Dignidad del hombre en la Gaudium et Spes

In this essay we will show how the Second Vatican Council states its anthropology through its Pastoral Constitution Gaudium et Spes, that is to say, that of the Church, the Bible, the revealed. Through careful analysis of the key points in this paper we will rescue as primary and relevant to humanity acknowledgement the fact that the man needs Christ to enlighten his existence, affected by incomprehensible and demanding changes, and for the sake of history, the place for God’s revelation and human response. Understanding of the Providence and making clear that man is loved as image and God’s child, not only gives unity and balance to the human being, but becomes a fulcrum to interpret all the problems that constantly challenge men, those which through atheism -theoretical or practicalhave no solution.
