The ultimate goal is a full-bodied humanism. And does this not mean the fulfillment of the whole man and of every man? A narrow humanism, closed in on itself and not open to the values of the spirit and to God who is their source, could achieve apparent success, for man can set about organizing terrestrial realities without God. But "closed off from God, they will end up being directed against man. A humanism closed off from other realities becomes inhuman." Populorum progessio, 42
This new humanism...is all the more human since it does not worship man, but has a real and effective respect for human dignity and for the rights of human personality.
Jacques Maritain, True Humanism
