A declaration on human dignity, five years in preparation and approved by Pope Francis, published on the nineteenth anniversary of the death of Saint John Paul II. Its first three sections trace the growing awareness of human dignity in Revelation and in the magisterium, distinguish ontological dignity — which belongs to every person inalienably — from moral, social and existential dignity, and ground it in the human person's creation in God's image and calling in Christ. The final section names thirteen grave violations of that dignity, among them poverty, war, the abuse of migrants, human trafficking, abortion, surrogacy, euthanasia, the death penalty, violence against women, and digital violence.
