VATICAN CITY, Nov 28 (LSN.ca) – In a meeting with Catholic legislators and judges Monday, Pope John Paul II stressed: “Law that is separated from the anthropological and moral foundations carries numerous dangers within it, as it subjects decisions to the pure arbitration of the persons who write it, without keeping in mind the incomparable dignity of one’s neighbor.” Zenit News reported that the pope met with the International Union of Catholic Jurists who are in Rome attending their plenary assembly.
The pope explained that law without moral foundations is why, “for many of our contemporaries, the right to life – primary and absolute right, which does not depend on positive law, but on the natural law and the dignity of every person – is unknown or underestimated, as if it were a disposable and nonessential right.”
