Leon XIV: Wartość człowieka nie zależy od jego zdolności ani wyborów

In brief

Pope Leo XIV stated that a person's value does not depend on their abilities or the choices they make. Speaking on the importance of human dignity, the Pope noted that while recognizing personal dignity and its resulting rights is one of history's greatest achievements, the process remains unfinished.

The Pope explained that according to Church teaching, dignity comes from the very existence of a person. He observed that the modern world continues to struggle with old and new contradictions that prevent the full respect of human beings.
