AB The Catechism of the Catholic Church starts its third part treating morals in categories of the salvation of the individual soul. Scolastic terms are dominating the language. But in the following chapters the Catechism outlines its social ethics from a theological point of view that leads to anthropologico-ethical consequences of two orders: 1) against materialistic totalitarism, the relationship to God affirms the spiritual dignity of the human person; 2) against the individualistic theory of freedom proper to Western society, the solidarity of the Trinity becomes the basis for the authentic fulfillment of the person as an intersubjective being. The question nevertheless is of knowing whether the categories of this design are concrete enough for resolving the problem of protecting the irreducible dignity of human life in modern world. The present conflict between the idea of personal emancipation and the lack of solidarity in todays society doesn't need an abstract answer but a theology of history which shows the humanizing nearness of the God of the history of salvation.
