Gambetti: recognizing each other as brothers and sisters to walk together
Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, archpriest of the papal St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and one of the organizers of the meeting, said: “We must bring intelligence back to the debate on the human person in a world that is dissolving and marked by financial capitalism. by technology that has become an end rather than a means, and by greed. »
It is necessary, he reiterated, to have a reflection that encompasses all situations in an integral manner and to “recognize ourselves as brothers and sisters to walk together.”
