The encyclical … On the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the Holy Father, Pope Francis, released the third encyclical letter of his papacy entitled Fratelli Tutti, on fraternity and social friendship. “Here we have a splendid secret that shows us how to dream and to turn our life into a wonderful adventure. Despite these dark clouds, which may not be ignored, I would like in the following pages to take up and discuss many new paths of hope. This demonstrates the need for a greater spirit of fraternity, but also a more efficient worldwide organization to help resolve the problems plaguing the abandoned who are suffering and dying in poor countries. Neoliberalism simply reproduces itself by resorting to the magic theories of “spillover” or “trickle” – without using the name – as the only solution to societal problems. In this way, it does not deny its proper identity, but is open to being mobilized, challenged, broadened and enriched by others, and thus to further growth and development. [134] At the same time, it follows that “welfare projects, which meet certain urgent needs, should be considered merely temporary responses”.[135]. In earlier Jewish traditions, the imperative to love and care for others appears to have been limited to relationships between members of the same nation. Faith, and the humanism it inspires, must maintain a critical sense in the face of these tendencies, and prompt an immediate response whenever they rear their head. [30] Video Message to the TED Conference in Vancouver (26 April 2017): L’Osservatore Romano, 27 April 2017, p. 7. 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.

[64], 88. They may be citizens with full rights, yet they are treated like foreigners in their own country. The Church has rightly called attention to several of these, such as the possibility of judicial error and the use made of such punishment by totalitarian and dictatorial regimes as a means of suppressing political dissidence or persecuting religious and cultural minorities, all victims whom the legislation of those regimes consider ‘delinquents’. The broader objective should always be to allow them a dignified life through work”. 13. The nervous indifference that makes them pass to the other side of the road – whether innocently or not, whether the result of disdain or mere distraction – makes the priest and the Levite a sad reflection of the growing gulf between ourselves and the world around us. Significantly, many small communities living in desert areas developed a remarkable system of welcoming pilgrims as an exercise of the sacred duty of hospitality. [214] CATHOLIC BISHOPS’ CONFERENCE OF KOREA, Appeal of the Catholic Church in Korea for Peace on the Korean Peninsula (15 August 2017). 214. Never again, Lord, never again!”.[232].

This detail should not be overlooked. In any case, forgetting is never the answer. I would like to mention some of those “hidden exiles” who are treated as foreign bodies in society. Murder is not wrong simply because it is socially unacceptable and punished by law, but because of a deeper conviction. The shadows … [53] In the attempt to search for a ray of light in the midst of what we are experiencing, and before proposing a few lines of action, I now wish to devote a chapter to a parable told by Jesus Christ two thousand years ago. The monks realized that the values they sought to cultivate had to be accompanied by a readiness to move beyond themselves in openness to others. Our local experience needs to develop “in contrast to” and “in harmony with” the experiences of others living in diverse cultural contexts.[128]. : AAS 105 (2013), 1105-1106. It is likewise important to reinforce the bond of fundamental human rights in order to help ensure a dignified life for all the men and women of East and West, avoiding the politics of double standards”.[119]. Through sacrifice and patience, they can help to create a beautiful polyhedral reality in which everyone has a place. We received life freely; we paid nothing for it. Michael Landmann, Köhler-Verlag, Stuttgart, 1957, 6. This has nothing to do with watering down or concealing our deepest convictions when we encounter others who think differently than ourselves… For the deeper, stronger and richer our own identity is, the more we will be capable of enriching others with our own proper contribution”. These are war and the death penalty. [243] In making this point amid great international tension, he voiced the growing desire for peace emerging in the Cold War period. Without an attempt to enter into that way of thinking, what I am saying here will sound wildly unrealistic. Saint John Chrysostom summarizes it in this way: “Not to share our wealth with the poor is to rob them and take away their livelihood. [150] Cf. Discussion is often manipulated by powerful special interests that seek to tilt public opinion unfairly in their favour. Jesus never promoted violence or intolerance. Free of every label and position, he was able to interrupt his journey, change his plans, and unexpectedly come to the aid of an injured person who needed his help. [90] Address to Participants in the Meeting of Popular Movements (28 October 2014): AAS 106 (2014), 851-852. Which of these characters do you resemble? 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? Only a healthy politics, involving the most diverse sectors and skills, is capable of overseeing this process. The internet, in particular, offers immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. 283. No one can face life in isolation… We need a community that supports and helps us, in which we can help one another to keep looking ahead. Digital campaigns of hatred and destruction, for their part, are not – as some would have us believe – a positive form of mutual support, but simply an association of individuals united against a perceived common enemy. I, 69; A. ROYO MARÍN, Teología de la Perfección Cristiana, ed. Our desire is rather that justice be satisfied without the taking of their lives or the maiming of their bodies in any part. Much needs to change, through fundamental reform and major renewal. To this end, there is a need to ensure the uncontested rule of law and tireless recourse to negotiation, mediation and arbitration, as proposed by the Charter of the United Nations, which constitutes truly a fundamental juridical norm”. War is a failure of politics and of humanity, a shameful capitulation, a stinging defeat before the forces of evil. 72. Reparation and reconciliation will give us new life and set us all free from fear. In the words of the Bishops of India, “the goal of dialogue is to establish friendship, peace and harmony, and to share spiritual and moral values and experiences in a spirit of truth and love”. Often, the more vulnerable members of society are the victims of unfair generalizations. %PDF-1.5 Any effort along these lines becomes a noble exercise of charity. We should also recognize that “even though the international community has adopted numerous agreements aimed at ending slavery in all its forms, and has launched various strategies to combat this phenomenon, millions of people today – children, women and men of all ages – are deprived of freedom and forced to live in conditions akin to slavery… Today, as in the past, slavery is rooted in a notion of the human person that allows him or her to be treated as an object… Whether by coercion, or deception, or by physical or psychological duress, human persons created in the image and likeness of God are deprived of their freedom, sold and reduced to being the property of others. 