32 2, 31 | 31. The human issues most frequently debated
33 2, 31 | ways, to a crucial issue: human freedom. ~Certainly people
34 2, 31 | observed, "the dignity of the human person is a concern of which
35 2, 31 | sense of the dignity of the human person and of his or her
36 2, 32 | about the good, knowable by human reason, is lost, inevitably

46 2, 36 | certainly never attempted to set human freedom against the divine
47 2, 36 | previously acknowledged by human reason and, concretely,
48 2, 36 | disregarding the dependence of human reason on Divine Wisdom
49 2, 36 | boundaries for a merely "human" morality; they would be
50 2, 36 | its source exclusively in human reason. In no way could
51 2, 36 | except in the sense that human reason exercises its autonomy
52 2, 37 | ethical order, which would be human in origin and of value for

55 2, 37 | the fundamental notions of human freedom and of the moral
56 2, 37 | to the rightful claims of human reason in a way which accepts
57 2, 38 | theological reflection on human freedom, which is described

71 2, 43 | nature but also the world of human persons — through man himself,
72 2, 43 | natural law enters here as the human expression of God's eternal
73 2, 44 | subordination of reason and human law to the Wisdom of God
74 2, 44 | since it is none other than human reason itself which commands
75 2, 44 | But this prescription of human reason could not have the
76 2, 45 | stone but on tablets of human hearts" (2 Cor 3:3); a law

82 2, 46 | include in the first place the human body, its make-up and its
83 2, 46 | product and result of freedom. Human nature, understood in this

89 2, 48 | particular the place of the human body in questions of natural
90 2, 48 | absolute ends up treating the human body as a raw datum, devoid

98 2, 50 | nature, the "nature of the human person",89 which is the

100 2, 50 | of absolute respect for human life are to be found in

133 2, 72 | divine laws which safeguard human good.Only the act in conformity
134 2, 72 | rational ordering of the human act to the good in its truth
135 2, 72 | constitute morality. Hence human activity cannot be judged

137 2, 73 | the deliberate ordering of human acts to God, the supreme
138 2, 74 | ensures this ordering of human acts to God? Is it the intention
139 2, 74 | concerned for the conformity of human acts with the ends pursued
140 2, 74 | pragmatism, where the morality of human acts would be judged without
141 2, 74 | principle accessible to human reason. Furthermore, such
142 2, 75 | values or goods involved in a human act would be, from one viewpoint,
143 2, 77 | intention and consequences of human action. Certainly there

145 2, 78 | also needed, is that the human act depends on its object,
146 2, 78 | the essential elements of human nature are respected. The
147 2, 78 | nature are respected. The human act, good according to its
148 2, 79 | judgment is the object of the human act, which establishes whether
149 2, 80 | there are objects of the human act which are by their nature "

151 2, 80 | violates the integrity of the human person, such as mutilation,
152 2, 80 | whatever is offensive to human dignity, such as subhuman
153 2, 80 | and so long as they infect human civilization they contaminate
154 2, 82 | God and "unworthy of the human person" are always and in
155 2, 82 | virtues. The moral quality of human acting is dependent on this
156 2, 82 | determination of the morality of human acting as stated above,
157 2, 82 | would be to the detriment of human fraternity and the truth
