55. 190. Extraordinary Moment of Prayer in Time of Epidemic (27 March 2020): L’Osservatore Romano, 29 March 2020, p. 10; Message for the 2020 World Day of the Poor (13 June 2020), 6: L’Osservatore Romano, 14 June 2020, p. 8. Yet today’s world presents us with many false rights and – at the same time – broad sectors which are vulnerable, victims of power badly exercised”.[148]. For we ourselves were once foolish” (Tit 3:2-3). [107] Saint John Paul II, Encyclical Letter Centesimus Annus (1 May 1991), 35: AAS 83 (1991), 838. He uses the Greek word chrestótes, which describes an attitude that is gentle, pleasant and supportive, not rude or coarse. It is remarkable how the various characters in the story change, once confronted by the painful sight of the poor man on the roadside. 208. 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. If at times the poor and the dispossessed react with attitudes that appear antisocial, we should realize that in many cases those reactions are born of a history of scorn and social exclusion. Talking of “sacrifices born of love” is to talk … Politicians are called to “tend to the needs of individuals and peoples. As couples or friends, we find that our hearts expand as we step out of ourselves and embrace others. Complex challenges arise when our neighbour happens to be an immigrant. 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. Yet “today’s world is largely a deaf world… At times, the frantic pace of the modern world prevents us from listening attentively to what another person is saying. Let us hear the true stories of these victims of violence, look at reality through their eyes, and listen with an open heart to the stories they tell. Respect for those rights “is the preliminary condition for a country’s social and economic development. [68] Hospitality was one specific way of rising to the challenge and the gift present in an encounter with those outside one’s own circle. I realize that some people are hesitant and fearful with regard to migrants. 185. Behind these trends that tend to level our world, there flourish powerful interests that take advantage of such low self-esteem, while attempting, through the media and networks, to create a new culture in the service of the elite. 140. 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. [102] Cf. English translation in Francis of Assisi: Early Documents, vol 1., New York, London, Manila (1999), 131. 6. Nor should we naively refuse to recognize that “obsession with a consumerist lifestyle, above all when few people are capable of maintaining it, can only lead to violence and mutual destruction”. Political powers do not find it easy to assume this duty in the work of nation-building”,[162] much less in forging a common project for the human family, now and in the future. For this reason, it is important that catechesis and preaching speak more directly and clearly about the social meaning of existence, the fraternal dimension of spirituality, our conviction of the inalienable dignity of each person, and our reasons for loving and accepting all our brothers and sisters. [65] Since we were made for love, in each one of us “a law of ekstasis” seems to operate: “the lover ‘goes outside’ the self to find a fuller existence in another”. Universal fraternity and social friendship are thus two inseparable and equally vital poles in every society. Even the Good Samaritan, for example, needed to have a nearby inn that could provide the help that he was personally unable to offer. Indigenous peoples, for example, are not opposed to progress, yet theirs is a different notion of progress, often more humanistic than the modern culture of developed peoples. 158. It has been present from the beginning of humanity, and has simply changed and taken on different forms down the ages, using whatever means each moment of history can provide. [161] We cannot expect economics to do this, nor can we allow economics to take over the real power of the state. Let us take an active part in renewing and supporting our troubled societies. [229] Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium (24 November 2013), 228: AAS 105 (2013), 1113. [203] This does not result in an ethical rigidity nor does it lead to the imposition of any one moral system, since fundamental and universally valid moral principles can be embodied in different practical rules. [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. Saint Paul, recognizing the temptation of the earliest Christian communities to form closed and isolated groups, urged his disciples to abound in love “for one another and for all” (1 Thess 3:12). It makes us uneasy, since we have no time to waste on other people’s problems. [17] BENEDICT XVI, Encyclical Letter Caritas in Veritate (29 June 2009), 22: AAS 101 (2009), 657. [7] There was also a growing desire for integration in Latin America, and several steps were taken in this direction. 