A Look at the Vatican's Compendium of Social Doctrine

"Truth? What is Truth?" takes a look at authentic Catholic Social Teaching (CST). While there have been attempts to use CST to downplay sanctity of life concerns, the Vatican's "Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church" offers absolutely no support for such!

As per Pope John Paul II, "The inviolability of the person, which is a reflection of the absolute inviolability of God, finds its primary and fundamental expression in the inviolability of human life. Above all, the common outcry, which is justly made on behalf of human rights -- for example, the right to health, to home, to work, to family, to culture -- is false and illusory if the right to life, the most basic and fundamental right and the condition of all other personal rights, is not defended with maximum determination" (The Vocation and the Mission of the Lay Faithful in the Church & in the World, 1988).
