According the Church, there is an awareness of the sublime dignity of the human person, who stands above all things and whose rights and duties are universal and inviolable. Every human being was created in God’s image, possessing within the capability of choosing freely and responding to and becoming good. Any human society, if it is to be well ordered and productive, must lay down as a foundation this principle: Every human being is a person, that is, his nature is endowed with intelligence and free will. The function of law then, according the Church, is to permit a citizen to make

“It is not possible to understand the human person on the basis of economics alone, nor to define the person simply on the basis of class membership. A human being is understood in a more complete way when situated within the sphere of culture through language, history, and the position one takes towards the fundamental events of life, such as birth, love, work, and death.”(§24).

The success of the Iraqi nation as a democratic one will also rely on the faith and trust of its citizens, not only in themselves but in their country. As John Paul II had said, “Faith not only helps people find solutions; it makes even situations of suffering humanly bearable, so that in these situations people will not become lost or forget their dignity.” (§59). I believe the largest obstacle in implementing the Church’s vision not to be one of tangibility. I see the largest obstacle as being inherent in each citizen: their faith. Faith is found at the heart of any religion. “(T)he various religions, now and in the future, will have a preeminent role . . . in building a society worthy of humanity.”(§59) For any religion to exist, can only be through faith. That is why I believe this is the largest obstacle because if a nation sees such tyranny and hardships and loose faith, a ‘society worthy of humanity’ might not be possible with out the help from others. With help from secure nations, others too can establish a stable democratic government and a free-market economy.
