The Principles for a Charter of fundamental rights and responsibilities for Catholics were articulated by the Ordinary Synod of Bishops in 1971.  Its final document was entitled “Justice in the World.”

Importantly, the document preserves  the remaining core of a larger project commissioned by Paul VI at the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council.  It came to be known as the Lex Ecclesiae Fundamentalis (The Basic Law of the Church) and was meant to  stand alongside of Paul’s  Credo of the People of God. 

Together they were intended to capture Vatican II’s evangelical vision and mission of the Church and function as the moral principles that would inform the interpretation of Canon Law as well as provide a guide for the life and governance of the Church. 

The main theme are (compiled by ICRN) :

1. Primacy of Conscience
2. Right of Equality
3. Community
4. Universal Ministry
5. Freedom of Expression
6. Information
7. Sacraments
8. Family Status
9. Reputation
10. Governance
11. Social Justice
12. Participation
13. Due Process
14. Children
15. Freedom to Leave the Church

(Plse see document section for a full description of each theme)

Les principes d'une charte des droits fondamentaux et des responsabilités des catholiques ont été formulés par le Synode ordinaire des évêques en 1971.  Son document final était intitulé "Justice dans le monde".

Il est important de noter que ce document conserve le noyau restant d'un projet plus vaste commandé par Paul VI à l'issue du Concile Vatican II.  Il a été connu sous le nom de Lex Ecclesiae Fundamentalis (la Loi fondamentale de l'Église) et était censé s'inscrire dans le droit fil du Credo de Paul sur le peuple de Dieu. 

Ensemble, elles devaient refléter la vision évangélique et la mission de l'Église de Vatican II et servir de principes moraux pour l'interprétation du droit canonique et de guide pour la vie et la gouvernance de l'Église. 

Les thèmes principaux sont :

1. La primauté de la conscience
2. Droit à l'égalité
3. Communauté
4. Ministère universel
5. Liberté d'expression
6. Informations
7. Sacrements
8. Situation de famille
9. Réputation
