In an editorial published by"L’Osservatore Romano", the Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication reflects on the highlights of Pope Francis’ speech at the closing session of the Italian Catholic Social Week in the northern Italian city of Trieste.
The Pope's questions are addressed to us and bring us back down to earth. They are concrete. Like charity, of which politics - as Francis repeats, citing his predecessors - is the highest form. They blow up the carefully constructed schemes of polarization. They adopt a paradigm that only the shortsightedness of our time does not consider political.
It is the only true antidote to the cancer that corrodes politics and democracies, which feeds on hatred and indifference. Politics – the Pope told us – is “participation”. “It's taking care of everything.” It is thinking “of ourselves as a single people,” not as my clan, my family, my friends". “It's not populism. No, it's something else."
Father Primo Mazzolari translated all this by inviting us to look up: not to the right or left, or to the centre, but high up. Starting with being new men instead of adventurers of the new. Men and women who are capable of freely taking on themselves and honouring a commitment rather than behaving like Pontius Pilate. People, who do not stand watching, on the sidelines, the fight for justice.
