  • Right
    :
    That which someone has a just claim to. Some rights are God-given, fundamental to the human person, and common to all people. Other rights are given by government or civil authority, such as the right to vote, serve on juries, or to receive a public education. No one has a right to the Sacraments. They are gifts from Jesus to His Church to share in His divine life through visible signs. Therefore, some Sacraments, such as Holy Orders, are meant only for the people who are called to receive them. (1944, 1945, 1978)
