Dignity
"It is by responding to the call of God contained in the being of things that the person becomes aware of her transcendent dignity. Every individual must give this response, which constitutes the apex of his humanity, and no social mechanism or collective subject can substitute for it. The denial of God deprives the person of his foundation, and consequently leads to a reorganization of the social order without reference to the person's dignity and responsibility."
- John Paul II, Centesimus Annus
