Time to Build a Just Society

After the tragic January earthquake that left over 230,000 dead, hundreds buried alive, more than one million homeless and Port-au-Prince in ruins, it’s time for the international community to help rebuild not only the capital but Haiti itself, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. However, the aid must not repeat the errors and exploitation of the past which, in a big measure, were responsible for the country’s poverty, warn human rights groups.

GMOs are Going to Create Famine and Hunger

A well-known writer on environmental themes and a missionary who spent more than twenty years in the Philippines, Fr. Seán McDonagh is leading a campaign to denounce the negative impact of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Because he believes they are not at all the solution to feed the poor of the world but, on the contrary, they can only contribute to create more famine and hunger.

Life in all its Plenitude

It is fundamental to comprehend that we have to move from a socio-environmental vision, which is exclusively centered on the well-being of human beings, to a posture that incorporates the respect, the care, the preventive and defensive action towards all living beings, that is, of life in its plenitude and magnitude. This is one of the conclusions of the second Comboni Social Forum, held during the World Social Forum that took place in Belém (Brazil), and a step towards a new missionary attitude.

Now It’s Our Turn

“Every Church, every Christian community is called to step in and accept the encounter and the confrontation with other cultures and other faiths. While valuing and protecting its own initiatives, it must remain open to listening to the messages that come from elsewhere, to accept or to reject and criticize them in accordance with the basic reference point: the Gospel.” These words of Jesuit Fr. José Minaku Lukoli remind us of the new role that the African Church has to assume in the midst of the continent’s struggle for justice and peace.

Inculturation And The Word

Paul had detractors in his lifetime and even until now. But it is beyond question that Pauline Christianity greatly shaped the history of Christianity from its early period. His inculturation of the gospel of Christ helped turn the Jesus movement into a universal religion.
