>>> This human development must be inspired by truth, in this case, the truth about humanity. Pursuit of this truth reveals that each human being possesses absolute worth; therefore, authentic human development is predicated on a radical defense of life. <<<
Since when does “each human being possess absolute worth”? Did Judas Iscariot? I’ve looked at the encyclicals of BXVI and JPII, and cannot find these words expressed anywhere therein. A Catholic friend of mine assures me that they are NOT in the Catholic catechism. Is this some tidbit of Catholic folklore that pretends to be orthodox?
The catechism has been made as elastic as has the Constitution of the United States.
Evil and revisionism surrounds us.