246. [149] Encyclical Letter Laudato Si’ (24 May 2015), 175: AAS 107 (2015), 916-917. The people have the right to know what happened”. That is why it is so necessary to stop supporting terrorist movements fuelled by financing, the provision of weapons and strategy, and by attempts to justify these movements, even using the media. Here, all our distinctions, labels and masks fall away: it is the moment of truth. Closed populist groups distort the word “people”, since they are not talking about a true people. “In the absence of objective truths or sound principles other than the satisfaction of our own desires and immediate needs… we should not think that political efforts or the force of law will be sufficient… When the culture itself is corrupt, and objective truth and universally valid principles are no longer upheld, then laws can only be seen as arbitrary impositions or obstacles to be avoided”.[201]. 127. And God’s love is the same for everyone, regardless of religion. No one achieves inner peace or returns to a normal life in that way. As a result, they have lost whatever value they might have had, and have become another source of polarization in an already divided society. The word “neighbour”, in the society of Jesus’ time, usually meant those nearest us. ENCYCLICAL LETTER FRATELLI TUTTI OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS ON FRATERNITY AND SOCIAL FRIENDSHIP . 239. Beginning Tuesday, Pope Francis’ recent Encyclical Fratelli tutti, on Fraternity and Social Friendship, will be more readily accessible by the faithful.. Saint Paul VI used these words in praising his commitment: Encyclical Letter Populorum Progressio (26 March 1967): AAS 59 (1967), 263. 19. Their self-interest as a class, group or nation would inevitably set them in opposition to one another. [82] Investments in assistance to the vulnerable could prove unprofitable; they might make things less efficient. [167], 181. 167. [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. [262] SAINT JOHN PAUL II, Encyclical Letter Centesimus Annus (1 May 1991), 44: AAS 83 (1991), 849. Jesus chose to start when the robbery has already taken place, lest we dwell on the crime itself or the thieves who committed it. We have grown indifferent to all kinds of wastefulness, starting with the waste of food, which is deplorable in the extreme”.[13]. 201. 6-7. Yet he was able to put all that aside when confronted with someone in need. In places where these community values are maintained, people experience a closeness marked by gratitude, solidarity and reciprocity. It is love that draws near and becomes real. 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”. A land will be fruitful, and its people bear fruit and give birth to the future, only to the extent that it can foster a sense of belonging among its members, create bonds of integration between generations and different communities, and avoid all that makes us insensitive to others and leads to further alienation”. [63] No one can experience the true beauty of life without relating to others, without having real faces to love. BENEDICT XVI, Encyclical Letter Caritas in Veritate (29 June 2009), 67: AAS 101 (2009), 700-701. Fratelli Tutti is an encyclical that not only lacks Faith, but also Hope and Charity. I would once more observe that “the financial crisis of 2007-08 provided an opportunity to develop a new economy, more attentive to ethical principles, and new ways of regulating speculative financial practices and virtual wealth. We fail to realize that, by isolating the elderly and leaving them in the care of others without the closeness and concern of family members, we disfigure and impoverish the family itself. Francis felt himself a brother to the sun, the sea and the wind, yet he knew that he was even closer to those of his own flesh. Yet often they are viewed with disdain as a result of “the myopia of a certain rationalism”. Fratelli tutti ist eine Enzyklika von Papst Franziskus über die „Geschwisterlichkeit und die soziale Freundschaft.“ Der Titel geht auf ein Zitat von Franz von Assisi zurück. [30], PANDEMICS AND OTHER CALAMITIES IN HISTORY, 32. We need to acknowledge that we are constantly tempted to ignore others, especially the weak. [214], 230. 2 0 obj We can never move forward without remembering the past; we do not progress without an honest and unclouded memory. Indeed, “authentic political life, built upon respect for law and frank dialogue between individuals, is constantly renewed whenever there is a realization that every woman and man, and every new generation, brings the promise of new relational, intellectual, cultural and spiritual energies”. 10. The biggest issue is employment. The poor are beyond the scope of their interest. They choose not to spread in society the spirit of revenge that will sooner or later return to take its toll. The arrival of those who are different, coming from other ways of life and cultures, can be a gift, for “the stories of migrants are always stories of an encounter between individuals and between cultures. Like the chance traveller in the parable, we need only have a pure and simple desire to be a people, a community, constant and tireless in the effort to include, integrate and lift up the fallen. Let us teach them to fight the good fight of the culture of encounter! To do so calls for perseverance; it entails moments of silence and suffering, yet it can patiently embrace the broader experience of individuals and peoples. An injured man lay on the roadside. They will certainly not need a proactive state; they need only claim their freedom. It makes us realize that “the scandal of poverty cannot be addressed by promoting strategies of containment that only tranquilize the poor and render them tame and inoffensive. 