Paragraph 2273 of the Second Edition English Translation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1997) states, "The inalienable rights of the person must be recognized and respected by civil society and the political authority. These human rights... belong to human nature and are inherent in the person by virtue of the creative act from which the person took his origin."
