Perhaps that is one acceptable sense in which one can understand human dignity. But if so, then that dignity will not be able to keep the reprobate from eternal punishment in hell.
Every human person is planned and willed by God to enter into communion with Him, with others, and with creation. Human dignity does not depend on a person’s abilities, wealth, or position in life, nor on the right or wrong choices made. Instead, it is a gift that precedes and

@pluant No, the Pope certainly cannot do whatever he pleases. Here is the difference between your position and mine: https://t.co/G2X8Ea7HoN https://t.co/OSJWhIMsQc
@OTSOTA 'Quo Primum' is not unchangeable: https://t.co/94PGJmOtCO
