Being made in God’s image is<\/span><\/h5>\n

Human Dignity is an Unalienable Right.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“No one can take away this human right,”\u00a0(Centesimus Annus, 9)<\/a>…not even the majority of a democratic political body, because this dignity does not arise from the state or the will of the governed.<\/p>\n

This concept is the core of Catholic Social Teaching going back to its earliest articulation by Pope Leo XIII in 1891:\u00a0“No man may with impunity outrage that human dignity which God Himself treats with great reverence.”\u00a0(Rerum Novarum, 40)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

St. Gregory of Nyssa, a 4th century Church Father, said: “God did not make the heavens in his image, nor the moon, the sun, the beauty of the stars, nor anything else which you can see…You alone are made in the likeness of that nature which surpasses all understanding…Nothing in all creation can equal your grandeur.” In 1891 Pope Leo XIII declared that “the State is bound to protect natural rights, not to destroy them”\u00a0(Rerum Novarum, 51)<\/a>. Pope St. John Paul II \u200b(Centesimus Annus,\u00a017)<\/a> stated clearly that, “No one can take away this human right”, not even the majority of a democratic political body, because this dignity does not arise from the state or the will of the governed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Human Dignity is an Unalienable Right.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“No one can take away this human right,”\u00a0(Centesimus Annus, 9)<\/a>…not even the majority of a democratic political body, because this dignity does not arise from the state or the will of the governed.<\/p>\n

This concept is the core of Catholic Social Teaching going back to its earliest articulation by Pope Leo XIII in 1891:\u00a0“No man may with impunity outrage that human dignity which God Himself treats with great reverence.”\u00a0(Rerum Novarum, 40)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

St. Gregory of Nyssa, a 4th century Church Father, said: “God did not make the heavens in his image, nor the moon, the sun, the beauty of the stars, nor anything else which you can see…You alone are made in the likeness of that nature which surpasses all understanding…Nothing in all creation can equal your grandeur.” In 1891 Pope Leo XIII declared that “the State is bound to protect natural rights, not to destroy them”\u00a0(Rerum Novarum, 51)<\/a>. Pope St. John Paul II \u200b(Centesimus Annus,\u00a017)<\/a> stated clearly that, “No one can take away this human right”, not even the majority of a democratic political body, because this dignity does not arise from the state or the will of the governed.<\/span><\/p>\n

A: \u201cThe guiding principle\u2026 of all the Church\u2019s social doctrine is a correct view of the human person\u201d. (Pope St. John Paul II, 11)<\/a><\/p>\n

This means an understanding of each person\u2019s unique value. All Catholic social teaching flows from this \u2013 the inherent dignity of every person that comes from being made in God\u2019s image. It is in this beginning that human rights are grounded.<\/p>\n

Why is this important?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs one created in the image of God, each individual human being has the dignity of a person;<\/em>\u00a0he or she is not just something but someone, free, self-giving and entering into communion with others.\u201d\u00a0(Pope Benedict XVI, 2007 World Day of Peace Message, December 8, 2006, 2)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Incarnation reveals to us, with intense light and in a surprising way, that every human life has a very lofty and incomparable dignity.\u201d\u00a0(Pope Benedict XVI, Prayer for nascent human life, November 27, 2010)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIn comparison with all the other living beings that populate the earth man has an unmistakable originality. He lives simultaneously in both the spiritual and corporal dimension\u2026We are therefore spirit, soul and body. We are part of this world, tied to the possibilities and limitation of our material condition, while at the same time we are open to an infinite horizon, able to converse with God and to welcome him within us\u201d\u00a0(Pope Benedict XVI, Prayer for nascent human life, November 27, 2010)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cGod loves us deeply, totally and without making distinctions. He calls us to friendship with him, he makes us part of a reality beyond every imagination and every thought and word: his divine life itself. With feeling and gratitude, let us be aware of the value of every human person\u2019s incomparable dignity and of our great responsibility.\u201d\u00a0(Pope Benedict XVI, Prayer for nascent human life, November 27, 2010)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

A: \u201cToday, perhaps more persuasively and with more effective means than in the past, human dignity is threatened by aberrant ideologies, assailed by the misguided use of science and technology, and contradicted by widespread incongruent lifestyles\u2026 Moreover, propaganda and the growing acceptance of disordered lifestyles contrary to human dignity are weakening the hearts and minds of people.<\/p>\n

All this represents a threat to humanity, because peace is in danger when human dignity is not respected…any offense to the person is a threat to peace; any threat to peace is an offense to the truth of the person: The human person is the heart of peace\u2019.\u201d\u00a0(Pope Benedict XVI, Communiqu\u00e9 Announcing the theme of 40th World Peace Day, July 13, 2006)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Catholic social teaching is built on three foundational principles –\u00a0<\/strong>Human Dignity<\/strong>,\u00a0Solidarity\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Subsidiarity.\u00a0<\/strong>Human Dignity, embodied in a correct understanding of the human person, is the greatest. The others flow from it. Good governments and good economic systems find ways of fostering the three principles.<\/p>\n

This means a correct understanding of the human person and of each person\u2019s unique value. All Catholic social teaching flows from this: the inherent dignity of every person that comes from being made in God\u2019s image.\u00a0<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide heading=”Solidarity” button_link=”\/solidarity\/” image=”https:\/\/capp-usa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Solidarity.png” use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ header_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#ffffff” button_on_hover=”on” link_option_url=”\/solidarity\/” custom_css_slide_image=”width: 200px !important;||margin: 0 auto !important;” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n

Solidarity is not \u201ca feeling of vague compassion or shallow distress at the misfortunes of others. It is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good\u201d. (Pope St. John Paul II, 38)<\/a> Love of God and love of neighbor are, in fact, linked and form one, single commandment.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide heading=”Subsidiarity” button_link=”\/subsidiarity\/” image=”https:\/\/capp-usa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Subsidiarity.png” use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ header_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#ffffff” button_on_hover=”on” link_option_url=”\/subsidiarity\/” custom_css_slide_image=”width: 200px !important;||margin: 0 auto !important;” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n

Subsidiarity \u201cis a fundamental principle of social philosophy, fixed and unchangeable, that one should not withdraw from individuals and commit to the community what they can accomplish by their own enterprise and industry. So, too, it is an injustice and at the same time a grave evil and a disturbance of right order to transfer to the larger and higher collectivity functions which can be performed and provided for by the lesser and subordinate bodies\u201d. (Pope Pius XI)<\/a><\/p>\n