182. They must not be neglected, so that each can be enriched by the other’s culture through fruitful exchange and dialogue. To remember goodness is also a healthy thing. Here I would stress that “it is impossible to imagine that states today have no other means than capital punishment to protect the lives of other people from the unjust aggressor”. Truth means confessing what happened to minors recruited by cruel and violent people. They are treated as means to an end… [Criminal networks] are skilled in using modern means of communication as a way of luring young men and women in various parts of the world”. 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”. [281] Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together, Abu Dhabi (4 February 2019): L’Osservatore Romano, 4-5 February 2019, p. 7. [151] Needless to say, this calls for clear legal limits to avoid power being co-opted only by a few countries and to prevent cultural impositions or a restriction of the basic freedoms of weaker nations on the basis of ideological differences. Everything has become a kind of spectacle to be examined and inspected, and people’s lives are now under constant surveillance. [163], 179. If a society is governed primarily by the criteria of market freedom and efficiency, there is no place for such persons, and fraternity will remain just another vague ideal. 285. Often the voices raised in defence of the environment are silenced or ridiculed, using apparently reasonable arguments that are merely a screen for special interests. 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. [121] From the standpoint of integral development, this presupposes “giving poorer nations an effective voice in shared decision-making”[122] and the capacity to “facilitate access to the international market on the part of countries suffering from poverty and underdevelopment”.[123]. Arguments are also made for the propriety of limiting aid to poor countries, so that they can hit rock bottom and find themselves forced to take austerity measures. Whatever comes from there cannot be trusted, for it is unknown, unfamiliar, not part of the village. [25], 27. Blessed Charles directed his ideal of total surrender to God towards an identification with the poor, abandoned in the depths of the African desert. Jn 19:26), she cares not only for Jesus but also for “the rest of her children” (cf. [188] Often, as we carry on our semantic or ideological disputes, we allow our brothers and sisters to die of hunger and thirst, without shelter or access to health care. As believers, we are convinced that human nature, as the source of ethical principles, was created by God, and that ultimately it is he who gives those principles their solid foundation. How wonderful would it be, even as we discover faraway planets, to rediscover the needs of the brothers and sisters who orbit around us”. To be sure, “it is no easy task to overcome the bitter legacy of injustices, hostility and mistrust left by conflict. These exchanges are merely parallel monologues. 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. The Catholic Telegraph / October 5, 2020 / 5.2k PDF version of click Fratelli Tutti Shadows over the closed world (Ch. These are the new forms of cultural colonization. Discussion is often manipulated by powerful special interests that seek to tilt public opinion unfairly in their favour. We forget that “there is no worse form of alienation than to feel uprooted, belonging to no one. The values of freedom, mutual respect and solidarity can be handed on from a tender age… Communicators also have a responsibility for education and formation, especially nowadays, when the means of information and communication are so widespread”. Das Dokument wurde am 3. When the last day comes, and there is sufficient light to see things as they really are, we are going to find ourselves quite surprised”.[278]. [287] Letter to Henry de Castries (29 November 1901). The world is itself crying out in rebellion. 183. “Social love”[172] makes it possible to advance towards a civilization of love, to which all of us can feel called. 81. 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”. Often, the more vulnerable members of society are the victims of unfair generalizations. 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. Those who were fierce enemies have to speak from the stark and clear truth. To care for the world in which we live means to care for ourselves. [166] Once more, I appeal for a renewed appreciation of politics as “a lofty vocation and one of the highest forms of charity, inasmuch as it seeks the common good”. [243] In making this point amid great international tension, he voiced the growing desire for peace emerging in the Cold War period. As a rule, the advance of this kind of globalism strengthens the identity of the more powerful, who can protect themselves, but it tends to diminish the identity of the weaker and poorer regions, making them more vulnerable and dependent. Amen. From it, there arises, “for Christian thought and for the action of the Church, the primacy given to relationship, to the encounter with the sacred mystery of the other, to universal communion with the entire human family, as a vocation of all”.