Rights and Responsibilities

Rights and Responsibilities

Basic: God wants us to help make sure everyone is safe and healthy and can have a good life.

More: The Catholic tradition teaches that human dignity can be protected and a healthy community can be achieved only if human rights are protected and responsibilities are met. Therefore, every person has a fundamental right to life and a right to those things required for human decency. Corresponding to these rights are duties and responsibilities–to one another, to our families, and to the larger society.
