... RE Coursework 1. Explain what the Roman Catholic Church teaches and believes about prejudice and discrimination. I will start by giving the definitions of prejudice and discrimination and giving examples of both of them. Prejudice can be described as the prejudgement of a person with no knowledge of, or about them. For example calling a person homosexual because they like things that in your eyes a heterosexual person wouldn't like is prejudice. Discrimination can be described as the exclusion of a person because they are different. For example a male suggesting that a female cannot play football simply because she is female is discrimination. The Catholic Church believes that prejudice and discrimination are wrong and show this in many bible readings such as The Good Samaritan in which the most unexpected man that could possibly help the man on the side of the road does so and pays for his hospital fees
