ResumoPope John Paul II will deservedly be remembered as one of the previous century’s great champions of freedom. He championed the cause of all peoples oppressed by their governments, especially those nations enslaved behind the Iron Curtain. He championed the cause of human rights, most especially the right of each person to immunity against certain wrongs — torture, intentional killing, and exploitation of various sorts. John Paul II’s encyclical Veritatis Splendor is justly regarded as a profound meditation on the deepest relation between human freedom and objective moral truth.
