Description

Pope John Paul II will deservedly be remembered as one of the previous century's great champions of freedom. He championed the cause of all peoples oppressed by their governments, especially those nations enslaved behind the Iron Curtain. (1) He championed the cause of human rights, most especially the right of each person to immunity against certain wrongs--torture, intentional killing, and exploitation of various sorts. (2) John Paul II's encyclical Veritatis Splendor is justly regarded as a profound meditation on the deepest relation between human freedom and objective moral truth. (3) Pope John Paul II was no less committed to the cause of religious freedom. He was (as we shall explore below) a leader during the Second Vatican Council's development of its document on religious freedom, Dignitatis Humanae. (4) He often spoke in favor of the individual freedom that the religious quest requires, and even presupposes. (5) But John Paul II did not really develop, along either philosophical or theological lines, the doctrines of Dignitatis Humanae concerning the civil right of religious liberty, the whole complex of problems regarding religion and the state. (6) He was, moreover, almost silent about the most difficult question of meaning and interpretation in Dignitatis Humanae: whether it is ever morally licit for the state to affirm that Catholicism is true?
