“All men and women are called to the same end: God himself. There is a certain resemblance between the union of the divine persons and the solidarity that men and women are to establish among themselves in truth and love. Love of neighbor is inseparable from love of God.”
—”Catechism of the Catholic Church, No. 1878 (with gender language modifications)
