#01 MediaBlog Podcast with Paul Osborne - Sandie Cornish and David G. Kirchhoffer talks about "On Human Dignity"

Season 2 · Episode 1

Monday, April 29, 2024 • Duration 23:11

‘Dignitas Infinita—On Human Dignity’ was released by the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on April 8, 2024. The declaration presents a survey and summary of the Church’s teaching on the concept of human dignity as a way of correcting certain misunderstandings that the Dicastery claims have emerged about the concept in recent years. It includes a series of reflections on issues that it sees as ‘grave violations’ of human dignity. It is arguably the first ‘summary’ of Catholic moral teaching issued by the Dicastery since the Instruction ‘gnitas Personae—on Certain Bioethical Questions’ in 2008. (From David Kirchhoffer's Eureka Street article Vatican invites global discussion on human dignity (eurekastreet.com.au))

The Australian Catholic University's Sandie Cornish and David Kirchhoffer talk to Paul Osborne from the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference about the document.

Episode Guests

Dr Sandie Cornish is a Senior Lecturer in Theology at Australian Catholic University and a Member of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. She specialises in Catholic social teaching, thought and action.
