Pope underscores 'dignity, solidarity, subsidiarity' at ILO summit
Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican Secretary of State, delivered Pope Francis' message for the 2023 World of Work Summit hosted by the United Nations International Labour Organization in Geneva. Experts from around the world are gathered for the two-day summmit from 14-15 June discussing the theme,"Social Just for All."
Speaking on Wednesday 14 June, Cardinal Parolin praised the launch of the"Global Coalition for Social Justice" announced at the meeting calling it a"laudable initiative" that resonates with what the Catholic Church encourages the faithful to undertake in being responsible citizens.
This vision of peace supported by social justice may seem utopian, the Pope acknowledged, especially for the millions in our world who are “frequently at the mercy of economic interests or indiscriminate exploitation,” unemployed or under-employed, and barely able to survive.
The Pope in his message read by Cardinal Parolin noted that while the Church is fully aware it does not have the solutions for every issue, it"remains committed to continue proclaiming the Gospel of peace and to cooperate with all national and international authorities in safeguarding this immense universal good, the gift of peace nurtured by true social justice."The challenges faced during the pandemic show how important it is to set out on a new path of solidarity, the Pope observed.
Also important here, he added, is involving the marginalized as active participants in arriving at a more secure peace within our societies, by finding ways social justice can help address the causes of poverty, such as: inequality, joblessness, lack of housing, or the denial of social and labour rights. This means looking beyond just the economic and social indicators.
