RESPONSE TO THE NEW NEEDS OF A CHANGING WORLD
1. Greater efforts are needed for justice and peace because of the glaring inequalities that still exist in the economic, cultural and political development in many countries.
• Clear gap between the rich and the poor
• Discrimination
• Abuses
2. Because of many different local situations, each local church has the responsibility to discern and act in the light of the Gospel and the social teaching of the Church.
• Variety of problems
• “There’s no universal solution even for the same problem.”
• Empowerment of parishes
3. It is the duty of the Church to put herself at the service of all, to help them to understand the serious problems of today, and to convince them that solidarity in action is urgent.
• Not choosing whom to help
• Cause and effect of problems; how to act
• Collective action – everyone should contribute and participate.
• The best time is right NOW.
