The Holy See considers the initial application of the Agreement — which is of great ecclesial and pastoral value — to have been posit- ive, thanks to good commu- nication and cooperation between the Parties on the matters agreed upon, and intends to pursue an open and constructive dialogue for the benefit of the life of the Catholic Church and the good of Chinese p eople.

    Statement on Upcoming World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation Archbishop Paul S. Coakley Chairman, Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Bishop David J. Malloy Chairman, Committee on International Justice and Peace United States Conference of Catholic Bishops September 1, 2021 Towards an ecological conscience In his message for the 1990 World Day of Peace, Pope St. John Paul II warned of a “profound moral crisis of which the destruction of the environment is only one troubling aspect.”1 Twenty-five years later, Pope Francis further developed the important moral dimensions of ecology and its interrelatedness to other human and spiritual concerns in his encyclical, Laudato si’. The moral dimension of the ecological crisis demands that each of us cultivate an ecological conscience, one that enables us to see clearly, judge rightly, and act ethically when it comes to the care of “our common home.”2 Environmental problems can be difficult to understand because they involve highly complex scientific and technical interactions between natural phenomena, animal and ecosystem behaviors, and human actions. This difficulty is exacerbated by the complexity of communication and globalization in the modern world. Despite ever-increasing forms of communication and social media, we must admit that “the flood of information at our fingertips does not make for greater wisdom,”3 and at times is even deliberately used to confuse and manipulate consciences. Our times require robust consciences,

In reading the reports of the various CIB regions contained in these pages, I have seen some common issues that seem to bind us together in this. First and foremost, we can see that this time has been both a challenge and a blessing for us. There have been unexpected benefits for our monastic communities even as we have experienced many undesired limitations and some fear, as well as sickness and death (both in our communities and in our families).

  • Fratelli Tutti
    1 Fratelli tutti Summary Shadows over the closed world (Ch. 1) are spreading everywhere, leaving injured people by the roadside, cast out and discarded. The shadows plunge humanity into confusion, loneliness, and desolation. When we come upon an injured stranger on the road (Ch. 2), we can assume one of two attitudes: we can pass by or we can stop to help. The type of person we are and the type of political, social or religious group we belong to will be defined by whether we include or exclude the injured stranger. God is universal love, and as long as we are part of that love and share in it, we are called to universal fraternity, which is openness to all. There are no "others,” no "them," there is only "us”. We want, with God and in God, an open world (Ch. 3), a world without walls, without borders, without people rejected, without strangers. To achieve this world, we must have an open heart (Ch. 4). We need to experience social friendship, seek what is morally good, and practice a social ethic because we know we are part of a universal fraternity. We are called to solidarity, encounter, and gratuitousness. To create an open world with an open heart, it is necessary to engage in politics, and a better kind of politics (Ch. 5) is essential. Politics for the common and universal good. Politics that is “popular” because it is for and with the people. It is politics with social charity that seeks human dignity. The politics of men and women who practice political love by integrating the economy with the social and cultural fabric into a consistent and life-giving human project.

  • INDIVIDUALISM HAS FAILED, FRATERNITY WILL SAVE US From
    INDIVIDUALISM HAS FAILED, FRATERNITY WILL SAVE US From the "common home" to be guarded and protected (theme of the encyclical Laudato Si') to Fratelli Tutti, Pope Francis’s gaze extends to “all of us” who inhabit this world, our common home. The encyclical represents a large, varied, complex diptych, rich in themes, dominated and enriched by some key expressions: we live in a world "without a common route"; the pandemic has highlighted and aggravated injustices and inequalities. "In today's world, the feelings of belonging to the same mankind are weakening, while the dream of building justice and peace together seems a utopia of other times. We see how comfortable, cold and globalized indifference dominates, the daughter of a profound disillusionment that lies behind the deception of an illusion: believing that we can be omnipotent and forget that we are all in the same boat " (par. 30). In Laudato Si' one of the key expressions was: “Everything is connected”. From a conceptual point of view, Pope Francis has developed the term "ecology" not in the generic meaning of some "green" concern, but in the deeper meaning of a complex system that finds an explanation in the relationship of the individual parts to each other and to the all. In Fratelli Tutti the view is extended to the theme of fraternity: what is distant concerns us. The gaze of fraternity is never shortsighted. It is evangelical and human, but also far more realistic than many "scientific" or "concrete" political ideologies. The encyclical underlines that everyone is the guardian of justice and peace: they are not accomplished by themselves - perhaps through the market - once and for all: they must be cultivated over and over again, individually and collectively.

    Pope for a day In this worksheet you will look at how some current global issues affect poor communities in developing countries. You will explore statements by Pope Francis, and write your own ‘papal’ statement on global issues. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: To have gained a deeper understanding of the Church as a global family To have considered how issues affect communities overseas and the poorest most of all To have experienced the challenge of writing for a global Church containing people with diverse needs and opinions. 1 YOU WILL NEED: Activity 1 • Newspapers / access to online news • Bible What should a Pope • Film clips from CAFOD’s website • Pope Francis quotations be saying?

This could be done by • Kenya: helping people out of poverty (2:15) cutting out a headline or article, highlighting the • Bolivia: the melting glacier (1:24) issue with a marker pen and placing it on a larger sheet of paper. In both cases, poverty contributes to the problem. Examples of current global issues are the refugee Why is this? crisis, conflict, the climate emergency, conflict and pandemics. If you were Pope, receiving reports from bishops in these countries, what would you say to the Church and the world about these problems? What does a Pope have to consider when he teaches? For example, being faithful to Catholic teaching even when speaking to non-Catholics, and considering the poorest first—known in Catholic Social Teaching as the ‘option for the poor’.
