Cardinal Van Thuân Observatory Comments on "Caritas in Veritate"
VERONA, Italy, JULY 15, 2009 (Zenit.org).-
Benedict XVI's encyclical "Caritas in Veritate" puts God at the center
of the social questions, says the secretary of the Pontifical Council
for Justice and Peace.
Archbishop Giampaolo Crepaldi, who is
also the president of the Cardinal Van Thuân International Observatory
for the Social Doctrine of the Church, wrote this in an article to
appear Thursday in the weekly magazine Tempi. The article, titled "The
Pope Knows Where We Have to Go," was posted today on the observatory's
Web site.
The archbishop noted that the encyclical reiterates
that the social teaching of the Church "sets its sights on the heart of
the problem regarding the construction of the world and transforms the
social issue [...] into nothing less than the issue of 'integral human
development in charity and truth.'"
