“…in Irenaeus’ teaching, the dignity of man, body and soul, is firmly anchored in divine creation, in the image of Christ and in the Spirit’s permanent work of sanctification. This doctrine is like a “high road” in order to discern together with all people of good will the object and boundaries of dialogue of values and to give an ever new impetus to the Church’s missionary action, to force the truth which is the source of all true values in the world”. – Pope Benedict XVI
