The development of people, rights and duties, the environment

Chapter 4
Reminder from the encyclical

“Rights presuppose duties, if they


are not to become mere licence.”
( CV 43)
Two problems today with regard to
rights and duties
 There are those who make an appeal to rights
, which are arbitrary and non-essential in
nature and they demand that they be
recognized.
 Then there are basic rights which are
basically ignored.
The result

 Individual rights when detached from the


framework of duties can run wild
Church teaching on RIGHTS

 1. They come from the fact that we are


created in God’s IMAGE.
 2. They are inviolable
 3. They are not granted by institutions but
they are part of human nature
