Papa: a dignidade humana é dom de Deus, não depende de capacidades ou riquezas

Pope Leo XIV said during a general audience on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, that human dignity is a gift from God that does not depend on a person's wealth or abilities.

The Pope dedicated his catechesis to the dignity of the human person, a topic found in the first chapter of the Second Vatican Council document Gaudium et Spes. He urged people to commit to promoting and defending this dignity through the light and strength of the Gospel.
