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.

  • 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? I.

  • Returning from Fatima, Pope Says He Has Doubts About Medjugorje
    Returning from Fatima, pope says he has doubts about Medjugorje ABOARD THE PAPAL FLIGHT FROM PORTUGAL – While the investigations into the very first alleged apparitions at Medjugorje must continue, Pope Francis said he has doubts about claims that Mary continues to appear in the village of Bosnia- Herzegovina. Asked May 13 about the authenticity of the Marian apparitions, which reportedly began in 1981, the pope referred to the findings of a commission chaired by Cardinal Camillo Ruini, the retired papal vicar of Rome. “The report has its doubts, but personally, I am a little worse,” the pope told reporters traveling with him from Fatima, Portugal. “I prefer Our Lady as mother, our mother, and not Our Lady as head of the post office who sends a message at a stated time.” “This isn’t Jesus’ mother,” he said. “And these alleged apparitions don’t have much value. I say this as a personal opinion, but it is clear. Who thinks that Our Lady says, ‘Come, because tomorrow at this time I will give a message to that seer?’ No!” Three of the six young people who originally claimed to have seen Mary in Medjugorje in June 1981 say she continues to appear to them each day; the other three say Mary appears to them once a year now. A diocesan commission studied the alleged apparitions in 1982-1984 and again in 1984-1986 with more members; and the then-Yugoslavian bishops’ conference studied them from 1987 to 1990. All three commissions concluded that they could not affirm that a supernatural event was occurring in the town.
