In the prophecy of Zechariah, Jesus found not only the image of the king of peace arriving on a donkey, but also the vision of the slain shepherd, who saves by his death, as well as the image of the Pierced One on whom all eyes will gaze. As Prefect, Pilate represented Roman law, on which the Pax Romana rested – the peace of the empire that spanned the world. this peace was secured, on the one hand, through Rome’s military might. But mil - itary force alone does not generate peace. Peace depends on justice. (Benedict XVI, Angelus 28 March 2010; Jesus of Nazareth ; Vatican City 2011, pp. -
Towards a More Inclusive Economy
THE GLOBAL COMMON GOOD: TOWARDS A MORE INCLUSIVE ECONOMY Vatican City, Casina Pio IV, 11 – 12 July, 2014 Seminar Description p. Agenda p. List of Participants p. Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace p. Participant Biographies p. The Global Common Good: Towards a More Inclusive Economy “No” to an economy of exclusion […] Human beings are themselves considered consumer goods to be used and then discarded. We have created a “throw away” culture which is now spreading. It is no longer simply about exploitation and oppression, but something new. Exclusion ultimately has to do with what it means to be a part of the society in which we live; those excluded are no longer society’s underside or its fringes or its disenfranchised – they are no longer even a part of it. The excluded are not the “exploited” but the outcast, the “leftovers”. In this context, some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system. Meanwhile, the excluded are still waiting. To sustain a lifestyle which excludes others, or to sustain enthusiasm for that selfish ideal, a globalization of indifference has developed. Almost without being aware of it, we end up being incapable of feeling compassion at the outcry of the poor, weeping for other people’s pain, and feeling a need to help them, as though all this were someone else’s responsibility and not our own. -
The Role of the Catholic Church in the Process of European Integration XIV International Conference Cracow, 26-27 September 2014
The Role of the Catholic Church in the Process of European Integration XIV International Conference Cracow, 26-27 September 2014 The Social Market Economy: An Answer to the Crisis? Flaminia Giovanelli Undersecretary Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace First of all, I would like to thank, in a special way, Cardinal Dziwisz and His Excellency Msgr. Pieronek for having invited me to participate in this important annual meeting of the Conference on “The Role of the Catholic Church in the process of European integration” and to speak on a European theme, in the town whose Pastor was Saint John Paul II for so many years. These two facts lead me back in time: the first one, to more than fifty years ago when I lived in Brussels and attended the European School there; and, the second, to the years of the pontificate of our Saint Pope, who was elected when I was in my fourth year of service in the then Pontifical Commission Iustitia et Pax. The proposed topic—that is, a reflection on the social market—also evokes the past, a much more distant one, because the structure of the social market economy is rooted, as we well know, in a period of history that even preceded World War I. Now, in these days that event is commemorated in various parts of Europe. Precisely for this reason, before trying to answer the question that is the title of my lecture: “The Social Market Economy: An Answer to the Crisis?”, I will attempt to respond to another question: does it still makes sense to think today in terms of this model of economic development?

GLOBAL FINANCIAL GOVERNANCE SERVING THE COMMON GOOD + Mario Toso 1. 1. The "Reflections" of the Pontifical Council on the reform of the international monetary and financial system: the importance of institutional reform The Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace followed along the same lines as Caritas in Veritate (CIV ), 1 with particular reference to no. 67, in putting together some Reflections 2 that are intended to point the way forward if we want our financial and monetary markets to serve the common good of the human family. They must be free markets that are stable, transparent, “democratic” and not oligarchic. They must be functional to the real economy and to businesses, workers, families and local communities. In these Reflections , the financial markets are defined as a "collective good" (cf. p. 20) and a "public good" (cf. p. 29), because they constitute one of the basic conditions for the attainment of the global common good. Today’s global financial and monetary markets have grown much more rapidly than the real economy. In order for them to be well-functioning in support of the global common good, they must respect all the canons of justice (cf. CIV no. 37), and adjustment must be made to the current international political and economic institutions. It is clear that they are disproportionate to the attainment of the common 1 Cf BENEDICT XVI, Encyclical Letter Caritas in Veritate , Libreria Editrice Vaticana, Città del Vaticano 2009 (= CIV).

Catholic Moral Traditions and Energy Ethics for the Twenty-First Century
Journal of Moral Theology, Vol. 5, No. 2 (2016): 1-36 Catholic Moral Traditions and Energy Ethics for the Twenty-First Century Erin Lothes Biviano, David Cloutier, Elaine Padilla, Christiana Z. Peppard, Jame Schaefer N THE PAST TWO HUNDRED YEARS, the rapid extraction and com- bustion of fossil fuels have contributed to anthropogenic interfer- ence in global climate systems, while also increasing net global I wealth and some forms of economic development. In the twenty- first century, it is now clear that fossil fuel sources have both positive and negative impacts on economies, livelihoods, and environments worldwide. What might formal Catholic teaching and theological- moral reflection offer to this situation? The institutional Catholic Church has engaged energy issues in multiple documents, ranging from papal encyclicals to the U.S. Bish- ops’ 1981 statement on energy.1 So too have discussions of fossil fuels, climate change, and ethics occurred within broader scholarly dis- courses of Catholic theology and ethics.2 Catholic organizations dedi- cated to the global common good and to countering the effects of cli- mate change have proliferated in the U.S. and worldwide. This essay builds upon the growing ecclesial, scholarly, and practical attention to these issues by revisiting the U.S. Bishops’ 1981 statement on energy, “Reflections on the Energy Crisis,” in recognition that the question of what powers societies in the twenty-first century is not merely an issue of technology or economics: It is also an issue of energy ethics. A Catholic energy ethics requires attention to current energy realities 1 “Reflections on the Energy Crisis: A Statement by the Committee on Social Devel- opment and World Peace” (Washington, D.C.: United States Catholic Conference, 1981), http://catholicclimatecovenant.org/catholic-teachings/energy-statements/#En- ergy Statement. -
Banking on the Common Good, Finance for the Common Good + Mario Toso
BANKING ON THE COMMON GOOD, FINANCE FOR THE COMMON GOOD + MARIO TOSO 1. The reform of the major international institutions and the dismantling of paralyzing prejudices Here I would like to present some considerations from the Reflections of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace entitled Reform of the international financial system with a view toward a general public Authority.1 I pause to consider first what has so far been made for the reform of the international institutions, then move on to the three directives set out at the end of the text - taxation measures on financial transactions; forms of recapitalization of banks; separation between commercial banks and investment banks - which have been suggested not as mandatory and dogmatic guidelines, but rather as a basis for discussion. With regard to the reform of the major international institutions, we must say that so far nothing of relevance has been found, apart from the bland reform of Wall Street by Barack Obama, the emergence and gradual strengthening of the European Central Bank and the relevant bailout Fund – the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), whose operation should be improved, in order to help the real economy of the supported countries. It must be noted, also, that it is trying to reform, within the International Monetary Fund, the balance of the voting rights, so as to give greater weight to the emerging economies.
