II. Respect for the Dignity of Persons
2289
If morality requires respect for the life of the body, it does not make it an
absolute value.
It rejects a neo-pagan notion that tends to promote the cult of the body, to
sacrifice everything for it’s sake, to idolize physical perfection and success
at sports.
By its selective preference of the strong over the weak, such a conception can
lead to the perversion of human relationships.
