Cardinal Cañizares said the panorama of modern culture manifests the need for a rereading of "Mulieris Dignitatem" in which John Paul II outlined the anthropological and theological roots of the truth of the human person -- man and woman.

"The human species, that has its origin in the calling into existence of the man and the woman, crowns the entire work of creation. Both are human beings in the same level," he continued. The biblical description also "speaks of God's institution of matrimony, in the beginning of the creation of man and woman, as an indispensable condition for the transmission of life.
