2. United States Conference
of Catholic Bishops
The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is
sacred and that the dignity of the human person is
the foundation of a moral vision for society.
In our society, human life is under direct attack
from abortion and euthanasia. The value of human
life is being threatened by cloning, embryonic stem
cell research, and the use of the death penalty.
We believe that every person is precious, that
people are more important than things.
3. Catechism of the Catholic
Church
The dignity of the human person is rooted in His
creation in the image and likeness of God.(1700)
It is fulfilled in his vocation to divine beatitude
(1700)
It is essential to a human being freely to direct
himself (or herself) to this fulfillment.(1700)
Man is obliged to follow the moral law, which urges
him (or her) ‘to do what is good and avoid what is
evil’ (cf GS 16) This law makes itself heard in His
conscience.
