The central argument of Robert Alexy’s thesis is developed, concerning the dual nature of Law that includes a real or factual dimension, and another, ideal or critical. This thesis is inconsistent with both the exclusive legal positivism and the inclusive legal positivism, and with some thesis of non-positivism in its extreme version. The dual nature of law expresses and justifies by Gustav Radbruch´s formula which states that the “extreme injustice is not Law” on the one hand, andby the argument of moral correctness on the other. As a result of this analysis, the definition of the Law is something that depends on social facts in what the Law should be.

The purpose of this paper is to stand out the qualities of a Catholic intellectual who came to embrace the faith after a long journey of relentless pursuit of truth, which looked with reverence and devoted to their service. Edith’s personality, her spirit deliver, coherence and responsibility, is the exact example for all contemporary Christian intellectual sincerely seeking the truth, not only by the natural use of reason, but also of the light coming from above Christian faith. Her testimony of wisdom, faith, courage and commitment, church transcends boundaries, radiating conscientiously seeking Truth, Beauty, Justice and Happiness.
