Cardinal Pietro Parolin visited Jordan this week. On Friday, he presided over the solemn liturgy for the dedication of the new church of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, built on the site of Jesus’ baptism. In a sign of vitality and hope, more than six thousand faithful attended, filling the church to such an extent many were unable to find a place inside.
Jordan is a nation where the Christian minority is integrated and feels part of the country. Unfortunately, this is not the case in other contexts. What is the role of Christians in the Middle East today?Christians have been present in these countries since time immemorial and continue to be an integral and rightful part of Middle Eastern states and societies, even though past and recent events are encouraging them to emigrate.
During his recent trips to Luxembourg and Belgium, referring to situations of war, Pope Francis called for"honest negotiations" and"honourable compromises." Why has it become so difficult today to negotiate and reach a compromise? Why does diplomacy seem silent? I am particularly referring to the ongoing conflict in the heart of Christian Europe between Russia and Ukraine.
In Christian thought, justice is not merely giving each person their due according to distributive justice, but it is a justice that Jesus Himself evokes—a higher form of justice that becomes love and forgiveness toward others. In his address to the Diplomatic Corps, Pope Francis spoke about the diplomacy of forgiveness. That passage was particularly beautiful because it highlights the ability to go beyond the mere demands of justice.
