CM3.1

show how our common human dignity is rooted in God (i.e., we are ‘imago Dei'), and why our essential qualities (e.g., rationality, free will, natural law, conscience) must be distinguished from accidental qualities (e.g., hair or skin colour, size, cultural background) in order to avoid unjust discrimination based on race, creed, sexual orientation, ability, mental health, etc. [CCC nos. 1700-1715; Aristotle De Anima, Metaphysics Book 7; Pacem in Terris par. 86-89]