191. If every human being possesses an inalienable dignity, if all people are my brothers and sisters, and if the world truly belongs to everyone, then it matters little whether my neighbour was born in my country or elsewhere. If only this immense sorrow may not prove useless, but enable us to take a step forward towards a new style of life. Instead, he encourages us to create a different culture, in which we resolve our conflicts and care for one another. Social friendship and universal fraternity necessarily call for an acknowledgement of the worth of every human person, always and everywhere. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Everything has become a kind of spectacle to be examined and inspected, and people’s lives are now under constant surveillance. Those who were fierce enemies have to speak from the stark and clear truth. 7; Saint Augustine, Contra Julianum, 4, 18: PL 44, 748: “How many pleasures do misers forego, either to increase their treasures or for fear of seeing them diminish!”. [273] Lectio Divina, Pontifical Lateran University, Rome (26 March 2019): L’Osservatore Romano, 27 March 2019, p. 10. 159. “Popular” leaders, those capable of interpreting the feelings and cultural dynamics of a people, and significant trends in society, do exist. It is not possible to settle for what was achieved in the past and complacently enjoy it, as if we could somehow disregard the fact that many of our brothers and sisters still endure situations that cry out for our attention”.[8]. %���� The Bishops of Croatia have stated that, “we owe equal respect to every innocent victim. [35] The notion of “every man for himself” will rapidly degenerate into a free-for-all that would prove worse than any pandemic. Building social friendship does not only call for rapprochement between groups who took different sides at some troubled period of history, but also for a renewed encounter with the most impoverished and vulnerable sectors of society. [234] The victims themselves – individuals, social groups or nations – need to do so, lest they succumb to the mindset that leads to justifying reprisals and every kind of violence in the name of the great evil endured. [5] Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together, Abu Dhabi (4 February 2019): L’Osservatore Romano, 4-5 February 2019, p. 6. We must not lose our ability to listen”. [126], 146. Paradoxically, we have certain ancestral fears that technological development has not succeeded in eliminating; indeed, those fears have been able to hide and spread behind new technologies. This is part of the mystery of authentic human existence. That is what it means to be a family! Providentially, many groups and organizations within civil society help to compensate for the shortcomings of the international community, its lack of coordination in complex situations, its lack of attention to fundamental human rights and to the critical needs of certain groups. 239. [45] Message for the 2019 World Day of Migrants and Refugees (27 May 2019): L’Osservatore Romano, 27-28 May 2019, p. 8. 19. In a family, parents, grandparents and children all feel at home; no one is excluded. 79. These situations of violence, sad to say, “have become so common as to constitute a real ‘third world war’ fought piecemeal”. Differences of colour, religion, talent, place of birth or residence, and so many others, cannot be used to justify the privileges of some over the rights of all. Whatever comes from there cannot be trusted, for it is unknown, unfamiliar, not part of the village. [27] Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together, Abu Dhabi (4 February 2019): L’Osservatore Romano, 4-5 February 2019, p. 6. [83] Words like freedom, democracy or fraternity prove meaningless, for the fact is that “only when our economic and social system no longer produces even a single victim, a single person cast aside, will we be able to celebrate the feast of universal fraternity”. Consumerist individualism has led to great injustice. [277] Common Declaration of Pope Francis and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, Jerusalem (25 May 2014), 5: L’Osservatore Romano, 26-27 May 2014, p. 6. AN ABSENCE OF HUMAN DIGNITY ON THE BORDERS, 37. There is no need, then, to oppose the interests of society, consensus and the reality of objective truth. The neighbourhood gives them a sense of shared identity. In political activity, we should remember that, “appearances notwithstanding, every person is immensely holy and deserves our love. Good politics combines love with hope and with confidence in the reserves of goodness present in human hearts. In this shallow, short-sighted culture that we have created, bereft of a shared vision, “it is foreseeable that, once certain resources have been depleted, the scene will be set for new wars, albeit under the guise of noble claims”. This does not mean impunity. There, even the possibility of acting as a neighbour is excluded; one is a neighbour only to those who serve their purpose. Service is never ideological, for we do not serve ideas, we serve people”. Fear and resentment can easily lead to viewing punishment in a vindictive and even cruel way, rather than as part of a process of healing and reintegration into society. [55] Talmud Bavli (Babylonian Talmud), Shabbat, 31a. [192] General Audience (18 February 2015): L’Osservatore Romano, 19 February 2015, p. 8. Even when affronted, goodness is never weak but rather, shows its strength by refusing to take revenge”. Every brother or sister in need, when abandoned or ignored by the society in which I live, becomes an existential foreigner, even though born in the same country. 183. “Social love”[172] makes it possible to advance towards a civilization of love, to which all of us can feel called. Indeed, “only the man who approaches others, not to draw them into his own life, but to help them become ever more fully themselves, can truly be called a father”. Saint Paul VI used these words in praising his commitment: Encyclical Letter Populorum Progressio (26 March 1967): AAS 59 (1967), 263. Here there can be no room for disguising false intentions or placing the partisan interests of one country or group above the global common good. Yet the spirit of individualism also affects relations between countries. When a society – whether local, national or global – is willing to leave a part of itself on the fringes, no political programmes or resources spent on law enforcement or surveillance systems can indefinitely guarantee tranquility”. O God, Trinity of love, from the profound communion of your divine life, pour out upon us a torrent of fraternal love. This is mainly the question that Fratelli tutti is intended to answer: the Pope describes it as a “Social Encyclical” (6) which borrows the title of the “Admonitions” of Saint Francis of Assisi, who … 212.

