Under your leadership, may the American people continue to draw strength from the lofty po- litical, ethical and religious val- ues that have inspired the nation since its founding. At a time when the grave crises facing our human family call for farsighted and united responses, I pray that your decisions will be guided by a concern for building a society marked by authentic justice and freedom, together with unfailing respect for the rights and dignity of every person, especially the poor, the vulnerable and those who have no voice. I likewise ask God, the source of all wis- dom and truth, to guide your ef- forts to foster understanding, reconciliation and peace within the United States and among the nations of the world in order to advance the universal com- mon good. With these senti- ments, I willingly invoke upon you and your family and the beloved American people an abundance of blessings.

The proposal is addressed to all religious leaders and to people around the world to implore God to help humanity overcome the coronavirus (Covid- 19) pandemic. The appeal released on Sat- urday, 2 May, reads: “Our world is facing a great danger that threatens the lives of millions of people around the world due to the growing spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. While we reaffirm the role of medicine and scientific research in fighting this pandemic, we should not forget to seek refuge in God, the All-Creator, as we face such severe crisis. Therefore, we call on all peoples around the world to do good deeds, observe fast, pray, and make devout sup- plications to God Almighty to end this pandemic. Each one from wherever they are and ac- cording to the teachings of their religion, faith, or sect, should im- plore God to lift this pandemic off us and the entire world, to rescue us all from this adversity, to inspire scientists to find a cure that can turn back this disease, and to save the whole world from the health, economic, and human repercussions of this serious pan- demic.

  • POPE FRANCIS AS a GLOBAL ACTOR Where Politics and Theology Meet
    POPE FRANCIS AS A GLOBAL ACTOR Where Politics and Theology Meet EDITED BY ALYNNA J. LYON, CHRISTINE A. GUSTAFSON, AND PAUL CHRISTOPHER MANUEL Palgrave Studies in Religion, Politics, and Policy Series editor Mark J. Rozell Schar School of Policy and Government George Mason University Arlington, VA, USA A generation ago, many social scientists regarded religion as an anachronism, whose social, economic, and political importance would inevitably wane and disap- pear in the face of the inexorable forces of modernity. Of course, nothing of the sort has occurred; indeed, the public role of religion is resurgent in US domestic politics, in other nations, and in the international arena. Today, religion is widely acknowledged to be a key variable in candidate nominations, platforms, and ­elections; it is recognized as a major influence on domestic and foreign policies. National religious movements as diverse as the Christian Right in the United States and the Taliban in Afghanistan are important factors in the internal politics of par- ticular nations. Moreover, such transnational religious actors as Al-Qaida, Falun Gong, and the Vatican have had important effects on the politics and policies of nations around the world. Palgrave Studies in Religion, Politics, and Policy serves a growing niche in the discipline of political science. This subfield has proliferated rapidly during the past two decades, and has generated an enormous amount of scholarly studies and journalistic coverage. Five years ago, the journal Politics and Religion was created; in addition, works relating to religion and politics have been the subject of many articles in more general academic journals.

  • Rassegna Stampa 6 Febbraio 2017
    RASSEGNA STAMPA di lunedì 6 febbraio 2017 SOMMARIO “Se sua madre quella sera non fosse andata al cinema, o se in cartellon e ci fosse stato un qualsiasi altro film, Luca Mattei oggi non sarebbe vivo – racconta Lucia Bellaspiga su Avvenire di ieri -. E nessuno (eccetto forse lei) lo piangerebbe morto: non sarebbe neanche nato. Venuto al mondo per il rotto della cuffia, Luca era già pronto in rampa di lancio per essere abortito, uno dei 100mila desaparecidos che ogni anno in Italia spariscono in silenzio. La storia è sempre quella: un uomo che volta le spalle, una donna sola, la maternità vista come un peso impossibile, l’illegalità di chi per legge (la 194) dovrebbe garantirle ogni supporto e invece emette un frettoloso certificato di morte. «Mio padre se ne andò di casa appena seppe che mia madre mi aspettava – racconta Luca, nato in Piemonte 35 anni fa –, così io crebbi senza di lui e a 7/8 anni cominciai a sentirne forte la mancanza. Notavo che con mia sorella maggiore, che lo aveva avuto in casa fino a 5 anni, per lo meno aveva un rapporto, con me nulla, il che mi rendeva un bambino molto triste, anche se mia madre invece mi ricolmava di attenzioni. Con l’adolescenza la mancanza del padre fece crescere in me una rabbia ingestibile, che scaricavo contro l’innocente mia madre, non le parlavo, ero aggressivo. Il motivo era che non sapevo più chi fossi io, senza quel punto di riferimento...». A preservarlo da droga e alcol sono stati lo sport e il desiderio di non veder piangere sua madre: «Giocavo a calcio e questo mi ha salvato, sfogavo tutto lì, e poi vedevo l’estrema sofferenza con cui mia mamma discuteva con mia sorella quando lei difendeva in lacrime quel padre che tanto le mancava, e io non volevo aggiungere strazio a strazio».
