From the Vatican: New Instruction on Bioethics

12/12/2008
...

Today the Vatican released Dignitas Personae (The Dignity of a Person; opens as PDF in new window), an instruction from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) on bioethics. Dignitas Personae is a "sequel" to the 1987 instruction Donum Vitae (On Respect for Human Life in its Origin and on the Dignity of Procreation).

The USCCB page on Dignitas Personae includes links to the document itself, a Vatican summary, a Q&A, and the USCCB press release.

From Our Founder

Genuine renewal is what CUF is ultimately seeking to further. And genuine renewal is, as Pope Paul has stressed again and again, an inner, personal, moral, and religious renewal; because there can be no genuine renewal in the Church except by the individual response of her members to the universal vocation to holiness. Many of our chapters have begun primarily as groups who come together to deepen their spiritual life and their knowledge of the Church-especially of the documents of Vatican II. It is astonishing how different they are from that cloudy �spirit of Vatican II� which is used so powerfully to undermine the Church.
