15   What vision of human dignity and solidarity does the Church contribute?

The Church contributes to the political order her vision "of the dignity of the person revealed in all its fullness in the mystery of the Incarnate Word" (CA, 47). This vision includes the truth: that the human person has been created unto the image of God and has an eternal destiny of unending happiness with God; that, having fallen into sin, the human person has been redeemed by God and absolutely needs God's grace for salvation; that Jesus Christ is God-made-man who shows by his human life how the human person must live and serve; that the equal dignity of all human beings brings them into solidarity in mutual love, justice, and service.
