Speaking to the final group of Mexican bishops, in Rome for their ‘ad limina’ visit earlier today, Pope Benedict XVI encouraged prelates from the regions of Acapulco, Antequera and Yucatan to make the Gospel message and charity the cement which will build up “authentic human and community development” in that country…
…“the pastors of the Church in Mexico must pay special attention … to the most unprotected groups and to the poor. … From the Gospel, the appropriate response is to promote the solidarity and peace that make justice truly possible. For this reason the Church seeks effective collaboration in order to eradicate all forms of marginalization, orienting Christians to practice justice and peace. In this context, encourage those with greater resources to share them.”
The prelates, Pope Benedict said, need “not only to alleviate the most serious needs, but to go to the roots thereof, proposing measures to give social, political and economic structures a fairer and more charitable configuration.” “In this way,” he said, “charity will be at the service of culture, politics, economy and the family, and will become the cement for authentic human and community development.”
