Catechism Paragraph

¶ 1959

The Natural law, the Creator's very good work, provides the solid Foundation on which man can build the structure of moral rules to guide his choices. It also provides the indispensable moral foundation for building the human Community. Finally, it provides the Necessary basis for the civil law with which it is connected, whether by a reflection that draws conclusions from its Principles, or by additions of a positive and juridical nature.
