(Vatican Radio) The Vatican on Tuesday advocated for an increased involvement of women in making, maintaining and building peace.The Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, Archbishop Bernardito Auza, was speaking at a UN Security Council Open Debate on Women, Peace, and Security.“Setting up women to succeed in using their talents for making, maintaining and building peace also requires combatting poverty and ensure access to other fundamental resources,” the Vatican diplomat said.“Helping women to bring healing to the world by addressing the causes and consequences of war  and violence also means protecting them in this vital mission,” – continued Archbishop Auza – “Without the inputs and specific skills of women, the most comprehensive understanding possible of the causes of conflicts and the most effective solutions to end them and build peace may never be fully attained.” The full statement is below&nb...
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis on Wednesday called for solidarity with migrants and refugees.Speaking to the crowd gathered in St. Peter’s Square for the weekly General Audience, the Pope reflected on two particular corporal works of mercy - welcoming the stranger and clothing the naked – and said that the growing numbers of refugees fleeing war, famine and dire poverty calls us to welcome and care for these brothers and sisters.Pope Francis reflected on the many stories of migration that are to be found in the Bible and on how, through the centuries, so many committed Christians have found generous ways of meeting the needs of people fleeing violence and injustice. “Today – he said – the current economic crisis unfortunately fosters attitudes of closure instead of welcome”.   “In some parts of the world walls and barriers are being built. It appears that the silent work of men and women who, in different ways, do what they ca...
(Vatican Radio) Police chiefs, Bishops, Religious sisters and representatives from civil society, who make up the Santa Marta Group, are joining together this week, 26-27 October, in the Vatican to share and encourage best practice in the struggle against human trafficking.Among those taking part in the conference is Archbishop Stephen Brislin of Cape Town, South Africa. He spoke with Christopher Wells about the meeting.“What the conference tries to do is to bring together bishops and heads of the Church together with chiefs of police from various countries,” he said.And so we often have chiefs of police from South America, from Canada, North America, various European countries and some African countries as well, and Asian countries, and sometimes the presidents of the different episcopal conferences, or some bishops who are particularly concerned about the issue. And the idea of course is that together with the police we believe that the church has a very important ro...
Rome, Italy, Oct 26, 2016 / 03:03 am (CNA).- This week 130 Syrian refugees landed in Rome as part of a pilot program aimed at providing safe passage for migrants seeking to enter Europe, all of whom voiced their gratitude and desire to leave war behind.“I want to live normal, as a human, just that.”This is what a young woman, who preferred not to give her name, told CNA just hours after arriving to Rome from Lebanon.A university student studying geology, she is originally from the southern city of As-Suwayda, but left her friends and relatives behind and came to Italy by herself in the hopes of continuing her studies and living a normal life, far away from war.The situation in Syria “is destroying everything. Every person, every dream, you can’t dream. There is killing everywhere. This is Syria now, not before,” she said through tears.Wiping her face dry, the young woman didn’t want to talk about her family, but said she came to Italy “to co...
Vatican City, Oct 26, 2016 / 05:09 am (Aid to the Church in Need).- When we perform the corporal works of mercy – specifically welcoming the stranger in the form migrants and refugees – we are welcoming Christ in them, and helping to restore their full dignity as humans, Pope Francis said Wednesday.“These works, in fact, make evident that Christians are not tired and lazy in waiting for the final encounter with the Lord, but every day go out, recognizing his face in the many people asking for help.”Continuing his reflection on the corporal works of mercy, the Pope’s catechesis during his Oct. 26 general audience centered on Matthew 25:35-36: “I was a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me.”The works of mercy related to strangers are “timelier than ever,” he said, adding that “the economic crisis, armed conflict and climate change drive many people to emigrate.”“However, migration is not a new phe...
