Youcat commented through CCC – Question n. 333 – Part VII.
(Youcat answer - repeated) If people
are to do good and avoid evil, certainty about what is good or evil must be
inscribed within them. In fact there is such a moral law that is, so to speak, “natural”
to men and can be known in principle by every person by reason.
A
deepening through CCC
(CCC 1960) The precepts of natural law are
not perceived by everyone clearly and immediately. In the present situation
sinful man needs grace and revelation so moral and religious truths may be
known "by everyone with facility, with firm certainty and with no
admixture of error" (Pius XII, Humani
generis: DS 3876; cf. Dei Filius
2: DS 3005) The natural law provides revealed law and grace with a foundation
prepared by God and in accordance with the work of the Spirit.
Reflecting
and meditating
(Youcat comment) The natural
moral law is valid for everyone. It tells men what fundamental rights and
duties they have and thus forms the real foundation for life together in the
family, in society, and in the State. Because our natural knowledge is often
troubled by sin and human weakness, a person needs God’s help and his
Revelation in order to stay on the right path.
(CCC
Comment)
(CCC 1978) The natural law is a
participation in God's wisdom and goodness by man formed in the image of his
Creator. It expresses the dignity of the human person and forms the basis of
his fundamental rights and duties.
