EQUALITY “God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Gen.1:27). God blows into his nostrils the breath of life (Gen. 2:7). Therefore, “being in the image of God, the human individual possesses the dignity of a person, who is not just something, but someone. (CSDC # 108) HUMAN DIGNITY AND EQUALITY “The fidelity of the spouses in the unity of marriage involves reciprocal respect of their right to become a father and a mother only through each other. The child has the right to be conceived, carried in the womb, brought into the world and brought up within marriage: it is through the secure and recognized relationship to his own parents that the child can discover his own identity and achieve his own proper human development.” (DV, 35)