Particularly serious in this regard are so-called extrajudicial or extralegal executions, which are “homicides deliberately committed by certain states and by their agents, often passed off as clashes with criminals or presented as the unintended consequences of the reasonable, necessary and proportionate use of force in applying the law”. It becomes easier to discredit and insult opponents from the outset than to open a respectful dialogue aimed at achieving agreement on a deeper level. Much still prevents them from being fully enfranchised. 96. 42. If someone has a problem, even a serious one, even if he brought it upon himself, the rest of the family comes to his assistance; they support him. I consider this part of our natural instinct of self-defence. Blessed Charles directed his ideal of total surrender to God towards an identification with the poor, abandoned in the depths of the African desert. Even as forms of fanaticism, closedmindedness and social and cultural fragmentation proliferate in present-day society, a good politician will take the first step and insist that different voices be heard. 222. The guarantee of an authentic openness to God, on the other hand, is a way of practising the faith that helps open our hearts to our brothers and sisters. [152] PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR JUSTICE AND PEACE, Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, 434. [55] The desire to imitate God’s own way of acting gradually replaced the tendency to think only of those nearest us: “The compassion of man is for his neighbour, but the compassion of the Lord is for all living beings” (Sir 18:13). They would not waste a couple of minutes caring for the injured man, or even in calling for help. On the contrary, authentic and mature love and true friendship can only take root in hearts open to growth through relationships with others. [7] Address to the European Parliament, Strasbourg (25 November 2014): AAS 106 (2014), 996. Each day offers us a new opportunity, a new possibility.

[220] Meeting with the Authorities, Civil Society and the Diplomatic Corps, Maputo, Mozambique (5 September 2019): L’Osservatore Romano, 6 September 2019, p. 6. It makes us believe that everything consists in giving free rein to our own ambitions, as if by pursuing ever greater ambitions and creating safety nets we would somehow be serving the common good. [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. Conversaciones con Hernán Reyes Alcaide, ed. The complaint that “everything is broken” is answered by the claim that “it can’t be fixed”, or “what can I do?” This feeds into disillusionment and despair, and hardly encourages a spirit of solidarity and generosity. The effort to seek God with a sincere heart, provided it is never sullied by ideological or self-serving aims, helps us recognize one another as travelling companions, truly brothers and sisters. [182] It is an act of charity to assist someone suffering, but it is also an act of charity, even if we do not know that person, to work to change the social conditions that caused his or her suffering. [184] Address to Participants in the World Meeting of Popular Movements (28 October 2014): AAS 106 (2014), 852. May we not be content with being enclosed in one fragment of reality. Radical individualism is a virus that is extremely difficult to eliminate, for it is clever. No one achieves inner peace or returns to a normal life in that way. Truth means recognizing the pain of women who are victims of violence and abuse… Every act of violence committed against a human being is a wound in humanity’s flesh; every violent death diminishes us as people… Violence leads to more violence, hatred to more hatred, death to more death. Government leaders should be the first to make the sacrifices that foster encounter and to seek convergence on at least some issues. [224] Nothing is gained this way and, in the end, everything is lost. A society that seeks prosperity but turns its back on suffering. There also exists a typically “mafioso” pedagogy that, by appealing to a false communitarian mystique, creates bonds of dependency and fealty from which it is very difficult to break free. Wherever he went, he sowed seeds of peace and walked alongside the poor, the abandoned, the infirm and the outcast, the least of his brothers and sisters. [233] Neither must we forget the persecutions, the slave trade and the ethnic killings that continue in various countries, as well as the many other historical events that make us ashamed of our humanity.
