What they say about the DHI…

  • [Speaking of the need for the DHI] “We believe it is the responsibility of every person to promote human dignity, as human dignity is a gift from God, who gave it to us by creating us in His image and likeness. We must thank God for this gift, and we pray that everyone in the world respects the human person, his dignity, and consequently his human rights. In fact having the infinite value of every single person, without exception, recognized by everybody must be our common fervent prayer.” Cardinal Renato Martino
