| Summary: | This work examines the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on Religious Liberty Dignitatis humanae, and it attempts to answer the question whether it contradicts previous Church teaching, especially that of the 19C popes. It addresses this question primarly through an analysis of the object, scope, and foundation of the right to religious liberty. It concludes that there is in fact no contradiction. That is, the right that Vatican II embraces is not the same as the one or ones that the 19C popes rejected, Moreover, it is not the case simply rthat Vatican II does not contradict thoese popes, but rather that it also affirms, reinforces, and even revivifies their teachings. In particular, the Declaration makes explicit the teaching on human integrity that was present - but sometimes remained implicit - in the 19 C papal pronouncements. in addition, the Declaration's teaching on the nature of the person as both individual and social is a warning against - and a corrective for - various false understandings of the human person. These errors about the person include both the totaliterian brutality that subsumes the individual entirely within the collective, and also the opposite type of fragmention, namely, the radical individualism that exalrts individual autonomy so inordinately that it leads to isolation, the impoverishment of social life, and an extinguishing of the sense of solidarity among persons. |
