La dignidad humana: don de Dios no es "objeto” del que se pueda disponer

In brief

The Pope stated that human dignity does not come from what a person owns, does, or is capable of achieving. According to Vatican News, dignity arises from being created in the image and likeness of God and being redeemed by Christ.

The Pope used the teachings of the document Gaudium et Spes to describe the human person as a gift from God rather than an object that can be used or disposed of. These teachings offer a perspective on human identity and how people are called to live with one another.