[273]. Jesus could speak those words because he had an open heart, sensitive to the difficulties of others. [20], 24. [35] Encyclical Letter Laudato Si’ (24 May 2015), 204: AAS 107 (2015), 928. If a criminal has harmed me or a loved one, no one can forbid me from demanding justice and ensuring that this person – or anyone else – will not harm me, or others, again. [63] Gabriel Marcel, Du refus à l’invocation, ed. Those who work for tranquil social coexistence should never forget that inequality and lack of integral human development make peace impossible. 7. They break the vicious circle; they halt the advance of the forces of destruction. Rather, it is a mythic category… When you have to explain what you mean by people, you use logical categories for the sake of explanation, and necessarily so. 43. Revenge resolves nothing. 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 our brothers and sisters, and as such we must love and care for them”. Intermediaries seek to give everyone a discount, ultimately in order to gain something for themselves. Under the guise of tolerance, relativism ultimately leaves the interpretation of moral values to those in power, to be defined as they see fit. Only by basing themselves on the historical truth of events will they be able to make a broad and persevering effort to understand one another and to strive for a new synthesis for the good of all. [235], 254. This presupposes a different way of understanding relations and exchanges between countries. In any human group there are always going to be more or less subtle power struggles between different parties. [35] The notion of “every man for himself” will rapidly degenerate into a free-for-all that would prove worse than any pandemic. There are two extreme situations that may come to be seen as solutions in especially dramatic circumstances, without realizing that they are false answers that do not resolve the problems they are meant to solve and ultimately do no more than introduce new elements of destruction in the fabric of national and global society. [195], 197. The series will be taped so, if you miss a session, you can view it afterwards. Yet something similar had long been occurring during heat waves and in other situations: older people found themselves cruelly abandoned. [215] Meeting with Political, Economic and Civic Leaders, Quito, Ecuador (7 July 2015): L’Osservatore Romano, 9 July 2015, p. 9. [253] During the trial of the murderers of two priests, Saint Augustine asked the judge not to take the life of the assassins with this argument: “We do not object to your depriving these wicked men of the freedom to commit further crimes. Alongside these basic needs that remain unmet, trafficking in persons represents another source of shame for humanity, one that international politics, moving beyond fine speeches and good intentions, must no longer tolerate. Any effort along these lines becomes a noble exercise of charity. This phrase is a direct quotation from the Admonitions of St. … [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. We no longer have use for empty diplomacy, dissimulation, double-speak, hidden agendas and good manners that mask reality. Consequently, if I can help at least one person to have a better life, that already justifies the offering of my life. [58] Homiliae in Matthaeum, 50: 3-4: PG 58, 508. Instances of racism continue to shame us, for they show that our supposed social progress is not as real or definitive as we think. These things are essential; they can no longer be deferred. Cultural, economic and political integration with neighbouring peoples should therefore be accompanied by a process of education that promotes the value of love for one’s neighbour, the first indispensable step towards attaining a healthy universal integration. Development must not aim at the amassing of wealth by a few, but must ensure “human rights – personal and social, economic and political, including the rights of nations and of peoples”. [111] Cf. This illusion, unmindful of the great fraternal values, leads to “a sort of cynicism. Una conversazione con Papa Francesco, in JORGE MARIO BERGOLIO – PAPA FRANCESCO, Nei tuoi occhi è la mia parola. 187. Saint John Chrysostom expressed this pointedly when he challenged his Christian hearers: “Do you wish to honour the body of the Saviour? [252] Pope Nicholas I urged that efforts be made “to free from the punishment of death not only each of the innocent, but all the guilty as well”. [59] Message to the Meeting of Popular Movements, Modesto, California, United States of America (10 February 2017): AAS 109 (2017), 291. 261. This summons is ever new, yet it is grounded in a fundamental law of our being: we are called to direct society to the pursuit of the common good and, with this purpose in mind, to persevere in consolidating its political and social order, its fabric of relations, its human goals. [268] She does not claim to compete with earthly powers, but to offer herself as “a family among families, this is the Church, open to bearing witness in today’s world, open to faith hope and love for the Lord and for those whom he loves with a preferential love.
