Dad adopted a delegation of an institution promoting the social teaching of the Church in the field of politics

Pope Francis took an audience with a delegation of the research institute Dignitatis Humanae, promoting the social teaching of the Church in the field of politics. The name of this institution, which in Latin means "dignity of the human person" , is taken from the name of the declaration of the second Vatican Cathedral on religious freedom - the right of the individual and associations of public and civilian freedom in religion.

In his appeal to the institute employees, Pontiff again emphasized the need to promote the dignity of the weakest - born children, poor, elderly, seriously ill and disabled. They run the risk of being thrown out onto the side of the society striving for efficiency at all costs. This false model of man and society is generated by practical atheism, which denies the Word of God, claiming that each person was created in the image and likeness of the Creator, in his appeal, the pope, which gives the "Vatican radio" .

He urged this word to open, which "calls into question our worldview and the method of action, our criteria, priorities and choice - and then something can change." “The power of this word puts the borders to those who would like to become a hegemon, abusing the rights and dignity of other people,” the head of the Vatican emphasized.

Pope Francis also mentioned the importance of promoting the social teachings of the Church, primarily among laity and among those who are directly involved in politics. He explains such a need by the fact that it is important for these people to learn to think according to the Gospel and be consistent in the dialogue and cooperation with everyone who shares, if not faith, then a look at a person. And this view of a person can only be a goal, not a means.
