Archbishop Chaput on Human Dignity
Here is an address delivered last night at the University of Pennsylvania by Philadelphia's (still relatively new) Archbishop Charles Chaput on human dignity. Drawing on, among others, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Hans Jonas, and the American Founders, Archbishop Chaput makes the argument that there is nothing distinctly (properly understood) Catholic about the respect for human dignity.

With all due respect to Bishop Chaput, the reason we can know for certain that "God suffused the whole Constitutional enterprise", is because the signed Declaration of Independence states that our UNalienable Right to Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness has been endowed to us from God and thus it is only logical to assume that the purpose of our UNalienable Rights, is what God intended.
