After all, the law of the land allowed it. What gave Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King the authority to lead a whole movement calling civil laws immoral and demanding new civil rights laws that recognized the equal dignity and worth of "all God s children" without exception? After all, segregation was legal. What gave the United Nations the moral authority to claim and designate absolute human rights in an international declaration, though some member nations were already violating them? Principles. First principles. In their founding documents, the United States and the United Nations recognized the principles that all men have inherent dignity and that they deserve equal rights. They both have declared those principles the conditions fundamental to freedom, justice, and peace. Yet both the United States and the United Nations have within them powerful political forces passing laws or resolutions that violate first principles and put at risk the most vulnerable populations. This book goes beyond the politics of pragmatism and cultural relativism to reacquaint the reader with first principles. It demonstrates what the Church has to say about the most important issues of our time and why. It anticipates the questions readers will ask and provides the answers they will need in the struggle to restore respect for human dignity. -- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Christian sociology $x Catholic Church. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85124218 650 0 $a Church and social problems $x Catholic Church. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85025530 650 0 $a Social justice $x Catholic Church. $x Catholic Church. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008000839 650 0 $a Social problems $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008111604 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213021911.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0DEA3CD6033A11E8972C924897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
