Pope John XXlll, April 11, 1963 #41 Since women are becoming ever more conscious of their human dignity, they will not tolerate being treated as mere material instruments, but will demand rights befitting a human person both in domestic and public life... #44... if a person becomes conscious of rights, that person must
become equally conscious of duties. Thus the one who possesses certain
rights has likewise the duty to claim those rights as marks of dignity,
while all others have the obligation to acknowledge and respect those rights.
#61 ... if any government does not acknowledge rights or violates
them, it not only fails in its duty, but its orders completely lack juridical
force.
