The document is commendable for rejecting gender ideology, euthanasia, and abortion. However, it wrongly claims that humans have "infinite dignity," which contradicts logic and divine revelation. Only God is infinite by nature. This idea blurs the distinction between Creator and creature, a concept promoted since the French Revolution.

First, we must acknowledge that the document is generally good because it explicitly rejects gender ideology, as well as other immoral issues prevalent in our current time and society, such as euthanasia, abortion, and similar topics. For this, we should be grateful, just, and give thanks to God.

However, the title itself, "infinite dignity," is simply wrong, and we cannot accept this description of the human person as having infinite dignity. First and foremost, it contradicts logic. It also contradicts divine revelation, because only God is infinite by definition; this is part of God's nature. Therefore, we cannot, without qualifications or clarifications, claim that human nature or the human person has infinite dignity.

To do so would mean placing the human being on the same level as God. This reflects a modern tendency to blur the distinction between the Creator and the creature, or to elevate man to the status of God, granting him divine qualities. This trend, rooted in ideologies like those promoted during the French Revolution and by Freemasonry, aims to ascribe to man the qualities of God particularly the ability to determine what is good and evil, true and false. Now, this document seems to assign to human beings, creatures, the quality of being "infinite," a quality that belongs exclusively to God. This is simply wrong and cannot be accepted. It is confusing.

The distinction between the Creator and the creature should, at the very least, be acknowledged in some way. However, stating outright that the human being has infinite dignity is incorrect and contrary to divine revelation, which teaches that the human being is limited and came from nothing.
