Assessment Task 1: Quiz – Semester 2, 2022
Prescribed template for

students
In this quiz you will show your understanding of the principles of Catholic social thought, with reference to the prescribed resources. You will do this in the format of short responses to six quiz questions, using the prescribed template (which is
this
document).
All students will have 60 hours to submit their responses via Turnitin.
Therefore, the due date for this assessment task is: Sunday, 14 August 2022, 11:00pm AEST.
It is a requirement that you:
a) cite at least the following three readings/resources:
i. Lisa Sowle Cahill, “Catholic Social Teaching,” in The Cambridge Companion to Christian Political Theology, ed. Craig Hovey and Elizabeth Phillips (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2015) 67–87.

two
resources (e.g., LEO book, a linked article, reading (other than Cahill, 2015), a YouTube video, etc.) that are included in the LEO folder/tile for Module 1: Catholic social thought principles (NB: two resources from LEO in total).
Further instructions:
a) This is an open-book quiz.
b) This is not a group exercise. You will complete your responses on your own.
c) The quiz will not be timed (i.e., you can complete the quiz in more than one sitting), but you will only have 60 hours to submit your responses to this task.
d) Students are required to use the prescribed template (which is
this
document) and upload their completed submission through Turnitin (i.e., we are not using the quiz technology in LEO for this assessment task).
Please note that once you have completed answering the six quiz questions, you will be required to save and submit this document through the ‘Assessment Task 1: Quiz’ Turnitin drop box for marking. You can find the Turnitin drop box in the ‘Assessment’ folder/tile on LEO.

If, in Cahill’s words, Catholic social teaching must continue “to grasp that the option for the poor has to become an option

the poor, framed from the poor’s perspective” (p. 83), how is this relevant to migrants to Australia from countries affected by civil/international conflict or natural disasters?
[NB: When we refer to “the poor’s perspective,” we’re referring to marginalisation broadly, which includes economic aspects, as well as health, employment, government assistance, etc.].
