May we recognize the goodness and beauty that you have sown in each of us, and thus forge bonds of unity, common projects, and shared dreams. [226] Meeting with the Children of the “Bethany Centre” and Representatives of other Charitable Centres of Albania, Tirana, Albania (21 September 2014): Insegnamenti II, 2 (2014), 288. 67. Let us now return to the parable of the Good Samaritan, for it still has much to say to us. Here, all our distinctions, labels and masks fall away: it is the moment of truth. [106] This means finding a way to ensure “the fundamental right of peoples to subsistence and progress”,[107] a right which is at times severely restricted by the pressure created by foreign debt. [170] Benedict XVI, Encyclical Letter Caritas in Veritate (29 June 2009), 2: AAS 101 (2009), 642. The experience of being raised in a particular place and sharing in a particular culture gives us insight into aspects of reality that others cannot so easily perceive. Freedom thus becomes an illusion that we are peddled, easily confused with the ability to navigate the internet. Let us keep in mind that “not even a murderer loses his personal dignity, and God himself pledges to guarantee this”. Amid the fray of conflicting interests, where victory consists in eliminating one’s opponents, how is it possible to raise our sights to recognize our neighbours or to help those who have fallen along the way? For that is the temptation we face if we go down the road of disenchantment and disappointment… Isolation and withdrawal into one’s own interests are never the way to restore hope and bring about renewal. If society is to have a future, it must respect the truth of our human dignity and submit to that truth. For this reason, “care must be taken not to fall into certain errors which can arise from a misunderstanding of the concept of human rights and from its misuse. [158] Although misuse of power, corruption, disregard for law and inefficiency must clearly be rejected, “economics without politics cannot be justified, since this would make it impossible to favour other ways of handling the various aspects of the present crisis”. For us the wellspring of human dignity and fraternity is in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In this regard, I have made it clear that “I have no intention of proposing an irresponsible populism”. Let us not forget that “peoples that abandon their tradition and, either from a craze to mimic others or to foment violence, or from unpardonable negligence or apathy, allow others to rob their very soul, end up losing not only their spiritual identity but also their moral consistency and, in the end, their intellectual, economic and political independence”. What applies to nations is true also for different regions within each country, since there too great inequalities often exist. I sometimes wonder why, in light of this, it took so long for the Church unequivocally to condemn slavery and various forms of violence. Only one person stopped, approached the man and cared for him personally, even spending his own money to provide for his needs. [195] Message for the 2019 World Day of Peace (8 December 2018), 5: L’Osservatore Romano, 19 December 2018, p. 8. This is ultimately the idea behind the word “charity”: those who are loved are “dear” to me; “they are considered of great value”. Without it, subtle ways can be found to make others insignificant, irrelevant, of no value to society. This means working to create a many-faceted polyhedron whose different sides form a variegated unity, in which “the whole is greater than the part”. 121. We need to ensure that our institutions are truly effective in the struggle against all these scourges”. We should not expect everything from those who govern us, for that would be childish. This has concrete consequences that ought to be reflected in the workings of society. 189. Social aggression has found unparalleled room for expansion through computers and mobile devices. [46] They lack the physical gestures, facial expressions, moments of silence, body language and even the smells, the trembling of hands, the blushes and perspiration that speak to us and are a part of human communication. [279] We believers are challenged to return to our sources, in order to concentrate on what is essential: worship of God and love for our neighbour, lest some of our teachings, taken out of context, end up feeding forms of contempt, hatred, xenophobia or negation of others. This is how some justify their indifference: the poor, whose pleas for help might touch their hearts, simply do not exist. Yet each of them is able to offer “a unique contribution to the common good through their remarkable life stories”. Authentic reconciliation does not flee from conflict, but is achieved in conflict, resolving it through dialogue and open, honest and patient negotiation. What is needed is a model of