Congress in Rome

Mother and Teacher of all nations—such is the Catholic Church . . . to hold the world in an embrace of love, that men, in every age, should find in her their own completeness in a higher order of living, and their ultimate salvation. She is ‘the pillar and ground of the truth’. (Mater et Magistra, Pope John XXIII).

I was honoured to be able to participate in a recent Congress in Rome, organised by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace (PCJP), to mark the 50th Anniversary of Pope John XXIII’s encyclical, Mater et Magistra (Mother and Teacher – on Christianity and social progress). The theme of the Congress was: Justice and Globalisation: From Mater et Magistra to Caritas in Veritate.
