Truth is constrained by extra-mental reality but it is not reducible to a merely physical phenomenon.
humanity
Humans are made in the image of God, “as male and female He created them,” and therefore they have an inherent dignity.
natural order
Nature as Creation has an order intended by God which is both discoverable and normative.
freedom of conscience and law
Convictions of conscience cannot be coerced by external compulsion, but God’s eternal moral law is normative for all people even if not recognized as such.