social, political and economic participation “that can include popular movements and invigorate local, national and international governing structures with that torrent of moral energy that springs from including the excluded in the building of a common destiny”, while also ensuring that “these experiences of solidarity which grow up from below, from the subsoil of the planet – can come together, be more coordinated, keep on meeting one another”. [246] Cf. [182] PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR JUSTICE AND PEACE, Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, 208. Yet until substantial progress is made in achieving this goal, we are obliged to respect the right of all individuals to find a place that meets their basic needs and those of their families, and where they can find personal fulfilment. In this way, we will be able to grasp the abyss of evil at the heart of war. [208] Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia (19 March 2016), 100: AAS 108 (2016), 351. Nonetheless, there are attempts nowadays to reduce persons to isolated individuals easily manipulated by powers pursuing spurious interests. [175] Benedict XVI, Encyclical Letter Caritas in Veritate (29 June 2009), 2: AAS 101 (2009), 642. Solidarity is a word that is not always well received; in certain situations, it has become a dirty word, a word that dare not be said. [181] It follows that “it is an equally indispensable act of love to strive to organize and structure society so that one’s neighbour will not find himself in poverty”. It is remarkable how the various characters in the story change, once confronted by the painful sight of the poor man on the roadside. 55. For the communities and societies to which they come, migrants bring an opportunity for enrichment and the integral human development of all”. 152. Indeed, “civic life, structured around an organized community, needs rules of coexistence, the wilful violation of which demands appropriate redress”. [145] They may be troublesome, and certain “theorists” may find it hard to classify them, yet we must find the courage to acknowledge that, without them, “democracy atrophies, turns into a mere word, a formality; it loses its representative character and becomes disembodied, since it leaves out the people in their daily struggle for dignity, in the building of their future”.[146]. This does not mean impunity. ID., Address to the Roman Curia (21 December 1984), 4: AAS 76 (1984), 506. [250] PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR JUSTICE AND PEACE, Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, 402. It will not be so among you” (Mt 20:25-26). They have to learn how to cultivate a penitential memory, one that can accept the past in order not to cloud the future with their own regrets, problems and plans. 174. These were people holding important social positions, yet lacking in real concern for the common good. This constitutes a genuine scandal. Still, such an authority ought at least to promote more effective world organizations, equipped with the power to provide for the global common good, the elimination of hunger and poverty and the sure defence of fundamental human rights. The people walking by him did not heed their interior summons to act as neighbours; they were concerned with their duties, their social status, their professional position within society. In this case, I have felt particularly encouraged by the Grand Imam Ahmad Al-Tayyeb, with whom I met in Abu Dhabi, where we declared that “God has created all human beings equal in rights, duties and dignity, and has called them to live together as brothers and sisters”. It has to do with our daily efforts to expand our circle of friends, to reach those who, even though they are close to me, I do not naturally consider a part of my circle of interests. [144] In that sense, such movements are “social poets” that, in their own way, work, propose, promote and liberate. We must not lose our ability to listen”. [84] A truly human and fraternal society will be capable of ensuring in an efficient and stable way that each of its members is accompanied at every stage of life. Pope Francis’ 40,000 word encyclical Fratelli Tutti is the latest volley in the war for souls. It makes us uneasy, since we have no time to waste on other people’s problems. Faith has untold power to inspire and sustain our respect for others, for believers come to know that God loves every man and woman with infinite love and “thereby confers infinite dignity” upon all humanity. The previous chapter should not be read as a cool and detached description of today’s problems, for “the joys and hopes, the grief and anguish of the people of our time, especially of those who are poor or afflicted, are the joys and hopes, the grief and anguish of the followers of Christ as well. 118. In the power of the risen Lord, she wants to give birth to a new world, where all of us are brothers and sisters, where there is room for all those whom our societies discard, where justice and peace are resplendent. In this way, “what is thrown away are not only food and dispensable objects, but often human beings themselves”. [89], 116. 