Read moreIn the recent past, the Academy has devoted various meetings to analyze different aspects of globalization. Two complete sessions, parts of two other ones, two workshops – one of them, on globalization and education, together with the Pontifical Academy of Sciences – and a colloquium. All this work has enabled us to very clearly reaffirm that there is a lack of charity and justice in the world we live in. This may be summarized in a general way as disproportionate allocations or reallocations of any kind of resources, promises not honored and unequal divisions.
All of this has been addressed by the renewed appeal to charity and justice made by the Pope, Benedict XVI, in particular in his encyclical Deus Caritas Est. These facts and this appeal form an important part of the background to our meeting. The subject of this XIII plenary session is the relations between different peoples and nations, the developed and the developing, the emerging and the poor, from the point of view of the virtues of charity and justice. We will ask ourselves whether these relations, in the light of the social Magisterium of the Church, can become more just, fairer, and more peaceful, and what the route should be to achieve such ends. In other words, is a partnership for charity and justice possible in the globalized world? In order to help us to fulfill these goals the purpose of this Introduction is twofold. The first part, that is backward looking, presents a very brief synthesis of the previous work of the Academy on globalization.
The second part looks, instead, to the present and to the future, as it is focused on the identification of the new signs of the times that we should cautiously read in order to assess if they contribute or impede an improved effectiveness of charity and justice in the relations among peoples and nations at the beginning of this new millennium. To fulfill this second task the Academy considered that it was important to organize this XIII plenary session in an unusual way, inviting many people from outside the Academy, with different roles and expertise, to actively participate in our work, and to listen to them in order to have a broad picture of our world before getting our final conclusions on such crucial issues for the future of humankind as they are the ways to improve the effectiveness of charity and justice in the relations of peoples and nations.
