On the occasion of the Pope ’s visit to Trieste on Sunday, July 7, for the conclusion of the 50th Italian Catholic Social Week, the newspaper “Il Piccolo” has made available a previously unpublished text by Pope Francis, an introduction to an anthology of papal speeches and messages entitled “At the Heart of Democracy.”and Libreria Editrice Vaticana are offering to readers in conjunction with my visit to Trieste on the occasion of the Social Weeks.
Democracy, we know well, is a term that originated in ancient Greece to indicate the power exercised by the people through their representatives. A form of government that, while it has spread globally in recent decades, seems to be suffering the consequences of a dangerous disease, that of “democratic skepticism.
Here, thinking today about what the “heart” of democracy means, I want to say: Together is better because alone is worse. Together is good because alone is sad. Together means that one plus one does not make two, but three, because participation and cooperation create what economists call added value, that is, that positive and almost concrete sense of solidarity, which comes from sharing and advancing, for example in the public arena, issues on which to find convergence.
