Abstract

This article argues that the concern of the United States Catholic Church for the protection and promotion of human rights is a relatively recent issue, as it is also for North American society. Its attitude in this regard is guided by a central, local dimension –with their own positions based on their tradition and their environment– and a global one given by the experience that their contact with other realities of the world has given them, particularly in Latin America. All of the above, within the framework of the Vatican doctrine of human rights, has produced an interesting exchange between North American society and the experience of its Catholic Church in a mutual feeding and sensitization of these experiences, without forgetting the influence exerted, in addition, in the local churches where these missionaries have been assigned to act.
