Vatican City — Are we who we say we are?
This is, or should be, the question of the hour — the question that ought to be at the center of our lives, drawing on and demonstrating our purpose.
All the more so now, during an election season in which the White House has instituted a policy that puts unprecedented limits on the constitutional right to freedom of religion.
A conference at the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, a Vatican think tank, yielded some related thoughts and warnings. The conference was convened in order to prepare for the 50th anniversary of Pope John XXIII’s encyclical Pacem in Terris. The Pontifical Academy was founded in 1994 and is meant to facilitate a continuing dialogue between faith and reason, and between the social sciences and the social thought of the Church.
