I think you're touching on a really important point here. I thought DI dabbled in some revisionist history in its defense of the Church's historical championing of human dignity. Now, I agree with David Hart's argument that the very the modern understanding of human dignity came out of Christianity. But pretending that the Church (from the hierarchy to lay people) has not repeatedly and utterly failed at times to live up to our understanding of human dignity only discredits our witness.
