Catholic Social Teaching Plus (CST+). You have the option of choosing one of these two classes for your junior year. If you have questions, please consult the course descriptions or schedule a meeting with Mr. Walsh. Both classes have a service-learning component.
Signs (def) are something that points to another reality and means what it signifies; the meaning is mostly fixed. For example, most people would interpret and understand a 'STOP' sign to mean only one thing = STOP.
Symbols (def) are multi-dimensional signs that point to another reality and manifest the reality to which they point. They are open to interpretation and can have multiple meanings. For example, something as simple as a kiss can manifest many different things to different people: love and affection, romance and seduction, greeting or farewell, betrayal and death, anger and frustration, or the rock band KISS.
SYMBOL OR SIGN?
