Dignitas Infinita ("Infinite dignity") is a 2024 declaration on Catholic doctrine that considers the meaning of, and contemporary challenges to, human dignity. The document was released by the Catholic Church's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and inspired by the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Summary edit
Clarify several traditional points of doctrine. Largely consistent with what came before. [1] Comparison to Fiducia Supplicans. [2]
Reception edit
American and Irish Catholics broadly accepted and appreciated the declaration. [3][4]
President Joe Biden supported the declaration's focus on protecting LGBTQ+ people from violence and imprisonment, but press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted that Biden was uninterested in dictating church policy.[5]
LGBTQ+ advocacy groups within the Church—including New Ways Ministry and the London Jesuit Centre—quickly denounced the document as outdated and harmful. Transgender activists criticized the document's usage of "sex reassignment" instead of "gender affirming" when discussing medical procedures related to gender transition.[5]