225. “Whoever loves a brother or sister lives in the light, and in such a person there is no cause for stumbling. A direct encounter even with the fringes of reality can thus prove intolerable. [18] Address to the Civil Authorities, Tirana, Albania (21 September 2014): AAS 106 (2014), 773. AN ABSENCE OF HUMAN DIGNITY ON THE BORDERS, 37. 139. [217], 232. The precise translation of the title has not yet been released in English. 201. As it peers into human nature, reason discovers universal values derived from that same nature. I would link this to life imprisonment… A life sentence is a secret death penalty”.[257]. Experts assure Catholics that getting Covid-19 vaccine is an ethical choice, 4. Indeed, the media’s noisy potpourri of facts and opinions is often an obstacle to dialogue, since it lets everyone cling stubbornly to his or her own ideas, interests and choices, with the excuse that everyone else is wrong. [164] Encyclical Letter Laudato Si’ (24 May 2015), 191: AAS 107 (2015), 923. [66] Karol Wojtyła, Love and Responsibility, London, 1982, 126. 8-17; M. ZALBA, S.J., Theologiae Moralis Summa.

The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.’ Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” He said, ‘The one who showed him mercy.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise.’”(Lk 10:25-37). 122. The different cultures that have flourished over the centuries need to be preserved, lest our world be impoverished. [43] Europe, for example, seriously risks taking this path. As silence and careful listening disappear, replaced by a frenzy of texting, this basic structure of sage human communication is at risk. One detail about the passers-by does stand out: they were religious, devoted to the worship of God: a priest and a Levite. [63] Gabriel Marcel, Du refus à l’invocation, ed. In the New Testament, while individuals are asked not to take justice into their own hands (cf. ENCYCLICAL LETTER FRATELLI TUTTI OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS ON FRATERNITY AND SOCIAL FRIENDSHIP. 82. Here, there can be a misunderstanding. Yet he was able to put all that aside when confronted with someone in need. Opening with a brief introduction and divided into eight chapters, … [38] For this reason, “there is also a need to reaffirm the right not to emigrate, that is, to remain in one’s homeland”.[39]. They result from a political manipulation of religions and from interpretations made by religious groups who, in the course of history, have taken advantage of the power of religious sentiment in the hearts of men and women… God, the Almighty, has no need to be defended by anyone and does not want his name to be used to terrorize people”. Indeed, “all things human are our concern… wherever the councils of nations come together to establish the rights and duties of man, we are honoured to be permitted to take our place among them”. They are called to practice love in their daily interpersonal relationships. There can be no racial, national, confessional or partisan differences”. Considerations of the encyclical in an anthropological and psychosocial key. My relationship with those whom I respect has to take account of the fact that they do not live only for me, nor do I live only for them. [219], 233. [218] Violent public demonstrations, on one side or the other, do not help in finding solutions. [66] For this reason, “man always has to take up the challenge of moving beyond himself”.[67]. Global society is suffering from grave structural deficiencies that cannot be resolved by piecemeal solutions or quick fixes. There is always the factor of “gratuitousness”: the ability to do some things simply because they are good in themselves, without concern for personal gain or recompense. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s foes will be members of his own household” (Mt 10:34-36). [120] BENEDICT XVI, Encyclical Letter Caritas in Veritate (29 June 2009), 67: AAS 101 (2009), 700. Intolerance and lack of respect for indigenous popular cultures is a form of violence grounded in a cold and judgmental way of viewing them. Even in Catholic media, limits can be overstepped, defamation and slander can become commonplace, and all ethical standards and respect for the good name of others can be abandoned”. In this context, we can better understand the significance of the parable of the Good Samaritan: love does not care if a brother or sister in need comes from one place or another. Indeed, “in a true spirit of dialogue, we grow in our ability to grasp the significance of what others say and do, even if we cannot accept it as our own