Pacem In Terris

"But first We must speak of man's rights. Man has the right to live. He has the right to bodily integrity and to the means necessary for the proper development of life, particularly food, clothing, shelter, medical care, rest, and, finally, the necessary social services. In consequence, he has the right to be looked after in the event of ill health; disability stemming from his work; widowhood; old age; enforced unemployment; or whenever through no fault of his own he is deprived of the means of livelihood."

The encyclical, Pacem in Terris, on Establishing Universal Peace in Truth, Justice, Charity, and Liberty, by Pope John XXIII, 11 April, 1963, speaks of technological society and how we must harness it for our own benefit.  He pinpoints the disunity among men and nations and the order which must be restored.

Regarding man's moral and cultural rights, he said:   "Moreover, man has a natural right to be respected. He has a right to his good name. He has a right to freedom in investigating the truth, and—within the limits of the moral order and the common good—to freedom of speech and publication, and to freedom to pursue whatever profession he may choose. He has the right, also, to be accurately informed about public events."  

This is the beginning of a right order among men;  we must recognize that:  "Any well-regulated and productive association of men in society demands the acceptance of one fundamental principle: that each individual man is truly a person. His is a nature, that is, endowed with intelligence and free will. As such he has rights and duties, which together flow as a direct consequence from his nature. These rights and duties are universal and inviolable, and therefore altogether inalienable."
