Cst/Ist – Individual Task 3 – 09/04/08
1) Define the term ‘moral integrity’.
Moral integrity means a complex and a delicate ethical notion.
2) Describe why Maximillian Koble is regarded as a Chirstian of exemplary moral integery.
The reason why Maximillian Koble is regarded as a Crhirstian of exemplary of moral integery because, he was a matyr and he died for that man who nearly died from starvation. And also he was imprisoned by the German Gestapo and he was transferred at Auschwitz in 25 May and he was prisoner number #16670.
3) Outline Maximillian ethical actions/principles that he demonstarted in Auschwitz.
Maximillian ehtical actions and principles when he demostarted in Auschwitz was that he died as an martyr, and he was the 20th-Century martyr. The reason why he replaced the soilder who is starving is because he said that he was old and useless, and comparing to Maximillian and the dying soilder that the dying soilder had a wife, and kids. And also he was young and he didn’t want to die so Maximillian replaced him. And the German soilders took granted of Miximillian’s actions. And also on the clip that he was moved to cell 13 and then they poisoned him. So therefore in my statment, he died as a martyr.
4) Evaluate whether you think he made the right decision and provide research to support your answer. i.e. Catholic teachings.
In my own point of opinion, Maximillian has made the right decision to die as a martyr. Because he was Christian and also, he made the monastery in japan. And also during the time when we was still in starvation he led the men in songs and prayer. Then after the 3 weeks, he was murdered with a injection of carbolic acid. Then he was canonized by Pope John Paul 2 on October 10, 1982.