conviction. At a time when everything seems to disintegrate and lose consistency, it is good for us to appeal to the “solidity”[88] born of the consciousness that we are responsible for the fragility of others as we strive to build a common future. Global problems, global actions. [48] How can this contribute to the fraternity that our common Father asks of us? In view of this, it is very difficult nowadays to invoke the rational criteria elaborated in earlier centuries to speak of the possibility of a “just war”. The problems that a society is experiencing need to be clearly identified, so that the existence of different ways of understanding and resolving them can be appreciated. A serious suicide attack shakes Baghdad six weeks before the pope's planned visit. The parable clearly does not indulge in abstract moralizing, nor is its message merely social and ethical. The world exists for everyone, because all of us were born with the same dignity. Yet every now and then, miraculously, a kind person appears and is willing to set everything else aside in order to show interest, to give the gift of a smile, to speak a word of encouragement, to listen amid general indifference. [190], 194. Individuals who possess this quality help make other people’s lives more bearable, especially by sharing the weight of their problems, needs and fears. Kindness facilitates the quest for consensus; it opens new paths where hostility and conflict would burn all bridges. Most of the other long texts he’s written are so-called “Apostolic exhortations”, including Evangelii Gaudium, Amoris Laetitia, and Querida Amazonia. [232] Visit to the Yad Vashem Memorial, Jerusalem (26 May 2014): AAS 106 (2014), 228. This is even more the case in times of crisis, catastrophe and hardship, when we are tempted to think in terms of the old saying, “every man for himself”. SAINT JOHN PAUL II, Encyclical Letter Sollicitudo Rei Socialis (30 December 1987), 42: AAS 80 (1988), 572-574; Encyclical Letter Centesimus Annus (1 May 1991), 11: AAS 83 (1991), 806-807. [77], Inadequate understandings of universal love. continuing to browse, we understand that you accept their use. 211. In the Johannine community, fellow Christians were to be welcomed, “even though they are strangers to you” (3 Jn 5). The subject of this culture is the people, not simply one part of society that would pacify the rest with the help of professional and media resources. [76] Cf. It is important to pay attention to religious, cultural and historical differences that are a vital component in shaping the character, culture and civilization of the East. [272] Ecumenical Prayer Service, Riga, Latvia (24 September 2018): L’Osservatore Romano, 24-25 September 2018, p. 8. Forgiveness is precisely what enables us to pursue justice without falling into a spiral of revenge or the injustice of forgetting. 69. Unconcerned for the hardships and dangers involved, Francis went to meet the Sultan with the same attitude that he instilled in his disciples: if they found themselves “among the Saracens and other nonbelievers”, without renouncing their own identity they were not to “engage in arguments or disputes, but to be subject to every human creature for God’s sake”. Let us ask him to anoint our whole being with the balm of his mercy, which heals the injuries caused by mistakes, misunderstandings and disputes. A “local narcissism” instead frets over a limited number of ideas, customs and forms of security; incapable of admiring the vast potential and beauty offered by the larger world, it lacks an authentic and generous spirit of solidarity. In some countries, a concept of popular and national unity influenced by various ideologies is creating new forms of selfishness and a loss of the social sense under the guise of defending national interests. Yet the processes of change that lead to lasting peace are crafted above all by peoples; each individual can act as an effective leaven by the way he or she lives each day. There is also a need for peacemakers, men and women prepared to work boldly and creatively to initiate processes of healing and renewed encounter. He openly condemned the use of force to gain power over others: “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. BAC, Madrid, 1952, vol. This is part of the mystery of authentic human existence. