As my colleague Jeff Mirus has pointed out, there are strong points in Dignitas Infinita. But another friend, Robert Royal, has observed that with this document from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF), as with so many formal statements during this pontificate, what is good is not new, and what is new is not good. Take the title, for starters: “Infinite Dignity.” God has infinite dignity. Man does not. The distinction is important to maintain, even when we are defending human dignity.
