This should not be seen as an ‘extra’ or as a concession which could be postponed in the face of press- ing national concerns. It is a grave and unconditional moral responsibility, founded on the unity of the human race, and on the common dignity and shared destiny of rich and poor alike, who are being drawn ever closer by the process of globalization. Trade conditions favourable to poor countries, including, above all, broad and un- conditional access to markets, should be made available and guaranteed in lasting and reliable ways. Provision must also be made for the rapid, total and unconditional cancellation of the external debt of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) and of the Least De- veloped Countries (LDCs). Measures should also be adopted to ensure that these coun- tries do not fall once again into situations of unsustainable debt.

  • Spirituality of Christian Mercy in Context of a Culture of Exclusion—The Poor
    ROCZNIKI TEOLOGICZNE Volume LXIV, issue 5 – 2017 ENGLISH ONLINE VERSION DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18290/rt.2017.64.5-4en REV. ADAM RYBICKI * SPIRITUALITY OF CHRISTIAN MERCY IN CONTEXT OF A CULTURE OF EXCLUSION—THE POOR A b s t r a c t. The article raises a problem of the spirituality of Christian charity with a particular emphasis on poverty. Firstly, it focuses on the culture of exclusion and its many dimensions, drawing on the recent Polish studies. Following that it emphasises the foundations of Christian charity. Further, it goes on to presenting the ecclesial (Church and community based) dimension of the ministry of mercy and a number of both internal and external difficulties in the practical implementation of this idea in the specific conditions of daily life. The article concludes that exclusion is a particular area in life that calls for the ministry of charity towards the ones in need. Key words: charity; poverty; Christian spirituality. After the Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis appealed to the Church, but also to all people of good will (“to all who read this Apostolic Letter — mercy and peace”) for the continuation of works of mercy in the world: Many concrete signs of mercy have been performed during this Holy Year. Com- munities, families and individuals have rediscovered the joy of sharing and the beauty of solidarity. But this is not enough. Our world continues to promote new forms of spiritual and material poverty that assault human dignity. For this reason, the Church must always be vigilant and ready to identify new works of mercy and to practise them with generosity and enthusiasm.

In the encyclical Populorum Progressio (1967), Pope Paul VI called for an ‘authentic development’ which would result in a shift for the poor from living in inhuman conditions to more human ones within their culture.

  • 17 Cardinals and Counting
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For More Information: Kevin Wandra, 404-788-1276 or [email protected] 17 Cardinals and Counting Seventeen prominent Cardinals from around the world address problems concerning marriage and the family in a series of new books prepared in advance of the October Synod on the Family SAN FRANCISCO, August 31, 2015 – The Synod of Bishops on the Family will meet in October to discuss marriage and the family, two hotly debated topics that have caused a crisis in the Catholic Church. In preparation for the highly anticipated event, seventeen prominent cardinals from around the world have written powerful essays for a series of books to be released in September through Ignatius Press. The first book will be ELEVEN CARDINALS SPEAK ON MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY, which addresses some of the problems that will be discussed at the Synod: • the challenge of providing adequate marriage preparation in a secularized world; • the need for evangelization and conversion; • the relationship between charity and truth; • the situation of divorced and civilly remarried Catholics; and • the demands of authentic pastoral care. The second is titled CHRIST’S NEW HOMELAND – AFRICA, and is written exclusively by African prelates, seven of which are Cardinals. In this book, this coalition of African bishops demonstrates that despite some comments coming out of last year’s Synod, that the African voice will have a number of contributions to make against any proposals that suggest a deviation in the Catholic Church’s long held teachings on divorce and same sex unions. The third is titled GOD OR NOTHING, and is an autobiographical interview hosted by French journalist Nicolas Diat with Robert Cardinal Sarah, an African cardinal who leads the Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of Sacraments.