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. This leads to the simplistic belief that the poor are dangerous and useless, while the powerful are generous benefactors. Working to overcome our divisions without losing our identity as individuals presumes that a basic sense of belonging is present in everyone. We are impressed that some eight hundred years ago Saint Francis urged that all forms of hostility or conflict be avoided and that a humble and fraternal “subjection” be shown to those who did not share his faith. Certain requirements thus ensue, and these can be discovered through dialogue, even though, strictly speaking, they are not created by consensus. It is due, rather, to an accumulation of incorrect interpretations of religious texts and to policies linked to hunger, poverty, injustice, oppression and pride. I think first of families, called to a primary and vital mission of education. Its point of departure must be God’s way of seeing things. Such a covenant also demands the realization that some things may have to be renounced for the common good. Yet, “the commandment of peace is inscribed in the depths of the religious traditions that we represent… As religious leaders, we are called to be true ‘people of dialogue’, to cooperate in building peace not as intermediaries but as authentic mediators. It means that the lives of all are prior to the appropriation of goods by a few. An economy that is an integral part of a political, social, cultural and popular programme directed to the common good could pave the way for “different possibilities which do not involve stifling human creativity and its ideals of progress, but rather directing that energy along new channels”. In any human group there are always going to be more or less subtle power struggles between different parties. [275] Address to the Civil Authorities, Bethlehem, Palestine (25 May 2014): Insegnamenti II, 1 (2014), 597. Nor can it save us from the many ills that are now increasingly globalized. There is no end to the building of a country’s social peace; rather, it is “an open-ended endeavour, a never-ending task that demands the commitment of everyone and challenges us to work tirelessly to build the unity of the nation. Top 5 countries with highest number of Catholics, Former head of Vatican bank condemned for embezzlement. But the response to the crisis did not include rethinking the outdated criteria which continue to rule the world”. 70. To agnostics, this foundation could prove sufficient to confer a solid and stable universal validity on basic and non-negotiable ethical principles that could serve to prevent further catastrophes. There are times when we feel like him, badly hurt and left on side of the road. 141. [12] Encyclical Letter Laudato Si’ (24 May 2015), 57: AAS 107 (2015), 869. 39. Other persons come to be viewed simply as obstacles to our own serene existence; we end up treating them as annoyances and we become increasingly aggressive. [78] This false universalism ends up depriving the world of its various colours, its beauty and, ultimately, its humanity. For peace “is not merely absence of war but a tireless commitment – especially on the part of those of us charged with greater responsibility – to recognize, protect and concretely restore the dignity, so often overlooked or ignored, of our brothers and sisters, so that they can see themselves as the principal protagonists of the destiny of their nation”. That is why I have urged indigenous peoples to cherish their roots and their ancestral cultures. [58] Homiliae in Matthaeum, 50: 3-4: PG 58, 508. 1, concl. [59] Message to the Meeting of Popular Movements, Modesto, California, United States of America (10 February 2017): AAS 109 (2017), 291. A healthy culture, on the other hand, is open and welcoming by its very nature; indeed, “a culture without universal values is not truly a culture”. RE-ENVISAGING THE SOCIAL ROLE OF PROPERTY. The Church is a home with open doors, because she is a mother”. We are certain that “only with this awareness that we are not orphans, but children, can we live in peace with one another”. For all our hyper-connectivity, we witnessed a fragmentation that made it more difficult to resolve problems that affect us all. Indeed, there are markets where individuals become mere consumers or bystanders. I, 69; A. ROYO MARÍN, Teología de la Perfección Cristiana, ed. [6] Let us dream, then, as a single human family, as fellow travelers sharing the same flesh, as children of the same earth which is our common home, each of us bringing the richness of his or her beliefs and convictions, each of us with his or her own voice, brothers and sisters all. Certainly, all this calls for an alternative way of thinking. Saint Paul describes kindness as a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Gal 5:22). Cerf, Paris, 1968, 12-13. 113. [109] Cf. Let us take an active part in renewing and supporting our troubled societies. [92] In the words of Saint Gregory the Great, “When we provide the needy with their basic needs, we are giving them what belongs to them, not to us”.[93]. In this new significant encyclical “FRATELLI TUTTI”, Pope Francis calls for a more fraternal society that does not just continue as before after the Corona crisis and bluntly names the shadows of the world situation" and offers the world community the accompaniment of religions for a new "path of hope" and solidarity along with numerous ideas on social and peace ethics.
