Abstract

BAQUERO DE LA CALLE RIVADENEIRA, Jaime. The right to recognize your rights: Classical natural law as a safeguard against abuses of authority within the Catholic Church. Ius Humani [online]. 2023, vol.12, n.2, pp.120-137. ISSN 1390-7794.  https://doi.org/10.31207/ih.v12i2.334.

In recent years, authority within the Catholic Church has come under fire and has been accused of committing abuses on those under its responsibility. The reference to classical natural law can shed light on understanding this problem and propose a roadmap that proposes practical solutions. Respect for human dignity and freedom of conscience will be the cornerstones to guarantee an adequate and fair exercise of authority.

Keywords : natural law; dignity; conscience; authority.
